It’s officially the Holiday season, and many of us are looking for gift ideas to add to the kids’ Christmas Lists, either for ourselves or for family & friends. It can be challenging however to stick to a wooden and/or open-ended toy philosophy when all our kids see (and ask for) are the toys at Target or in the Amazon Christmas catalog.
The good news is that there are so many amazing smaller shops out there that we can support this holiday season; and I hope that by highlighting some of the toys that my kids are asking for or currently loving, it will give you ideas for your own children. So let’s check ’em out, shall we?
*Oh and don’t forget to scroll to the end for coupon codes to some of these shops!*
TODDLERS (1-3 yrs)
KIDS (4-8 yrs)
So.many.good.options!
Remember, a lot of smaller shops need time to make/prep your gifts, so make sure to order earlier than you normally would. Think Nugget gift 2019- They were sold out by the time Black Friday rolled around and demand hasn’t let up since. Not to mention, shipping in 2020 is a bit of a dumpster fire and is only predicted to get worse leading up to Christmas.
*And don’t forget to come back next week, when I drop some awesome Stocking Stuffer Ideas!*
