2025 Gift Guide For Kids.

My 2025 Kids Gift Guide is here! All the favorites from a range of ages – from toddler and preschool to tweens – these are all the things we use, love and gift to our family and friends.

I say it every year, but this might be my favorite year of the kid’s gift guide yet!

Now that I have a 10 year old, an 8 year old and a 4 year old, I feel confident in what my kids LOVE and enjoy playing with the most. This list hasn’t changed a lot this year – in fact, many things stay on it as Emilia moves into playing with some of Max’s things and Jordan moves into Emilia’s. One thing I left off the list because it’s so extensive: LEGOS! Max and Emilia are absolutely obsessed with Legos and build constantly. I’ve listed a few of the big faves, but that’s it.

Preschool & Toddler

Anywhere Chair. This chair has been a favorite since Max was born. All three of my kids still sit in them. There are so many options too! We’ve gifted many of these.

Micro mini scooter. All three kids have also had every version of micro mini scooter. We LOVE them. The lights are so fun. 

Toddler craft table. The pottery barn playtables are the best. I have one that is ten years old and it’s still great. We use it daily. 

Toniebox audio player. This is the best best best gift for little ones. Think all of their favorite music – and they can control it. 

The Nugget play couch. I can’t sing the praises of the nugget enough. We have three!! The kids build forts, playsets, etc every single day. It’s the best. 

Magnatiles construction set. One of the best lifetime gifts ever. Every age adores these.

Toy leaf blower. Jordan is getting this. It’s adorable! 

Pogo foam jumper. My older kids got these at age 3 and they have continued to be a fave!

Magnatiles downhill duo. More magnatile car fun!

Electronic plush doggy. If your kids want a dog but like me, you don’t know if you can keep one more living thing alive at this time in your life, this is for you.

Wooden magnetic puzzle. All 3 of my kids love these montessori magnetic puzzles. They are really fun. 

Dress up play armoire. I got this for Emilia’s dress up clothes when she was 4. It’s so wonderful. We still use it! 

Car Road Tape. This is a repeat from last year because it’s a life saver. On a rough day, I pull this tape out and place it all over the house. The kids instantly have a road/race track/etc and LOVE it.

Sorel waterproof snow boot. If you live in a cold climate… can’t beat the best! 

Doona Liki Trike. The Doona car seat was by far the best purchase I made with Jordan. Last year he got the trike and it’s awesome!
