Its gift giving season and I have you covered! I’m one of the those people who starts Holiday shopping over the summer but then is still finding a few last minute gifts mid-December. Or, I forgot what I bought back in July and then end up buying a few more gifts for family members before I realize what I already had. The more, the merrier, right?
Today I have a list of sure-to-please gifts for the kids!
Currently, our kids are 6, 4, and 2, so most of these gifts are geared toward the 10 and under crowd, but you never know what might spark another idea!
- My kids are constantly asking to use my Sony camera when I am photographing for blog posts. And with this wood camera they can pretend right by my side! ($12.99)
- Any dinosaur lovers out there? I’ve ordered tons of downloadable prints from the Caravan Shoppe and now you can get their coloring pages already assembled in a book – no printing required. This dinosaur coloring book also has jokes, fun facts, mazes and more! ($9.99)
- These crystal pendants are the perfect sun-catcher turned rainbow maker. Hang them in your kid’s window and watch the rainbows dance around the room. Its magical! Maybe you need a few for other areas of your house too. ($9.98 for 2)
- These balancing stones will keep the kids entertained for a while! They are natural pine (no paint!) and will help your child develop those problem solving skills as they see how high they can stack them. ($23.95)
- Qwixx – What’s better than family game night? This game is quick – played in 15 minutes, so you can sneak in a match anytime. ($7.69)
- Okay, these Besties Markers are the Holy Grail at our house. The kids love to draw with them and they are a great size for little hands that have trouble holding thin writing utensils. And they come in several sets so you can pick the animal group your child is sure to love. ($12.99)
- Fat Brain Toys makes quality pieces your kids are sure to enjoy. These spoolz can be played with multiple ways and will keep your little one using their creativity as they explore this toy. ($25.95)
- As my 1st grader begins to read on his own, we have been collecting more books to foster his love of reading. Slothee Loves Coffee, written by an 8 year old and his mother, explores different cultures around the world. ($12.99)
- What kid doesn’t love ice cream? These cheerful Ekobo bowls are the perfect way to indulge in a few scoops of your favorite flavors. Bonus, they’re nonbreakable and dishwasher safe. Win, win. ($26)
- Exploding Kittens sounds like a game any kid would love. This simple card game for kids and adults will have everyone rolling on the floor laughing. It only takes 15 minutes to play and the illustrations can’t be beat. My 9-year-old nephew is going to LOVE this. ($19.82)
- My kids love to help out in the kitchen and this Baking Book for Young Chefs has plenty of new ideas for them to create. America’s Test Kitchen is one of our favorite shows to watch so I love that they made a book for kids too! Pair it with some new measuring utensils or spatulas for a home run gift. ($7.87)
- Would it really be a gift guide if I didn’t put a Yeti product on it? Each of our kids has a Yeti Rambler Jr. and it couldn’t be more indestructible. They are super easy to clean with only 3 parts, and after almost a year, they are holding up great. ($24.99)
- You can never have enough bags – thats the theme of my Christmas presents this year. I bought a John Hart bag this spring and every time I travel its the first bag I reach for. Their mini backpack may be the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen, and it comes in 20 different colors. They make two other sizes of backpack too so you are sure to find one for the big kids on your list as well. ($115)
- Another Fat Brain Toy for the small child on your list – The Innybin. This new take on the shape sorter will have your child developing their fine motor skills as they explore this sensory toy. ($24.95)
- Our 4 year old has gotten more compliments on these tennis shoes than anything else she owns. They’re fun and fashionable and most of all, comfortable. The Originals Flex Sneaker comes in several color options and has sizing from babies to big kids. ($36 – $60)
- If you have a child ready for a real camera, look no further than the Instax Mini. This modern-day polaroid will have your child taking instagram worthy photos in no time. I know a 6-year-old who loves hers! ($69.99)
- This rainbow loom feels like it has a bit of nostalgia, doesn’t it? Just a good old fashioned screen free activity. ($9.99)
