The best thing about books is that they allow you to travel anywhere you want and become anyone; a hero, a poet, an astronaut, a wizard, anything really. You can give your little ones the gift of adventure by cultivating the habit of reading from a young age.
Some notable places to get children books include Popular Bookstore, Owl Reader's Club, Kinokuniya, Woods in the Books, Hook on Books, and more!
2. Sweets, Snacks & Treats

If you have a sweet-toothed kid, they will probably never say no to sweets, rather it will be a much welcome gift. Grab a bucket and fill it with chocolates, cookies, cakes, macarons, candies, and all things sweet. If you’re worried your little tyke might eat all of the sweet stuff at one go, you can divide the portion and gift it over several days instead. This way you can make sure they don’t overdose on sugar and extend the happiness over several days!
3. Tech Toys
We’re in the technological era and that means, among other things, oodles of tech toys! Not only are tech toys a great way to keep your little humans entertained, but they’re also a great way to keep them up-to-date with the technological advancements of the time!
You can consider myFirst Sketch, a durable and environmental-friendly portable sketch pad; PlayShifu Tacto, a series of interactive board games for families, and; the Intelino Smart Train, a classic toy train, reinvented, among others.
PlayStation has also recently launched the new Astro Boy game, a one-player puzzle challenge game that is suitable for family fun! Play together in turns and see who can get past the most difficult challenges!
4. Game Credits
If your kids are on Roblox, Fortnight or playing any game that requires in-game currency, Game Credits might just be your best bet!
Get the right credits (please don't get Robux for Fortnight), and your kids will definitely adore their present. Game Credits do not take up space at home either, so there is no decluttering to do later, and if used correctly, it can also teach the child about savings and spendings too.
So, don't dismiss the idea too quickly!
5. Shop Online - Some Ideas from Shopee
If you are an online shopper, here are some ideas that Shopee has shared with us for Children's Day presents too! The best part? Many of these brands offer Next Day Delivery, so your purchase could be at your doorstep in less than 24 hours.
Looking for a gift that lets your child showcase their inner Picasso? A DIY Fluid Bear would be perfect for that! The best part is, they can use their creation as a keychain to show it off to everyone. If painting isn’t their thing, they might enjoy using this Kids Camera instead. It’s a great way for them to experiment with angles and focus as they capture special moments.
For the older children, the book 101 Cool Science Experiments book will be useful for both entertaining and educating them. Warning: Messes might occur during the experiments. For families that have a Nintendo Switch and want a no-mess educational option, Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. Brain is the ideal choice. Additionally, the IINE Mecha Warrior Joypad is a great accessory for giving your child their own set of controllers.
