Gift Guide for Kids

for the 18 month old to 8 year old

We like to gift toys that get our girls outside, pushes them to use their imagination and most importantly can go the long haul and survive years of playing. Our most loved toys are:

Slack Line – We have had this one for 2 years and offers endless playtime and the adjustable attachments grows with your kids interests and abilities. Perfect for the older kiddos.

Wishbone Bike – This bike has been used by all our girls during the past 6 years. It’s 3 in 1 design from baby walker, toddler trike and balance bike goes the distance and is truly amazing.

Lego Storage – While gifting a lego storage box might not make your kid super excited, get one to go along with the bricks because it makes my Momma heart so happy. Easy cleanup and functional stackable storage – by far the best find for us.

Loog Guitar – Our daughter wanted a real guitar for Christmas last year and we stumbled upon Loog guitar. With just 3 strings it sounds and tunes like a real guitar. It makes learning easy and fun with their App and flash cards. Perfect gift for your future rock star.

Linked below are our favorite gifts for the holiday season that we use, own and 100% recommend.

A tradition my Mum started is a new pair of pajamas on Christmas Eve which we have continued with the girls. In years past we got away with matching sets but our 8 year old will no longer let that fly! This reindeer night gown, plaid PJ pants, jolly shirt, and star PJ set are a perfect option for coordinating pajamas without matching.

I hope this guide helps you find something special for that kiddo in your life!
