Like most parents this time of year, I’m sometimes at a loss for gift ideas (that is if they haven’t given me a 5 page list of crazy requests), so I have to start doing research before it’s too late. This year, my oldest daughter has produced said list for me but with my youngest, it’s a little harder. She often has one or two ideas but not usually anything she’s “dying” for and that’s probably a good thing!

Actually, in the last couple of years, we’ve dialed back a lot of the gift-giving and tried to be more intentional about what we give and how much is given so that the focus isn’t solely on gifts. The other idea is to cut back on how much we spend because as we all know, it can blow your mind when you realize how much you’re out of pocket when it’s all said and done.

With all that in mind, I’ve curated a list of items that I’ve researched this year and that I think have broad appeal (and something for every age group), while also keeping things reasonable. No matter your budget, I think you can probably find a couple of things here to make your kiddos smile. Even better, most of these items are on sale right now with big discounts! Happy hunting!
