Ready to find a great gift?  Asking yourself these four questions will help you to pick the perfect present every time.

1. Where does the kid live?

By knowing where the boy or girl lives, you’ll know what types of toys are appropriate for that region of the country.  If they’re in a land locked state in the midwest, chances are a surfboard won’t make a good gift.  If the person lives in southern California or Miami, they probably won’t have much use for a snowball maker.  Think about where the little one lives and then you’ll know the types of toys that can use.

2. What season is it?

Seasonality is equally as important.  If you’re sending a gift in December to a kid in Maine, warm weather toys like squirt guns and skateboards can’t be used.  Indoor toys or outdoor snow toys maybe much better for colder regions.  By remembering that the weather may be different where they live, you can help prevent making the recipient wait until the next season starts to enjoy your gift.

3.  What are they into?

Ask their parents what they’re into.  If they like sports and it’s summer, some new gear can be great.  If they’re into brainteasers and challenges, puzzles and riddle books won’t be a bust.  You now know what toys make sense for where they live and can be played with as soon as they open them.  By narrowing it down a bit further by interest you can help make sure they’ll be engaged and excited to play as soon as they see it.  That leaves one more thing.

4. How old are they?
