Experience Days For 10 Year Olds

Hitting double digits is a major milestone, and it's time to celebrate in style! Your 10-year-old is ready to truly appreciate the awesomeness of a great gift, so get out there and find something spectacular to mark this special anniversary. 10 can be a scary age to buy for, as they have built a sense of identity and self, have started to have definitive preferences and be more assertive to voice as to what they do like and what they don’t!

However, fear not, double digits is a wonderful age to buy for as they are learning the value of money so are more appreciate what is being bought, and still have that sense of childlike fun that soon ebbs away toward the teenage years.

There is no one size fits all guide when it comes to gifting for a 10-year-old, that’s for sure! However, if you follow these few easy tips, you can’t go far wrong!

1. You don’t need to throw huge amounts of money at the gift! Kids of this age are pretty in tune with money and how much things cost.
2. Consider the child’s interests and personality! Some might be more outdoorsy than others, I know that my two would have very little shared interests when it comes to gifts.
3. Don’t lose the childlike element. Yes, they are getting older but they will almost certainly have a sense of fun and wanting to “play”.
4. Consider Social Interaction. Board games, group activities, and multiplayer video games can help them develop social skills.
5. They are ALWAYS learning: Look for gifts that combine fun with learning, such as puzzles, books, STEM kits, or educational games and foster creativity with art supplies, musical instruments, or DIY craft kits.

At the age of 10, you have probably been through the process time and again of worrying what to buy. It really does seem to only get harder the older they get. If you wanted to move away from the tried and tested and gift your 10 year old an experience that they will never forget, then you cannot go far wrong than to take on some of these recommendations!
