Doing research is really important before you buy anything even things like children's toys. It can be hard knowing which toy to buy because there are such a huge range of things. The children will tend to want specific toys that they have either seen advertised on the television or that their friends have However, parents are often more interested in making sure that their children have educational toys or something which will keep them quiet and entertained for a long time. It is a good idea to check out the age suitability for the toys that you are buying. This is because, if they are very young they may swallow any small parts and they may also be too young to understand the rules of the game or how to play with the toy. They may be liable to break the items too if they are brittle or delicate. Do not buy a RC plane for a young child as they will find it too complicated to use, may fly it into things and may even tread on it and break it.
It is a good idea, before you buy anything, even if you think it is the most suitable toy, to check with the parents first. The child may have been asking for a CEN racing set for ages but you may find that the parents have been saving up for one or think that it is not a suitable toy for their child. If you just go out and purchase it, then it might get you into all sorts of trouble. You should still be able to keep your purchase from the parents, just draw it into a conversation subtly to test the water. If you are still not sure then it might be best to ask them outright. You don't want to upset the parents by giving the child the Thunder Tiger toy that they were planning on buying for him or that they think he is still too young to have.
Most people are sensible and either ask parents or pick up hints about gift ideas. It is important to remember hat you are buying something which will please parents and child and not something which you would have liked as a child or that you would like now. If you want the toy then buy it for yourself and get the child something that they want!
