Recently, I went to the birthday party of a little child living the opposite door of mine. I was invited as a guest at the party, and so I took a gift for the child. It was a nice Lego set. In fact, I picked the Lego set for some special reasons. Thank you so much for asking the question, and I will describe the entire event now

Usually, Lego sets are used to make different structures and play with them. This is a perfect set of toys for the kids under years of old. Besides, the toy set also helps to make the kids smart and intelligent. They can exercise their ideas and intelligence in making the structures. It does not matter how weird the structures be in reality, the kids get a sort of entertainment in building the toys and playing with them. They are in love with such toy sets. Besides, the Lego sets also help the kids to learn many basics and apply them in their real life

My neighbour, Mr Ramadeen Gokhle is a nice man. He lives with his family and he is a banker by profession. He has two nice little kids. I was invited on the birthday of his older daughter, Samantha. She turned nine on that day. Basically, she is a smart girl and knows very well how to deal with people. She is also very good in her studies and loves to play strategic games. So, when I was invited as a guest on the ceremony, considering her features I decided that this would be the best gift for her from me. Accordingly, I got this Lego set for her which has some advanced techniques and tools. She liked the gift so much and had thanked me several times for the nice present

Samantha is a nice little girl. She looks very cute and has a very good relation with me. She often comes to my house and plays with my kids. In fact, she behaves like an older sister of my kids. So, when I was invited on her birthday, I was happy. She was growing up. She is matured enough to deal with the world but she needs a greater motivation for the purpose. So, she needs something special that could motivate her in her real-life situation. Marking the birthday, a grand event was organised. Her parents were also happy with the event. A notable number of people were invited to the ceremony at their home. It was a joyous day for Samantha. Everyone brought presents for her and she was extremely glad. She was surprised with almost all of the presents which I came to know later when she came to meet us with some of her presents

I picked the gift considering various reasons as I told before. Actually, I try to give gifts or presents which could of use to the receiver. I do not prefer to provide some sort of show pieces that will increase the beauty of the living room or the showcases. Rather I like to provide present that the receiver could use in everyday life. It will also help them to remember me whenever they will use the present. Based on this ground, I searched the internet to get the right gift item for a girl of her age. Then I came to know about the lego set and its benefits. Since she was a little angel and it would be helpful for her mental faculty, I picked the lego set as the gift for her
