Below you'll find over 80 gifting ideas—from great books and cozy clothing to snacks for their stockings and toys enabling screen-free fun for holiday break and beyond.
Check out 80+ Gifts For Kids below, as well as our guides for Gifts For Babies, Toddlers, & Preschoolers, and The Homebody Mom.
Top Picks
Indoor Balls
Safe Sports GearHave a child who loves to play sports indoors? (Don't we all!)
These "House Balls" help prevent interiors damage thanks to their soft fabrication, while also having a similar weight and bounce of an outdoor ball.
The offerings include versions for soccer, volleyball, and basketball—for ages 4 on up.
Dollhouse + Furniture
Wonder & WiseA dollhouse is one of those big gifts that can lead to years of imaginative play—especially during the preschool through early elementary years.
This dreamy version by Wonder & Wise includes 24 pieces of the most adorable modern-meets-classic furniture, and a roof that can be flipped up to reveal an attic.
All you need to do is add dolls!
Custom Bead Kit
Bauble BarA great screen-free activity for the elementary-school crowd, this personalized beading kit includes supplies for 100 bracelets and 10 sets of beads that spell out your child's name specifically, plus 230 alphabet beads for other messages.
The 25 compartments keep things organized, and can be refilled after your kiddo uses up the 625+ color and sparkle beads.
Another Bauble Bar favorite of ours—especially for group crafting—is this Design Your Own Bracelet Kit that comes with beads stored in an easy-to-turn (and share) rotating case.
