When we get to know our coworkers and their families, if they have kids, one friendly way to show our appreciation and support is to give gifts to their children for birthdays or other holidays. All it takes are a few notes to keep track of the ages and interests of the children, then we can pick out a thoughtful gift that the kids will love and our coworkers will consider kind.
Here are a few ideas that work for kids of various ages.

Soccer is a very common sport for boys and girls starting from a young age. Many of these kids are involved in weekend games. It is a fun game for them since it involves lots of running around. A great gift for these kids is this GlowCity light up soccer ball and cones. The soccer ball lights up for 30 seconds when impacted. It comes with a bonus battery and tool set for replacing when the light battery runs out. The cones are LED lit and shine brightly. This is a great set to extend the fun of playing and drills into night time, which is a great idea during the hot summer months.
Kids of all ages like to play basketball and if the family has a hoop set up at home, this basketball hoop light set is a great idea. The tube of LED lights fits around the rim of the hoop and lights up brightly so the goal can be seen even in darkness. The lights are shielded so they are not harmed by impact. It attaches with strong tape and fits all standard sized hoops. It is powered by batteries and has a weatherproof battery case that adheres with a velcro fastener.
Most children have bicycles and this YardStash cover is just what is needed to help keep the bikes out of the weather. It has a reflective cover, making it visible to car headlights. One or more bikes can fit under its large sheet. This offers protection from rain, snow, sunlight, and dust. There is a drawstring at the bottom to keep it secure and it has air vents at the top to release moisture.
For older kids who are starting sports, this Elite Sports ab wheel roller will help them condition and strengthen vital core muscles. It has a sturdy construction and a smooth movement to help in its action. It will roll on any flat surface and instructions for proper use can be found on the company website.
For those kids who have taken an interest in music, and for those parents who are very tolerant of noise, this Mendini five piece junior drum kit might make a very special gift. This kit is sized for kids and comes with bass drum with a pedal, tom toms, and a snare drum with a stand. It also has a high hat cymbal with a foot pedal and a 10 inch crash cymbal mounted to the drum stand. It has a drum throne seat that is height adjustable and comes with a pair of drumsticks. This has everything necessary for the kid to get started. It is, however, probably a good idea that we should ask the parents about this noisy gift first.
These gifts are all great choices for kids of various ages and will be appreciated by both the children and our coworkers. With just a little bit of background work to find out if what the children like to do, we can match the gift to their interest.
