What’s On Your List? As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: Peter 4:10
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalms 139:13-16
God build the most special and unique gifts into our children, and into each of us. If you can see specific gifts that God has build in your child...think of the effect you might have on them if you wrapped up a gift marked inside with a 'discernment', 'teaching', 'giving', or 'mercy' in it.

"You could get them a gift that relates to it." If discernment is their gift, maybe then praise them and allow them new privileges within your home that would require the use of more discernment...teaching them that as they learn to use their gift wisely more----God will grow it in the same way and gift them even more in return. You could tell them the parable of the talents from the Bible. A Christmas gift from God would be a most special gift! Faith Infused Living.... Reaching Goals Higher!
