Christmas is a magical time for kids -- the tree done up in lights, the decorations streaming from shop windows and homes and the excitement and anticipation that comes with Christmas eve and the promise of beautifully wrapped
gifts stashed under the tree.
If you're shopping for your own kids, little cousins, nieces, nephews, friends' kids, neighbours kids, etc etc, here are a few gift ideas that will make sure their eyes light up brighter than the Christmas tree!
Newborns (0-12 months):
Shopping for babies is fairly simple and one of these ideas is sure to click:
Gift set
There are a huge variety of baby gift sets, and it shouldn't be too difficult to find one that suits your taste and budget. A baby set usually has a baby towel, a pair of socks, one shirt-pant/skirt set, a rattle and a cap. These range anywhere from Rs 250
at your local store to Rs 600 on the internet. Different brands offer different combinations. Take your pick.
Bottle set
These sets contain a baby bottle, two nipples, a brush, a small cup and sometimes, a bib. Again, different combinations are offered. These range from Rs 500 and can go up to Rs 1,500, depending on the brand and the combination.
