When it comes to buying gifts for kids, people usually think of the latest and greatest toys that would make awesome presents. As a parent of a 3-year old, I would prefer gifts that are more educational, inspiring and resourceful. I’m not saying that I’m against giving toys altogether, but, if I want my child to excel in her schooling years, I want him or her to be exposed to as much learning as possible. Movie gift baskets with kids DVD movies along with activity books can be an excellent birthday gift for a toddler who is eager to learn new and exciting things.

There are a lot of kids DVD movies to select from when designing a movie theme gift basket including some of my daughter’s personal favorites: Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc, Happy Feet, and Ice Age to name a few. You can also substitute storybooks with interactive DVDs instead of kids dvds if you like. One of my favorites is Exploring with Dora Storybook and DVD which is available through Amazon.com and is only $14.39 with free shipping at the time of writing this article. What I really like about the Dora collection of DVD movies is that it lets your kids interact to improve their vocabulary, learn basic math skills and improve their motor skills. I’m glad to see that there are programs and cartoons available that are meaningful to our kids today and actually helps them through their preschool years.

You can take the time to put together your own personalized kids baskets yourself or consider an online retailer for gift basket expert advice and can help you design a movie theme gift basket or select from ready-to-go movie gift baskets from their website. If you decide to design the gift basket yourself, don’t forget to add goodies such as microwave popcorn, a box of twizzlers and gummy bears to spruce up the present. If you would rather get a pre-made basket, then look to Gift Basket Delivery Services for a great selection of dvd gift baskets specifically designed for kids.
