Our first gift guide of the year is here! Gift ideas for kids is our most extensive gift guide this season, so we needed to bring it to you first. Now that Kyle and Sloane both have little ones, and Lani’s kids are entering their teen years, we’ve decided to cover all the phases of childhood. Whether you need a gift for your own kid, a friend, or a family member, we hope you’ll find the perfect gift here.
Black Friday shopping has already started (obscenely early) for most stores, so why wait?
Happy Gifting!
Lani’s family was gifted this Super Dreidel board game, and they all jumped right in! The perfect family game night gift!
Gifts for Baby and Toddler
The cutest category of our gift ideas for kids is, naturally, the baby and toddler section. This adorable matching One-Piece Zip Pajamas, 2-Pack Bandana Bibs, and Teether is the perfect gift trio for a baby who realistically needs nothing, but you know they deserve something cute! Toddlers can be a little more finicky with their preferences, so we found a very practical Bombas sock gift box and a to-die-for pair of Ugg shearling slippers. If you’re looking for something a little more spunky, how cute are these Milk Teeth Okay Jeans? Kyle obviously found them and likely will be buying them for Woods.

Gifts For Kids
Per usual, we know the ultimate goal with gift ideas for kids is finding the gift that will keep them busy for days! For 25 straight days of activities, this Experiment A Day Advent Calendar is totally genius, and the Pinball Machine DIY Building Kit looks to us like it might also take 25 days to complete. A win-win for everyone! Lani’s kids had one and played with it for years. If you know a budding artist, the Camp Snap Digital Video Camera, Kodak Digital Instant Print Camera, or the Entrepreneur Bead Kit might be your best choice this year. Looking to keep your bookworm entertained? The Murdle Mystery Jigsaw Puzzle is a puzzle, a story, and a mystery all in one. I think you can guess which bookworm child of Lani’s is getting this Hanukkah gift!

Gifts for Teens
Teens. To know them is to NOT understand them. We recommend keeping gifts simple for teens; don’t overthink it. Something easy and universal, like the Brixton Heist Beanie or the Native Union Active Case AirPods, is a crowd-pleasing teen gift. If you know a teen who is becoming increasingly interested in history, this PRINTWORKS Iconic People Memo Game is aesthetically pleasing and educational. For gifts with a more feminine flair, the BaubleBar Wrist Strap or the Clarins Lip Love Minis Set are so cute and sophisticated, we’d be lying if we said we didn’t love them too!
