What to give a 6-year-old
At six, gifts that help prepare for school work well: a nice backpack, a pencil case, a children’s encyclopedia, a board game. Balloons or a soft toy are lovely additions. A girl can get her first small bouquet — for example, daisy-like chrysanthemums — and Mum can get flowers as a thank-you.
