Best Gifts for Children Nairobi: Perfect Gifts for Kids

Children respond to gifts they can hold, hug and show off. These ideas work for birthdays, school graduations and visits, with advice on choosing for each age.

Ideas by age

• Toddlers: a 25cm teddy bear, small enough for little arms. Check for small parts that could come loose.
• PP2 and early primary: a 50cm teddy or a small, bright graduation bouquet for photos.
• Older primary: a bouquet with chocolates feels more grown up. Ask what they actually like.
• Teenagers: sweets, flowers in a favourite colour, or a card with a personal note.

Choosing a teddy size

A 25cm bear costs from KSh 3,500 and a 50cm costs KSh 4,500. A 100cm bear at KSh 8,500 can be bigger than the child, which many kids love, but check that there is room at home. Read more in our teddy bear guide.

A few things parents will thank you for

1. Check for allergies before sending chocolates.
2. Ask before sending a very large gift to a small home.
3. Include a short card with your name, so that the parents know who to thank.

Graduation day

School ceremonies start early, so order ahead and share the school name and a contact number. See our graduation and kids gifts guide. On other days, order by 4PM for same-day delivery across Nairobi.
