Necessary items vs Toys as gifts

[Claraviolet]

Kids like Toys better than the stuff they use in general.
So, as birthday gifts, what do you usually give to them?

I usually give them toys.

I usually give them toys.

That's the best thing to do.
I don't get why many people try to give necessary items rather than toys.... As gifts

Some gift giver may secretly find it entertaining when pranking kids by using pretty wraping paper to wrap a necessary present in a big heavy box, and they want to see the reaction of a child after the child receives a gift like pencils, pens, and other items which they may not necessarily want.

I think prank posts of people getting unwanted gifts on social networks like YouTube and Twitter may make people give non-toys and non-entertainment gift to kids.

I wouldn't give them toys, because everyone gives them toys which most end up unused or end up in the trash in a year.

Giving kids toys like large building blocks or ball is usually safer for younger children who are too young to use things like small electronics, tools, and some school supplies like paper clips, scissors and pencil sharpeners. A lot of necessary items have sharp edges and things like screws and batteries which can fall out, and cause a baby to get hurt if they swallow a screw or poke themselves with a sharp item.

Teaching kids to donate old toys to a school or daycare can be an important lesson.

I've given nieces and nephews toys as a present.

As they get older, I may start adding a few things that they need and mixing it in with stuff that they want.
