UNIQUE GIFT IDEAS FOR ALL THE CHILDREN ON YOUR LIST
Your Tech-Obsessed Kid
Every Christmas, I tell family and friends the same thing when they ask for gift ideas for #thebigone. “Anything hands on- something he can build.” Circuit Scribe totally nailed the ‘hands on’ theme when they created their line of cool, tech-y, DIY kits. #thebigone is so psyched to try building his very own drone with my dad. The idea of drawing circuits, instead of attaching wires, make this project totally approachable and do-able for anyone. Controlling the drone with an app just adds to the tech fun, so screen time fanatics will be fans. Of course, the mom in me loves the opportunity for STEM learning that is built into such a fun project. If you have hands-on, tech-obsessed kiddos, you’ll definitely want to take a peek at the Circuit Scribe Drone Builder Kit!

The Crafty Kid
As tech-y as #thebigone is, #thelittleone is just as crafty. Give him an assortment of supplies like glue, pom poms, chenille stems and more- he’ll craft you a masterpiece! That’s why the Klutz My Clothespin Zoo kit is such a perfect choice for him. He loved working with my husband to create adorable little creatures. Plus, there’s tons of opportunity to incorporate fine motor practice and learning, so this mom is happy! His crafty older cousin is going to have a blast when she unwraps the Klutz My Simple Sewing kit on Christmas Day! I can’t wait to see what she is able to put together using the kit.

Your The Kid Who Loves Story Time
It will surprise literally NO ONE that books are often a go-to gift in our home. (Often… always… Same difference, right?!) The only downside to having a large home library is that it can be tough for friends or family to come up with unique book choices while they’re shopping. David Ezra Stein’s new book Interrupting Chicken and the Elephant of Surprise is the perfect choice! The new sequel to Interrupting Chicken from Candlewick Press is filled with bright, vibrant illustrations and an engaging story. It’s a great option for a read-aloud or bedtime story.

A Kid with a Sweet Tooth
My husband and I just celebrated our anniversary last month. Instead of a romantic date night (what’s that?!) we took the boys to see the new The Grinch movie. Their excitement could not be controlled when they discovered a set of cute PEZ The Grinch character candy dispensers in an adorable themed tin! (There may have been a few moments of fighting over who got to keep the Fred dispenser, but we worked it out!) My boys were equally excited for the chance to try a new-to-them PEZ flavor- sour green apple is definitely a new family favorite! These sweet little treats are fun to collect, and perfect for tucking into a stocking or tying on a package.

the Magic Obsessed Kid
#thebigone’s dad introduced him to Harry Potter a few years ago. Since then, he’s become a fan of all sorts of fantastical fun- books, toys, movies, and more. He could NOT wait to break into the Funko 5 Star Albus Dumbledore Pop Figurine that arrived. My boys honestly can’t get enough of small figurines and toys- they love using them for pretend play, bringing books to life, etc. I know that this colorful little Dumbledore is going to be taking part in SO many of their imaginative adventures going forward. The toy is sturdy, with the perfect little accessories to really bring Harry Potter story time to life! And since #thelittleone firmly believes he is just as grown up as his big brother, the illustrated editions of Harry Potter books, like this volume of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, are the perfect read aloud choice for our family. #thelittleone can check out the beautiful artwork and illustrations from Jim Kay on each page, making chapter books more accesible to his age range.
