2023 Holiday Gift Guide for the Kids

2023 Holiday Gift Guide for the Kids November 02, 2023 at 10:20AM Sharing my 2023 holiday gift guide for the kids this year! We tend to stick to the purchasing strategy of: “ Something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read.”  Hi friends! Happy Thursday! How’s the week treating ya? I’m on the ups from the flu and had to cancel my Palm Springs trip. Both of the girls are sick, too, so it’s been a pretty horrible week. For now, let’s talk about happy things –  like retail therapy. I’m really excited for today’s gift guide because kiddos really bring the magic to Christmastime. I’m basically like Buddy the Elf and thought that nothing could possibly make the season more enjoyable… and then we had kids. They just magnify all of the magic of the holidays. We’re getting our holiday shopping done early, so I wanted to put some ideas out there if you’re doing the same thing. When we holiday shop for the kiddos, we keep things on the simpler side. They get their Santa gifts and stocking stuffers, and then from us, we stick to the “something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read.” This checks all of the main boxes and keeps things from getting too bananas with gifts from my parents and their 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.] Today, I’m sharing some of the things on their personal wish lists, along with tried and true favorites. I’d love to hear your kids’ gift requests in the comments and any ideas you have! I’ll also be sharing my first ever tween gift guide this year, too. 2023 Holiday Gift Guide for the Kids Something they want: – Karaoke system – Mini Polaroid – Horse earrings – American Girl doll.
