Best Christmas Gifts for Kids {2020}

It’s November, and that means we are all doing a little Christmas shopping right now. There’s the people that start their holiday shopping in July and then there’s me, who is just starting to think of ideas, but will most likely wait till December to click ‘checkout’. I have my 30 Best Christmas Gifts for Kids 2020, including 10 for little boys, 10 for little girls and then a final 10 for kids of all ages. Many of these are tried & true here in our home, and others are on our list for this year!

My Top Picks for Little Boys

#1 – Toyvelt Construction Take Apart Trucks

My son received this toy for his birthday, and he is obsessed. All the pieces come apart with real functioning tools. So impressed with this toy. It’s a no brainer for this holiday!

#2 – Little Tikes Trampoline

Let’s face it, unfortunately Covid is still here and most likely not going anywhere. The days are gone where we pack our kids into an indoor gym with loads of other children to help them expend some energy. Might be the year to bring this gem home!

#3 – The Piggie & Gerald Book Series

I have 3 kids, my youngest who just turned 3. All 3 of my kids (and me included) absolutely love these books. There’s no question that over the years of reading books with them, these are my #1. They are a quick easy read, and oh so funny!

#4 – Do-A-Dot Art

My son loves to paint, BUT it’s short lived. And there’s nothing I dislike more than spending 15 min setting up a paint station, and he’s done 3 min later. These paint markers are so quick to whip out and clean up. They are my favorites!

#5 – Lego Duplo Number Train

This is a great lego starter set for toddlers, especially boys who are into trains and trucks and things that move. And bonus, they start to learn and recognize their numbers!

#6 – Snap N’ Glow Trax Set

This was a birthday present we recently received, and my son is really attached to this gift. The tracks are flexible, glow in the dark and the cars are battery operated and drive around the track. He just loves watching them. I loved this gift so much, that I just bought it for my nephew!

#7 – Mattel Matchbox Garbage Truck

Little boys across America go running to their front door at the sounds of the garbage truck arriving. This truck is a huge hit! It makes sounds, opens in the back, and you can empty garbage from the can into the truck. This is what little boys’ dreams are made of!

#8 – Step 2 Up & Down Roller Coaster

We first played with this at a friend’s house and then bought one for ourselves. My little one gets so much joy from this sweet little ride. It can be used inside or outside and also comes apart easily if you don’t want to keep it assembled.

#9 – KidKraft Everyday Heros Play set

Such a cute set for all our kids who look up to our firemen and policemen. I love the vehicles included and so many sweet details in the rooms. This is on our list for this holiday season!

#10 – Best Choice Ride On Jeep

And last but not least, a ride on car is such a fun gift and can be a big surprise for Christmas morning. This one comes with a parent remote, and is a great bang for your buck. Imagine their face when they see this – pure joy!

My Top Picks for Little Girls

#1 My Generation Styling Head

For all the little girls who love to brush hair and accessorize, this is the sweetest toy and allows them to display their motherly instincts. They also have Disney princesses and other My Generation doll choices.

#2 Princess Castle Play Tent w/ Star Lights

What an adorable addition to a play room this would be! Any sort of tent in our house is always a big hit. I think it’s this generation’s version of a fort, ha! Add the twinkling lights, and it makes it that much more fun!

#3 Wooden Pottery Barn Kids Grocery Cart

What kids don’t love to throw groceries in the shopping cart? Such a cute wooden version to wheel around the house and play house!

#4 FAO Schwarz Tea Party Set

Tea parties are a staple in childhood! Let their imagination run wild with this sweet set. She can set up for a party with friends or even her teddy bears.

#5 Unicorn Cookie Baking Set

For all the unicorn obsessed little girls across America! Includes this precious apron, cookie cutters, icing bags, rolling pin and a recipe book. Perfect for an afternoon of baking!

#6 Personalized Wooden Name Puzzle w/ Pegs

I love these name puzzles and it’s a great way to introduce a child’s name to them. This is one of my favorite gifts for little kids.

#7 Melissa & Doug Nina Ballerina Magnetic Dress Up

Perfect for your tiny dancer! My daughter loved these and had so much fun dressing her up time after time. Comes with 6 outfits and encourages creativity and imagination!

#8 Frozen 2 Snowflake Waffle Maker

The best breakfast for your Frozen obsessed little one. They will love their snowflake waffle as they sing along to their favorite songs.

#9 Ladybug Girl Books

We absolutely loved Ladybug girl books in our house! There’s multiple books in the series to choose from, and I know your little lady will love love them too!

#10 Melissa & Doug Magnetic Tabletop Art Easel

This easel is so convenient and multi-functional. It is both a dry erase board and chalkboard. It includes a roll of paper and 36 letter and number magnets. This is a great indoor activity!

My Top Picks for Kids of All Ages

#1 Hanging Pod Chair

These are the best! Kids love them, they don’t take up a lot of space, and it’s great little spot for kids to have a peaceful comforting place to spend their time. It’s offered in multiple colors, easy to install and can be used for indoor or outdoor use.

#2 My Weather Station Toy Set

This sweet wooden set is such a unique gift and a great way to teach kids about the weather each day!

#3 Pottery Barn Kids Anywhere Chair

My son loves his Anywhere Chair! He lounges in it, reads books or just plays with toys. There’s so many choices of fabrics to choose from as well.

#4 Giant Outdoor Connect 4 Set

This is always such a big hit when we visit outdoor venues that have this game. It’s fun for all ages!

# 5 9-Herb Window Garden Kit

A fun and easy way to teach kids about gardening, teaching patience, and then enjoying the fruits of your labor. And bonus – you’ll have fresh herbs for cooking!

#6 Laser Tag Set by ArmoGear

A great gift idea to keep your kids active and off the screens. They will have a blast! My kids have always loved laser tag, and I know a lot of these indoor activity centers are closed for Covid. Bring the fun to your own backyard!

#7 Fujifilm Instax Mini Polaroid Camera

A mini polaroid camera for your photo loving, selfie obsessed child! These are so fun to play with, and I love the convenient mini size. This is one of my daughter’s favorites!

#8 Macrame Hammock Chair

We got this for my daughter last Christmas, and it’s still a favorite in our house. Everyone in the family loves sitting & swinging in it. Weight limit is up to 330 lbs!

#9 Hands Free Mini Drone

Does your child want a drone, but they aren’t quite old enough for the real thing?? This is a great starter drone for both kids and adults. Can be used indoor or outdoor, and will provide hours of fun and giggles!

#10 LED Photo Clip String Lights w/ Remote

Nothing screams teen more than fairy lights and photos! It’s a perfect gift that complements the Polaroid mini I linked above. Your child will love the new vibe in their room!
