2020 Gift Guide: For Kids

Instax Camera

We got an Instax for Liam over the summer and it was a huge hit! It’s basically an old school polaroid camera. He’s still honing in on his photography skills but it’s fun to see things from his perspective!

This is a great bundle too that comes with some accessories in addition to the camera!

Pogo Jumper

Fair warning – this has a squeaker in it. However, it is great for “getting wiggles out” and burning some toddler energy! This is another item the kids got for their birthdays and love!

Sharper Image Remote Control Monster Truck

Liam got one of these for his birthday and loves it! It can flip all around and is essentially the quintessential boy toy.

Vet Play Set

It’s been over a year since Liam first told us he wanted to be a Vet. When I saw this Vet set, I knew he needed it! Melissa and Doug never disappoint and this is no exception! The kids love taking care of their animals.

Personalized Apron

Liam loves to help me cook and bake. We have a bunch of adult aprons but they’re all so big for him. I know he’d love having a personalized apron with his name on it for when we’re working in the kitchen.

Temporary Tattoos

Liam loves tattoos. Like loves them. And won’t let me scrub in the bath so they last longer. I’m getting these so we are stocked and they’re age-appropriate. Also grabbing the girl version because monkey see, monkey do.

Bath Bomb Set

Anyone else’s kids obsessed with bath bombs? I blame YouTube Kids for getting Liam started with these. We love the Dr. Teals kids bath bombs too but this set is colorful and a little something different!

Fossil Set

Liam absolutely loved this kit! It’s a mess so I’d save it for a nice day when you can do it outside. He still keeps the fossils he “found” in a little baggie in the drawer of his bedside table. Great gift for the dinosaur lover in your life!

Frozen Arendelle Castle

Now this is a splurge item. However, Ellie got this for her birthday and both she and Liam love to play with it! It doesn’t come with any characters (we already had those!) but was relatively easy to put together and great for entertaining both kids which is a win in my book!

Melissa and Doug Twin Babies

We got these for Ellie last year and she is obsessed! They are a good size and are something she plays with pretty much every day of the week. The girl loves her some babies!

Baby Doll Stroller

This was also a Christmas gift for Ellie last year that I would replace immediately if it broke. It’s so affordable and sometimes she and even Liam will even sit in it thinking it’s for them.

Baby Doll Cradle

We don’t have this cradle but it has 1,200+ positive reviews. I wanted to get it last year but it was sold out so I’m snagging it early for our girl before it sells out.

Little Pritti Pretend Makeup

If you have a little girl who loves to get into your makeup, you NEED this! We gave it to Ellie for her birthday and she loves it! It helps when I’m getting ready I can tell her to grab her makeup too so she leaves mine alone. If you know you know.

Cuddle + Kind Doll

We have a bit of a Cuddle + Kind obsession in our house! We started with Sebastian (Liam calls him “Wee”) and he is his go-to stuffed animal and then we started with Ellie…She has Lucy (she and Ellie have the same birthday!), Charlotte and Penelope. They are pricey as far as stuffed animals go but they are heirloom quality and so so cute! I hope we can pass them on to their kids one day!
