As a mom of two toddlers, shopping for the holidays feels like a bit of a push-pull between wanting to get my kids really fun gifts and also not wanting to add more clutter to our house. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking through what my kids seem drawn to at their current stages and what will be things that they can grow into for years to come. Here is what we’re giving our littles for Christmas plus these matching jammies.

Gifts for Dino Boy, age 3.5

Gifts for Sunshine Girl

Stocking Stuffers + Wishlist for Family

A few cute items that are on the wish list.

Not on the list, but worth a mention…

An awesome and very appreciated and (no clutter!) gift option for families is a membership to a local zoo or museum. My mom renewed our membership for Dino Boy’s birthday and it’s really the gift that keeps on giving all year round. It allows us to visit the zoo for about $6 for parking plus snacks and gas.

If your loved one doesn’t live close enough to an attraction to make a membership feasible, a gift of tickets plus gas and restaurant gift card for a day trip would be incredibly thoughtful.

It’s so easy to get wrapped up in what’s under the tree this time of year, but what really matters is who is in the room with you.

Pin for later!
