After having their children take an IQ test for kids, parents may be entering the holiday season knowing that their little ones are, in fact, gifted. Their kids' new status may leave them wondering what types of presents their gifted children will find most stimulating.

Fortunately, there are plenty of holiday gift ideas available to them, straight from the people who know best. For instance, the parents and teachers of students in the Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) program at Pennsylvania's Upper St. Clair School District, recently released its holiday gift guide on the District's website.

If children devour books, parents may want to nurture their love for reading with engaging stories that will make kids think, such as Agatha Christie mysteries, or titles featuring the detective Sherlock Holmes. The GATE gift guide also suggests periodicals like "Science Illustrated Magazine" and "Discover Magazine."

Parents who are looking to purchase a few games for their kids may want to consider "Settlers of Catan," a board game that could help players develop their logic and social skills at the same time.

If parents still have not found the perfect gifts for their brainy children, Yahoo! Voices suggests they visit websites like MindWare.com and FatBrainToys.com and see what kinds of engaging items they can pick up.
