Holiday Gift Guide for Toddlers

I usually don’t get into the Holiday spirit until after Thanksgiving, but now that I have a kid and soon a house big enough to store decorations, I’ve been chomping at the bit to get started. And since we’re still packing to move, I’ve put a lot of my holiday energy in creating Ellis’ wishlist—so I thought I’d share along with some other cool ideas! And early since a lot of these ideas will be on sale on Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

Disclosure—these gift ideas are predominately for kids between the ages of 12 months and 2 years. I also tried to stay as gender-neutral as possible (however, some products listed do have gender specific options for you!).

Toys

**KidKraft Artisan Island Play Kitchen**

**Little Tikes Spiralin' Seas Water Table**

**Melissa & Doug See & Spell Learning Toy**

Books

**Tell Me Something Happy Before I Go to Sleep**

**Disney Christmas Storybook Collection**

Experience Gifts

We try to include non-item gifts on our wishlists because we don’t want our daughter (or any future kids) to depend on stuff being “gift-worthy,” nor do we want too much stuff filling our house every year. Plus, these type of gifts we can all enjoy together to create memories!

Children’s Museum membership
Tickets to local amusement park
Movie theatre gift card (more for 2yo+)
Zoo membership
Aquarium membership
Kids music classes (or local “mommy and me” classes)
Waterpark passes (indoor ones too!)
Swim lessons
Pott’s N’ Paints/Color Me Mine gift certificate (more for 2yo+)

I plan to add more to the list as I continue to build out Ellis’ wishlist (and while shopping around for my younger nieces and nephews). I also plan to share a really fun stocking stuffer idea post that will be for the whole family—my family’s big on the stockings so I will be continuing that tradition with my husband and kids and I already have some ideas brewing! Get excited, friends!

Again, save this post and keep checking back for updates!
