Hobbies And Interests
Time Pieces
If your child is old enough to tell time, a firefighter watch is a practical gift. Buy a colorful watch in the shape of a firefighter's hat or a fire truck. A firefighter-themed clock is one alternative. Purchase a desk or wall clock in the shape of a flame or a fire house. To personalize the gift, engrave a message on the watch band or the back of the clock. Something like, "To my little firefighter" is simple and brief and the kids will love it.
Teddy Bears
Purchase a teddy bear fully decked out with firefighting gear, such as a helmet, boots and a mini-hose. Teddy bears come in different sizes. Younger kids will love big, plush bears to play with during the day and to sleep next to in the night. For that older child interested in firefighters, purchase a smaller bear to sit on top of the bedroom shelf or on her work desk. Start a mini figurine collection for your older child. Purchase teddy bear figurines in different colored costumes or with the teddy bears on a fire truck or in a miniature fire house. Engrave each figurine with either the special date it was received or your child's initials. Soon you will have a wide range of firefighter teddy bear figurines to showcase to your family and friends.
Picture Frames
Your child may have a special picture of the local fire house or of a firetruck. Maybe he took a picture with one of the firefighters at the parade. Showcase those photos in a firefighter-themed frame. For younger kids, buy the frame in the shape of a fire truck or a fire house. For a personal touch, engrave the back of the frame with the date the picture was taken or your child's name.
