In anticipation of extraordinary surprises, boys and girls count down the days to bring the fabulous time of receiving gifts closer. It is sometimes very difficult for parents to make a good present for various reasons. Some cannot afford to buy an expensive gift for a child, while others have already gifted everything before, so now they cannot come up with anything original.
An alternative in choosing holiday surprises in various situations can be a gift made by yourself. An original gift for a child, created with their own hands, will be more valuable than a purchased one, because when making it, parents put all their love and warmth into the product. It doesn't matter how old the child is, the main thing is to make a gift that will be unique and unforgettable.
What gift to make?
Sometimes it happens that many mothers and grandmothers do not have enough ideas for making creative things. But this is not a problem, it is worth observing the child and, having learned about his preferences, start work. Children under ten years old can safely sew, knit, glue various toys from cardboard and other materials. Homemade earrings, beads, sweater bracelets, bags and other things are suitable for seniors. In fact, the choice of things for needlework is very large, and everyone can always make exactly the one that suits him.
Universal gifts
An excellent surprise for any occasion as the main gift or addition to something will be the so-called universal gift. Most often, this is the name for sweets, but not just a bar of chocolate or a box of chocolates, because they can be bought and eaten on a weekday, but a chic set consisting of various delicacies. A basket of sweets filled to the brim with delicious surprises will be remembered for a long time by any person, regardless of his age.
Candy paradise

With the help of all these delicacies, you can create a beautiful souvenir if you make any figure out of sweets. Gifts for children made from candies, made with their own hands, look very beautiful and extraordinary.
To create such a gift, you will need some tools: thick cardboard, scissors, double-sided and ordinary tape, corrugated paper, ribbons, glue. Materials are selected depending on the type of product, so they can be supplemented with all kinds of decorations.
The principle of operation consists in the manufacture of a volumetric frame of the required shape from cardboard. For example, if you make a car, you must first glue it from cardboard, then give it a presentable look by pasting with corrugated paper and edging with ribbons. Only after the work done should you start decorating with sweets. Sweets must be chosen taking into account the shape of the product; for some, round sweets are suitable, for others - rectangular or square. Selected goodies must be glued in such a way that bare places do not show through from under them. Candy should be glued only to double-sided tape and never use glue. The final stage will be wrapping the candy souvenir in a transparent gift wrap. For these types of gifts, it is necessary to choose sweets in very colorful wrappers, then the made present will look festive and will undoubtedly cause a sea of applause.

Collecting all necessary materials, you can get to work:
- Inflate two balloons, one large (for the body), the other smaller (for the head).
- Spread the balls thoroughly, in turn, with PVA glue.
- The ball smeared with glue must be wrapped with white threads so that there are no large bald spots between them. Outwardly, such a ball looks like an openwork product. With the second ball, do the same as with the first. After that, you need to let the glue dry on the spheres.
- When the glue is completely dry, you will need to pierce the balls with a needle and carefully remove them. Thus, you will get strong balls of threads.
- Next, you need to start gluing the body and head of the future Santa Claus. This is done with PVA glue.
- The next step is to make clothes for fairytale hero... The easiest way is to make a cape out of red fabric that looks like a coat. To do this, you need to take the fabric and cut out a circle from it, the size of which will fit the large ball (body). In the center of the large circle, make a small circle, you need to cut it out, this will be the neck. Then, from one edge of the large circle, make a cut to the neckline. Thus, you get a cape that will need to be glued to the body.
- On the edge of the cape and on the neckline, you need to glue a white border made of fluffy fabric.
- Next, you should start making a beard. Take fluffy threads and, cutting them into small pieces, glue them in the place where the beard will be attached. Make and glue hair for Santa Claus in the same way.
- Now it's time to start gluing the felt-cut eyes, nose and eyebrows.
- It remains only to make a hat for the festive hero. To do this, you need to cut an oval out of red fabric, bend it in half and glue it on the sides. Glue the same material to the bottom of the cap as on the hem of the cape. Glue the cap to the head of the protagonist. Santa Claus is ready.
If you wish, you can make a small gift bag for your grandfather, which will fit small souvenirs for children. If Santa Claus is meant for a girl, then you can put hairpins and hair ties or other jewelry in the bag. For boys, you can fold small cars or constructors. A bag filled with sweets would also look good. Such a gift will be good not only as a toy, but also as an annual decoration for the New Year tree.
