Holiday Gift Guide for Kids

Practical holiday gift suggestions for the little ones in your life

Over the years I’ve always tried to gift items that unique AND useful to friends and family. This year I am SO excited to share my curated holiday gift guides with you too!

All of the items on my holiday gift guides this year are things I use personally (and LOVE) or they’re on my own shopping lists this year.

I hope you enjoy!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10

1. Swoop Bags – My kiddos are LEGO fanatics, but no matter how hard I try to sort and color coordinate they are more of the dump and dig mentality. These bags are made from high quality canvas, come in bold and neutral colors too (YAY!), and easy to clean. Just load em’ up and swoop em shut. Great for hanging on hooks, or use the mini size to toss into storage baskets.
2. Amazon Echo Dot Kids Edition – We have Amazon Dots and Alexas in various places in our home. They’re great for playing podcasts, music, white noise or checking the weather. This kid’s edition comes with one year of FreeTime Unlimited so they can listen to books, music, or play games.
3. Beddy’s Beds Zip-up Bedding – Okay so maybe this one is more for the mamas, but If you’ve ever thought about taking the plunge on this bedding Now. Is. The. Time. Black Friday is the biggest sale of the year on these with 25% off of everything (Use code BLACKFRIDAY19) valid 11/28 – 12/1. We have these for both of our boys, and in our master bedroom as well. GREAT for kids with sensory issues who need that extra security feeling while sleeping, and perfect for husbands who don’t want to make the bed. ; )
4. Personalized Books – These are so cute, and I was so excited to get one that was for siblings from Hooray Heroes. You get to personalize the character’s names, appearance, and more. I’ve also ordered from Wonderbly as well, and their new “Where are you?” series are like a Where’s Waldo version for your own child.
5. Canvas TeePee: Five years ago I ordered a basic canvas teepee for the kids as a last-minute panic gift. They still love it and play with it regularly today. Pair it with this Tree Stump Ottoman and Plush Campfire Set for endless creative playtime.
6. Mail Call Playset – Sadly, ask most kids how to address an envelope these days and they’re clueless. I bought this for the kids a while back, and it’s adorable. They love playing mailman by sending each other letters and packages.
7. Nugget Comfort – I bought these for the kids last year, and while they are an investment, they are so well made. Each set comes with 4 pieces and a zip off / washable cover. You can mix up the pieces to build forts, obstacle courses, tents, lounge chairs, etc…. Great for heavy work play or vegging out for movie night. They sell out FAST and won’t be restocking until Black Friday so check out their website for up to date info. No sales, but they do offer a discount if you buy multiples.
8. Magformers – These are a good classic for a variety of ages. Great for building fine motor skills, and creativity. The magnets allow all pieces to be put together and taken apart easily.
9. Kiwi Crate – These crates are a good option for kids of all ages. With multiple different age ranges and interests, they’re easy to customize for each individual child. I’ve heard great things about them, so I’ll be gifting some to the kiddos in our family. Their Black Friday special is bringing most crates down to under $14 a month. (3, 6 & 12 month subscriptions)
10. ClimateRight by Cuddl Duds Pajamas – These are the Walmart version of CuddleDuds, but the suede-like material of this particular set is super soft. My daughter has a Frozen pair with thumbholes that we’ve been washing daily she loves them so much.
