Fear not! I've rounded up some of my absolute favorite gift ideas that are sure to be a hit with kids of all ages and budgets.

Kobi Yamada books are a personal favorite. Dive into the world of captivating stories and beautiful illustrations. Books are always a fantastic gift that fosters imagination and learning. Many Kobi Yamada books offer a compendium stuffed animal if you want to give a little something extra. Look at this adorable fox!

Under $50

Ignite their curiosity with a rocket kit from National Geographic. It's a fun and educational way to explore the wonders of science. National Geographic has a multitude of kits in this price range depending on interests. These rockets have been a staple in kids toy collections from ages of 3-10 making this a versatile gift.

Under $100

These magnetic building tiles are a classic for a reason. They come in endless shapes and sizes, encouraging open-ended play and creativity. There is always a new structure in various stages of construction sitting in our living room. The best part is you can continue to add sets and grow the collection.

Special Sets

This incredible Classic Set in Rainbow colors by Stapelstein can be used as stepping stones, storage trays, or as bowls for collecting treasures on your outdoor adventures. Together with the Board you can build a mini stool or use the Board on its own to improve your balance by spinning and rocking. This is sold as a set or the balance board is also sold individually. My daughter is constantly inventing new ways to use these colorful disks.

If you are looking for more options may I suggest you explore the unique and thoughtfully curated selection at this fantastic children's shop; Little Wares. You're sure to find something special!

No matter what you choose, the most important thing is to give a gift that comes from the heart. Happy gifting!
