Birthday gifts based on your kid's personality

We all know that every child is different. Between their unique ever-changing interests and weekly favourites, picking birthday gifts for the kids can feel like cracking a code. But here’s the solution: we've got you covered with over 4,000 gift option.

Whether they like spending hours running around or prefer to experiment with whatever they can get their hands on, our guide will help you nail the present with an experience they’ll look back on, not leave at the bottom of the toy box.

Is your week chock-a-block with your kids’ sporting commitments and activities? Then your job’s easy, because all your child wants it to be outdoors, keeping active and burning off energy.

Just another sport to tick off their list, surfing will go down an absolute treat, especially if they are a water baby at heart. If water isn’t their thing, they’ll have a ball rock climbing, or if they like to get competitive, go karting is good fun that you all can get in on.

Video games, screen time and every gaming device under the sun. If this sounds like your child, then all you need to make this birthday memorable is an outing that channels their inner gamer.

Giving them the same competition they crave just without the screen time, a round of mini golf never fails to entertain. It's a family classic, meaning the whole tribe can get involved. If screen time isn’t a problem, take them to enjoy the arcade games you grew up with at Archie Brothers, or give them a taste of Virtual Reality gaming.

Have a mini–Dr Dolittle on your hands? An animal experience that surrounds them with their favourite furry or scaly friends is how they would choose to spend their birthday. Plus, it’s wholesome family fun that is quietly educational at the same time.

The classic zoo or aquarium trip is no-brainer. With interactive sessions to make it extra special, they'll thrive getting up close to their favourite animals. Otherwise horse riding and whale watching (if the season is right) are two other unexpected encounters you’ll all look forward to.

If your fridge is covered in their artwork and your home is slowly turning into a gallery of their different projects, it’s safe to say you're raising a creative child. Embrace it by keeping those creative juices flowing with an experience that encourages their inner artist.

Ideal for sparking their imagination, a day at the art gallery will have them in their element. Most galleries usually have interactive, hands-on areas that make the experience super kid friendly. You can also put their creativity to the test by checking out exhibits like ArtVo and Metartworld.

Does your child always have their nose in a book? Your little bookworm just wants a story-fuelled birthday that sweeps them away to another world and let’s their imagination run wild.

Putting their reading skills to the test, an escape room is a fun way to get their brain ticking. With different themed rooms to pick from, they'll love feeling like the main character in their own story. For something a little more different, you could also take them to watch the Australian Outback Spectacular or a magic show.
