Let’s be honest. When it comes to buying a gift for a kid’s birthday party (or for my own kids), I usually make a quick trip to Target. The typical gifts we shop for include: Legos and monster trucks, water balloons and games.
For all you moms like me that run out to Target last minute…cheers! We make it work.
However, if you ever get the itch to look into something different, here are some unique birthday and holiday gift ideas.
Art Box: A great gift for all the artists in your life. This comes with a carrying case full of all the art supplies that kids will need to make beautiful creations. My kids still use this box three years later.
Cooking Class: Young Chefs Academy (Gahnana) offers weekly classes and workshops and provides an environment to learn and thrive. Give your loved one a gift card and sign up for an individual class. My son loved a class where he learned how to bake cupcakes and treats and continued to bake at home.
Create Your Own Comic Book: This is a fun gift that promotes kids to use their imagination while using those critical fine motor skills!
Personalized Kid and Teacher Gifts: LL Custom Designs
- Sports Arm Sleeves: Have a sports kid in your family? Get their name customized for this thoughtful gift.
- Personalized Teacher Gifts: Show your teacher you care by personalizing items such as a clipboard or classroom décor.
- Personalized Journals: Your loved ones will love a journal with their name on it where they can write about their dreams, book ideas, and anything they can think of!
Personalized Game Picnic Blanket: Personalization Mall has awesome choices for games and gifts for kids. This awesome picnic blanket is perfect to take along and keep the kids busy with four games. Your family last name can be added.
Personalized Puzzles: This is a fun idea for kids to improve memory and visual-spatial reasoning while incorporating their name.
Seeds of Caring: Seeds of Caring engages young children through a variety of service projects and meaningful conversations. Work with fellow parents and sign up for a Seeds of Caring project. Look on the website and have kids pick out an event that they are passionate about and organize that event.
Subscription Box: Choose from sensory ideas, science (STEM) monthly subscriptions, best developmental toy box for babies and toddlers, and book subscription boxes. Your loved one will look forward to this special experience all year long!
Tickets To an Event: My kids’ love language is definitely quality time. See an event that is coming to town and buy tickets. Some ideas: baseball game, plays, superhero events, Monster Trucks. Great ideas for Christmas too!
We hope you found a couple unique ideas when thinking of something different for your own kid or a friend’s kid. What are your favorite gifts to purchase?
