For Kids/Teens
My goal with kids’ gifts is to surprise and delight without the landfill waste (or just tech gifts). It’s hard, y’all, and such a balance. So most of these gift ideas came from them, over the years. Some things they have had and loved for years themselves, and others they want desperately this year. Of course, as 10/12 year olds, now they aren’t interested in the newest/best baby toys, so we shopped and added in a few for you with younger kids or grandkids. Good luck!
Wooden Pretend Cleaning Set
Such a cute set for the kid who loves to "clean" with you :)
Magnetic Chess Set
Charlie and I play chess almost every morning at breakfast, but the magnetic aspect makes it feel like a gadget (and easy to move if we don't finish).
Nightlight & Alarm
A really cute and affordable nightlight clock!
Nex Playground
Magnet Building Tiles
If you have a preschooler under 5 and you don’t have magnet tiles, you are missing out. They will play with these for hours and for years.
Personalized Music Toy
I bought these for the kids when they were little and they still love to play them :)
Caraval Series
This series is a teen fave - super imaginitave filled with mystery and romance. Age 13+
Initial Necklace
A great Etsy find that's so dainty and sweet.
EOS Body Lotion
The only lotion Marlee's teen sis uses (and she loves it too!). Smells amazing and is affordable.
Silk Pillowcase
This silk pillowcase helps a ton with frizzy hair and prevents breakage
Wooden Busy Board
Our kids were obsessed with these when they were toddlers.
