Success gift ideas for children
Good success gifts for a child are things they can see and eat: a cake in their name, balloons with the numbers of the new grade, or a box of chocolate they hand out to their siblings with pride. Results day for a child is bigger than any birthday, and a gift that reaches the house that day says everyone saw the effort. The ideas here cover passing exams, kindergarten graduation and memorisation, plus a gift for the child from an aunt or grandmother far away. Unsure what they like? On Haddiyah the child scrolls through 2 to 8 gifts on a parent's mobile and picks one, delivered home in Riyadh and Jeddah.
A cake in their name
The first success gift is a cake: red velvet, chocolate, or the teddy bear cake for the little ones, delivered to the house and cut on results day. Small sizes cover the family, large ones when friends are coming. See cakes.
Balloons with the numbers of the new grade
Balloons are what make the success show at home: the numbers of the new grade or the score, the letters of the child's name, and coloured balloons around them. They arrive inflated and ready with the cake in the same order. See balloons.
Chocolate they hand out with pride
A child who passed loves to hand things out: a box of chocolate or sweets they share with siblings and neighbours, saying 'I passed'. See chocolate and sweets in the small sizes.
Kindergarten graduation and memorisation
A kindergarten graduation or finishing a part of the Quran calls for small graduation balloons and a cake, with the card in the child's name. See graduation balloons and congratulations cakes.
From an aunt or grandfather far away
A child is happier still when the gift comes from someone far away: an aunt in Jeddah, a grandfather in Riyadh. It reaches the family home in Riyadh and Jeddah by the mother's or father's number, with the card in the child's name and the sender's. See congratulations gifts.
Before you send
- Write the child's name and the grade they passed on the card, and have someone read it to them out loud. That matters more than the gift.
- Number balloons: the new grade or the score, and letter balloons for the first letter of the name.
- A gift from an aunt or grandfather in another city reaches the house the same way: the mother's or father's mobile is what receives the link.
- Order in the morning on results day so it arrives in the evening slot while they are still glowing.
- The first term ends on Thursday 7 January, with ideas in end of term gifts.
Frequently asked questions
What do I give my son when he passes?
A cake in his favourite flavour and balloons with the numbers of his new grade, delivered to the house on results day. For something he hands out, a box of chocolate. See cakes and balloons.
What do I give my niece for her kindergarten graduation?
Small graduation balloons with a cake or chocolate, and the card in her name. It reaches your sister's house at a time she sets. See graduation balloons.
Does it arrive on results day itself?
Yes: a single gift of cake, balloons or chocolate goes out in the evening slot of the same day when a parent sets the location before 4 pm. Some gifts need longer to prepare. The time is on each gift page.
How does a child's gift arrive when the number is the mother's?
Enter the mother's or father's mobile as the recipient, and they get the link to set the house and the time. The card is in the child's name.
