Simple + useful gifts for kids
- Some affiliate links included -
Christmas is just around the corner, and many are trying to figure out what to get the little ones in their lives. Many people automatically think about toys for kids' gifts, but I would bet most parents are tired of the toys piling up and wanting to gift something different. Let's be honest; many kids have far too many toys already, so getting something completely different is a much welcome change.
We try to take a practical and meaningful approach when it comes to gift-giving, and that includes our little ones.
When it comes to gifts for our little ones, we try to stick to a few guidelines:
things they need
something they want
experiences
things that fuel their creativity
educational gifts
Getting caught up in what to get kids can quickly lead to getting way too much. It can become overwhelming for you and the kids. Going by these little guidelines can help keep shopping more focused.
If you are still stuck on what to get the kids in your life, I thought I would add some more specific ideas…..
Here are some gift ideas for the kids in your life:
Things they need/could use:
Clothes- kids grow so fast, clothes are always needed.
Books- not only educational but also great for family reading time together.
