Gifts for 7-year-olds

At 7 they have interests of their own and an opinion about everything. Getting it right depends more on knowing what they like than on their age: football, building, drawing, cards.

In a hurry? These three

What to look for at 7

They can now read a game's rules and explain them to others. What works: 15-minute card games, building sets with working parts (cars that roll, mechanisms), bracelet kits and anything with their team's badge on it.

What tends to miss

Guessing at their collection: the album they already have, the set they have already built. If you cannot ask, choose a gift that does not depend on what they already own.

Frequently asked questions

What do you give a 7-year-old for under €20?

A well-known card game, a book from the series they collect, a small building set or a pack of trading cards with a binder. Many of the gifts that get used most are in that price range.

Why don't you split gifts into boys' and girls'?

Because what predicts whether a gift goes down well is the child's interests, not their sex. A girl who loves football will find what she needs on the football page, and a boy who draws on the arts and crafts page. Filter by what they like and by age and you will get better ideas than from a 'for girls' or 'for boys' list.

Why don't you show the exact price?

Amazon prices change several times a day and we do not want to show you one that is no longer right. We give a rough range (for example, €10 to €20) based on what we saw on the day we reviewed it; the real price is the one shown on Amazon when you click.
