We’re officially less than two months away from Christmas! If you haven’t at least started thinking about your shopping list for the holiday season, now is the time. Today I am sharing some of the best Christmas gifts for kids! While I don’t have kids of my own, I am an Aunt to four which must count for something.
If you didn’t see my previous gift guide, check it out here. And be sure to sign up for my email list to be notified the next time I post a gift guide!
Trash Stash Game
This was a recent purchase we made for our garbage truck obsessed nephew. And wow, we didn’t expect him to LOVE this game as much as he did! He is just about to turn 3, and this is the first game that has truly clicked for him. He can easily be on his own team, which is rare for smaller children. Even our 7-year-old nephew loves playing along! Overall, a great gift idea at a great price.
Magnatiles
If you’ve never heard of Magnatiles, think modern day building blocks! These tiles use magnets to stay together and allow kids to create anything their imagination can come up with! Magnatiles (and other off brands) make fun themed kits as well, like this racer one I featured. These tiles can get pricey, but there are plenty of dupe kits on Amazon like this one. Or this mini travel kit is a great option for on-the-go!
Flip 7
The packaging of this game says, “the greatest card game of all time” – and they aren’t lying! We got this game over the summer and the whole family was loving it. From the 7-year-old and 19-year-old nephews, to my 70-year-old father – we all loved it! It’s super easy to pick up and I’d say kids 6+ can enjoy. This is a great white elephant gift, stocking stuffer, etc.
Anywhere Chair
I know I have put this item in past gift guides, but it is a gift I stand by! One thing I *try* to avoid when gifting things to kids, is gifting them toys that will only peak their interest for a few months. A gift I’ve made somewhat of a tradition is getting my nephews an Anywhere Chair for them for their 1st birthday. All these years later, my 7-year-old nephew still uses his, as does the youngest one.
Mini Mahjer
If you love Mahjong like myself and have wanted to introduce the game to kids in your life – this could be a great gift! This set comes with everything you need to introduce the game to kids and get playing. This would be a great winter break activity.
Indoor Tent
This is such a simple gift that will end up being a huge hit! There are so many variations of pop-up tents for kids. So depending on the size you want or the color scheme you like – you can find something perfect! I love any gift or toy that encourages kids using their imagination rather than screens, and something like a tent is perfect.
Kids Camera
Back at Easter we got our youngest nephews little cameras similar to this one. Let me tell you – they are OBSESSED! They love taking them on nature walks and snapping pictures of anything and everything. While these cameras aren’t the best quality, they still think it is so much fun.
Sensory Bins
Please note that this WILL end up making a mess! However, these will keep kids occupied for great lengths of time. My nephews love sensory bins! They’re especially great if you live in a colder climate and will spending more time indoors very soon. Just make sure to have the vacuum nearby.
Paper Airplane Book
This is such a fun gift for older kids – maybe 7-10. Our nephew has a similar book and loves making new paper airplane models! It’s another great gift to get them away from the screen. And a great option for an indoor activity.
Jellycat
I know that most kids don’t need anymore stuffed animals… But Jellycats are too hard to resist! This would be a great gift for little ones, or preteen girls since they’re all the rage. Nordstrom has a great assortment and offers free shipping.
