Sharing my 2024 holiday gift guide for kids this year! We tend to stick to the shopping strategy of: “Something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to learn.”
Hello friends! Happy Wednesday! I hope you are doing well and all of your Thanksgiving prep is going swimmingly. I have a few last minute things to do but I’m sneaking off to a yoga class with a friend.
I’m so excited about today’s gift guide because kids bring the magic of the Christmas season. I’m basically like Buddy the Elf and I thought nothing could make the season more exciting… then we had kids. They just magnify all the magic of the holidays. We do our holiday shopping early, so I wanted to put some ideas out there if you’re doing the same thing.
When shopping for the kids on vacation, we keep things on the simple side. They get their Santa presents and stuff, and for us, we stick to “something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something they can learn.” This checks all the big boxes and prevents things from going too bananas with gifts from my parents and other relatives. [Another hack: any gifts that aren’t opened in the first couple of days are stocked away in the playroom. I bring them out on a rainy day or when the kids say they’re looking for something to do.]
