Sharing my 2024 holiday gift guide for the kids this year! We tend to stick to the purchasing strategy of: “ Something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read.”
Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! I hope that you’re doing well and that all of your Thanksgiving prep is going swimmingly. I have a couple of last-minute to-dos but am sneaking away for a yoga class with a friend.
I’m really excited for today’s gift guide because kiddos really bring the magic to Christmastime. I’m basically like Buddy the Elf and thought that nothing could possibly make the season more enjoyable… and then we had kids. They just magnify all of the magic of the holidays. We’re getting our holiday shopping done early, so I wanted to put some ideas out there if you’re doing the same thing.
When we holiday shop for the kiddos, we keep things on the simpler side. They get their Santa gifts and stocking stuffers, and then from us, we stick to the “something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read.” This checks all of the main boxes and keeps things from getting too bananas with gifts from my parents and their other relatives. [Another hack: any gifts that aren’t opened in the first couple of days are stocked away in the playroom. I bring them out on a rainy day or when the kids say they’re looking for something to do.]
Today, I’m sharing some of the things on their personal wish lists, along with tried and true favorites. I’d love to hear your kids’ gift requests in the comments and any ideas you have! I’ll also be sharing my first ever tween gift guide this year, too.
–A 3D pen! P has this one and loves it
-Karaoke system
–Tonies! I wish these existed when the kids were smaller; perfect for toddler/preschool age
–Fold and Go farm playset
– Mini Polaroid
– Horse earrings
– American Girl doll. These are always a huge hit… the girls have at least 10. Liv has outgrown them, but I’m saving them for the future
