Cool Gifts For Nephews

You are looking for gifts that would be cool gifts for nephews because you want to be known and remembered as the cool Aunt or Uncle that always gives cool gifts, but you have no idea what gifts would be cool for boys.

Gifts are not the only things that will make you cool in the eyes of your nephew. Being a cool Aunt or Uncle is all about the type of relationship you have with them. You would want to build and develop a strong relationship as early as possible in their lives and maintain it all the way through as they grow older.

Before you do anything, make sure that you will not be undermining your brother or sister’s parenting, so discuss and explain to them first how you intend to build your relationship with your nephew and what are your plans to accomplish it so that there will never be any conflict between you.

To develop a great relationship with your nephew, you would need to gain their trust and form a bond with them and this is done by having alone time together, getting to know each other on a personal but fun level. When you are together, try to find things to do together that you both enjoy because if you and your nephew enjoy spending time together, then he will more than likely want to spend more time with you in the future.

Remember building a great relationship with your nephew is not only about all the fun things that you do together, but it is also about the more serious things in life like:

• Being a good example for him
• Being someone that he can confide in when things get rough
• Being a mediate between him and his parents in certain situations
• Helping him get through certain situations the best that you can when and if his parents can’t.

You might be thinking to yourself that your nephew is still a baby and none of this applies to you yet. But you can still form a strong bond with him right from the beginning by just being around a lot. He will get to know your touch and the sound of your voice, as he gets older he will recognize your face. When you visit take the time to play with him, help change his nappies and even help feed him when he is ready to eat from a spoon. All these things will help build that very special bond between you and your nephew.

Here are a few ideas on how to earn your title as the cool Aunt or Uncle to your nephew:

• Offer to take him for a weekend or the school holidays.
• Treat him as an equal and answer questions he may ask honestly, as kids appreciate honesty while being age appropriate of course,
• Be the person that he can turn to and confide in and give him advice when needed in a friendly way by being his friend.
• Make an effort to be part of his life by showing up to sports events or other activities he does if possible.
• When he comes to visit, have some fun together by doing activities he loves that he would not normally do with his parents like outings to the zoo, camping, hiking etc.
• Teach him how to do new things that you might be interested in that his parents might have not thought of which could broaden his interests like drawing, painting or building something.
• Get to know and support his interests.

If you happen to live far away in another state, don’t worry because this is where technology will play its part because you can face time with him on a regular basis, send your nephew gifts from auntie and uncle that are cool, personalize, unique or offer for him to come and visit you for the school holidays.

To find cool gifts for nephews that you would like to purchase, keep in mind your nephew’s age because if you get the wrong kind of gifts for older nephews, it will not go down very well with him. Yes sure certain types of gifts will be able to slide when he is still a baby but as he gets older, the more important the right type of gift becomes.

You can accomplish this if you keep his interests in mind then every gift no matter how big or small you give your nephew would be seen as cool in his eyes.
