Surprisingly, the younger the child, the harder it is to buy them a present that will be both be appreciated and worth their while in terms of education. Don’t you worry, we’ve put together a collection of gifts that are bound to make any young child happy. Of course, there is the typical slime kit, cars and the usual suspects but we’ve mainly focused on Islamic gifts from small Muslim businesses. This will also help to instil a sense of religion into them from a young age.
Happy shopping!
