Ten years is a turning point in the lives of children. It is at this age that a child ceases to be interested in ordinary toys (the girl is a doll, the boy is a designer and a typewriter), but she does not find a new hobby. Therefore, it is very important to be serious about the choice of a gift for your child. Today, you give it to your birthday just as chess, camera or encyclopedia about animals. Perhaps, by doing this, you will help determine the choice of a hobby or even a future profession in the future. 
Universal gift
There is a category of things that you can givechildren, regardless of gender. In this case, the value of the thing plays a dominant role, and its value. Remember, it is not necessary to buy very expensive presents. The main thing is that the gift should come in handy even in the distant future. Spend large sums only when the kid can not do without something, and you easily allow yourself to buy it. Expensive things
- The tablet
First you need to find out why you need itschoolboy tablet. If he plans to play on the changes (or rather, in the classroom) and watch movies, then it makes no sense to buy such an expensive device. Without this device you can not do it when the baby is constantly traveling. He can call you via Skype, send an email or just read a book on the train.
- Mobile phone
This, perhaps, is the best gift. A child of 10 years old and he after school constantly linger with friends? You can always call him to find out what he does. At a younger age the schoolboy does not yet realize the value of things, therefore he treats them casually. It's unlikely that you want your entire class to be mobile. As for the value of the gift, it is better to choose from the average price category. Too simple apparatus - it's not prestigious, too expensive - it's too early. After all, the main function of the phone is to call. Video, music, games and other entertainment - a secondary.
- A computer
The first two years of schoolchildren are taught to write by hand. But in the senior classes teachers no longer accept abstracts and some works in writing. They demand that everything be printed. If you do not want a child to bring deuces, just now buy him a computer or a laptop. Those who are afraid that their children will play too much, it is worth choosing weak devices. The main thing is to run office programs there. And on some Internet sites you can put a lock.
- Camera
A professional camera, unfortunately, is worthnot cheap. But if you want the kid to take pictures, you have to spend a little. But the usual soap box is not worth buying. After a month or two, this gift will be lying on the far shelf in the closet.
- Music player
Buying this gift, you should count onthat a schoolboy simply can lose it or break it. Therefore, do not choose trendy options. It is enough that the player read the most common formats, and its battery would hold at least 8 hours.
- Sports accessories
Roller skates, skate, bicycle, badminton,volleyball - all this has a beneficial effect on the child's body. Your baby must have sports equipment. If the student is always sitting behind the lessons or at the computer, then he may have problems with posture. Inexpensive things
- Board games

- Book
Various encyclopedias, adventure novels,magazines and comics - all this is interesting for children at such a young age. Just do not buy books from the school curriculum or textbooks. Choosing a gift, rely on the tastes of your child. What you were interested in in 10 years, he may not like.
- Musical instruments
Guitar, piano, violin - it's time for your childlearn to play not only on the nerves of parents. However, do not immediately buy new or professional tools.

And, of course, writing a child to a music school is necessary only with his consent.
- Pets

- Accessories
Earrings, chain, barrette, watch, bracelet - allthis will help feel more mature and independent. But choose not too massive and catchy accessories, as they can hurt the baby. In addition, not all schools allow you to go with decorations.
- Cosmetics
Children tend to imitate their parents. Therefore, if you do not want to once again find a spoiled blush, shadow and mascara, give the girl a set of cosmetics. It includes hygienic lipstick, lip gloss, hand cream, foam, mousse. In general, everything is the same as that of my mother, only from natural ingredients.
- Handbag
The daughter must go to school only with a speciala briefcase or a backpack. But for walks with friends she will need a small, but a capacious handbag. It should contain keys, a mirror, a mobile phone, wet wipes. If all this is difficult to tamp down, this thing will not last long.
- Perfume

- Popcorn machine

He can dispose of them as he likes: treat friends, buy trinkets. You will find his decision wrong, because of what there will be a scandal. Also, do not buy clothes. Sweater, dress, panties, socks pants - it's good, but the kid is unlikely to be happy. This includes also school supplies. If you want to buy a new backpack or a pencil case, do not say it's a gift.
