Buying gifts for anyone is very difficult and the task amplifies if the gift is meant for my little one. It was my darling daughter’s birthday and I was looking for options to gift her. My daughter has keen interest in art and craft and has a cupboard full of stationery thus the option rules out. Giving her board games is of no use as she has plenty of them but plays them with zero interest. Giving her a dress would also not serve the purpose as she has many as per her and dresses are not a gift is her saying. Giving stuff toys was not possible as she says that she has outgrown the phase. Thus, my task got even more difficult. I decided to gift her something that is interesting, keeps her occupied and make her learn something useful and thus my search ended up with Skillmatics .

why I chose skillmatics-

I wanted a gift that pleases her and brings a million dollar smile to her face while adding some value to her life. I have always encouraged my kids to keep learning something new and excel in life. I was looking  for gifts that teach her a skill at her level and also add a fun quotient. My kiddo loves crafting, so I thought that gifting her something on these grounds would be an amazing idea. Thus I found a site that would help and true to its name Skillmatics came as saviour and proved its worth.

What did I buy?

The gift that I got for my little ones got her so excited that she was over the moon. She could not wait to try them and has created some stunning masterpieces. So the gifts under the wrap are as follows:
