Something Fun to Do
Gifts for kids who would rather move, build a fort, or turn the living room into an obstacle course.
 Stepping Stones |  Foldable Gymnastics Bar |
|---|---|
| A huge hit for all ages! My kids (ages 2-7 at the time) have played endless games of “floor is lava” and added these to obstacle courses in the backyard and basement. Also a fun way to teach colors. | So far this has lasted years in our house! A gift for kids who love practicing gymnastics at home. It folds up when you need the space back. |
Something to Play

| Adults and kids in our extended family all love this game! It’s best for about ages 6 and up. | This sketch-and-guess game brings lots of laughs. The worse the drawings, the funnier it gets! | A family favorite in our house. It says ages 7+ but our kids loved this at ages 5 and 6 as well. |

Something to Learn
Gifts with a subtle learning angle.
 Educational Bank |  Reading Blocks |  Magnetic Letters & Numbers |
|---|---|---|
| I’m hoping this piggy bank, with separate slots to save, spend, donate, and invest, helps them learn to be responsible with money. | This is awesome for those learning to read. All three of my kids played with these. | Keep these on the fridge! |
Gifts for Babies & Toddlers
Gifts for Tweens & Teens
Tweens and Teens may enjoy plenty of the gifts elsewhere in this guide, too, but this section if just for them. My own tween son and teen daughter picked these ideas for kids around ages 10-14.
 Shark FlexStyle |  $$$ |  Bean Bag Lounger |  Switch 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| She wants the Dyson (in the adult section), but she is a teen, so she will be getting this almost-as-good but more affordable option. | A fun way to give them cash, the gift they want most of all. | My son has one already. He requested a second for when friends are over. | A big family gift |

Gifts for Adults
Everyday Upgrades & Fun Splurges
 Skylight Family Calendar |  Ember Smart Mug |
|---|---|
|
For the family juggling all the things: a shared calendar to keep schedules in view. *One of my favorite purchases! The kids love being able to see their calendars and I love their chore and tasks lists! |
For the slow coffee drinker: a temperature-controlled mug for a warm cup between interruptions. *This legitimately improved my quality of life. As a slower coffee drinker, my day feels a little bit better when my coffee is still warm an hour after I made it! |

|---|---|---|---|
| For the movie-night host: turn a blank wall or outdoor screen into a movie spot. | For the always-on-the-go friend: a reusable bottle for workdays, workouts, and errands. | For the friend ready to try pickleball: a paddle-and-ball set for a fun day on the court. | For the frequent traveler: a rolling suitcase for the next getaway. |
