Follow on Google News | The Evolution Of Christmas Gift GivingFind Me A Gift look back over Christmases past to come up with some great Christmas gifts for every generation!
By: Jessie Jones http://www.find- A popular pastime at Christmas is to sit and watch a classic film with all the family, so it’s no surprise that every year Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is top of the list! Originally published in 1843, this classic tale reminds us all of the importance of giving and the magic of Christmas. So whether you’re a Tiny Tim or an old Scrooge, join Find Me A Gift as they look back and forward to the gifts of Christmases past, Christmases present and Christmases yet to come! http://www.find- The Gifts of Christmases Past The highlight of a youngster’s morning has always been unwrapping their presents to find gifts they were desperate for. Nothing has changed there, it’s just the gifts themselves that have evolved and developed! So why not reminisce with some retro gifts from way back when? The Jack In The Box Musical Toy is a modern-day remake of a timeless classic. It doesn’t matter how many times you crank the handle and get a fright from the clown within, it’s still such good fun for all! Instead of the scarier clown from older versions, this traditional metal Jack In The Box has a happy-faced clown, which pops out to the tune of ‘Pop Goes The Weasel’. Or how about the chance for another quick scribble on a Magic Sketch? Small in size but big on fun, the Magic Sketch Keyring is like a mini Etch-A-Sketch in your pocket! Available in either pink or green, simply twist the dials on the left and right of the keyring to draw your masterpiece. And don’t worry about accidental slips, just shake to erase! These retro gifts are just perfect for letting the oldies reminisce and for the youngsters to really appreciate fun at it’s finest! http://www.find- The Gifts of Christmases Present Gone are the days when we were happy with a handmade kite and an orange; gifts these days usually mean mp3 players, top of the range video games consoles and designer clothes! Times are changing and technology just keeps improving so rejoice in the wonderful world we live in with some modern-day masterpieces. Years ago it would have seemed impossible to listen to your music literally anywhere and at any time. Well now, no one seems to leave the house without an IPod or MP3 player in hand! Combine fashion, warmth and some serious sound on a freezing winter morning’s walk with the MP3 and IPod Sound Hat. This clever beanie hat has speakers hidden inside its fleecy lining so you can listen to your favourite ‘records’ and keep those ears toasty at the same time! Or how about a miniature handheld game to keep you occupied on the bus to work? The Nintendo Mini Classics are a retro reminder of how good gaming has always been! Shaped like the classic Game Boy console, this game keyring is available with either a Donkey Kong Junior, Super Mario Bros or a Mario’s Cement Factory game. It even features an alarm function, just in case you wear yourself out from too much thumb gaming! The Gifts of Christmases Yet To Come After a look back over the years and the wondrous gifts we’ve been given, it’s time to look forward to the extraordinary Christmas gift ideas coming our way. Classic puzzle re-makes are hot on Santa’s gift scales with the arrival of the Rubik’s 360! Who’d have thought that the legendary Erno Rubik would top the toy charts again with yet another mind-boggling puzzle for us to attempt to crack? The 3d Puzzle ball challenges you to get each of the six coloured balls inside it, into their own designated compartment. The trouble is, the three plastic spheres you have to release the coloured balls from are all weighted at the bottom! If all that sounds more like hard work then a bit of fun, marvel over the amazing design and technology behind Pleo – The Robotic Dinosaur. Possibly the greatest toy of all time (so far anyway), this animated dinosaur is the exact height and weight of a one year old infant Camarasaurus from the Jurassic Period. Young and old will spend hours interacting with this loveable pet dinosaur. Pleo is capable of human emotions such as sorrow, joy and anger and he’ll even sneeze, cough and yawn! Christmas gifts don’t get much better than this! After this fairytale of festive treats past present and future, it’s fair to say that there really is a Christmas gift for every generation. So don’t waste time with the same old pair of socks, get online and get those magical memories flowing with some of these great presents from Find Me A Gift. # # # Find Me a Gift is one of the UK's leading online gifts retailers, offering everything from novelty items to luxury experiences! http://www.find- End
