Selecting Gifts for Kids (Girls) 2 of 3: Illustory

When its Christmas season and it is time to get gifts for your girls, it could be a little difficult deciding on what gifts to choose. The mind boggling variety of gifts available these days makes it all the more difficult to decide what to buy. Long back, we used to feel that we had a limited set of choices. Now that the choice is almost limitless, it poses a totally different problem altogether. Keeping up with the times is not something that comes naturally to people of the older generation. Youngsters these days have fads that keep changing on a frequent basis, that it makes all the more difficult for parents and elders to understand what the real interests of their youngsters are.

There are so many companies that cater to this particular niche. Each of them comes up with innovative products to compete with the rest of the market. This has literally flooded the market with innumerable products aimed at getting the attention of the younger generation. While it is good for the kids, it becomes a nightmare for parents, grand parents, uncles and aunts hoping to get a nice gift for their girls. If they already know a little about their kids' tastes and preferences, then they would be spared a little of the trauma. But if they are totally ignorant of what their kids like, or if they are planning to give a present to a kid who is a distant relative or friend that they are not well acquainted with, then the issue becomes much more difficult. But still, there are a few things outlined here which could help you in getting interesting gifts for your kids.

If your little girl has a flair for painting or creating imaginary situations, them 'Illustory' can be a great gift. Illustory is an innovative product that helps your child literally create a book. The child is first required to compose a story for the book. Then, she can add pictures, drawings and paintings to illustrate the book. This can be done using traditional methods or by using a computer. The work is then sent to the makers of the Illustory product and they would use the material and make a hard cover book for you. The book is produced like any other professional book with features like 'About the Author', Dedication and Foreword sections in the book. You can also order for additional copies if you want to distribute it to more people. More often than not, you would want the child's work to be seen by as many people as possible.

If your girl is a budding writer, getting her an Illustory for a gift would perhaps get her started towards a professional writing career. Creating a work and seeing it printed in book form can be an extremely morale boosting experience for a lot of children. While most of them do their doodling in rough books or scraps of paper, having them printed as a professional book would make them take their talents seriously. It would also help them understand that you really value their skills and treat them with great regard. Just imagine the attention they would get from their own classmates and teachers when they show them their own book. This experience would have a tremendous effect on a child's level of confidence on her own abilities. The Illustory is therefore a remarkable product unlike any other recreational or educational product created for kids that would also make a wonderful Christmas gift.

So whatever type of gift you choose for your girls this Christmas, make sure it is a very innovative and interesting gift so that your kids can have the time of their life during this festive season.
