These are my favorite gifts that i’ve purchased for the kids over the years. I thought i’d make a list to save you some time finding a few of your favorites too!

Bonus: they’re all technology free! I hope your kiddos love them as much as mine have.

Trampoline: all kids need a trampoline IMO. It keeps them moving, is good for their lymphatic system and tires them out. We’ve been through a few but this one is a my favorite. I love the safety sides and zip up that give me piece of mind in knowing their safe.

Bicycle: a well made bike that both of my boys love and use almost daily

Telescope 🔭: we love grabbing this end at the end of the month for viewing the full moon.

Ride on Scooter: the kids ride this around endlessly. I was unsure of if they would use it but it quickly became one of their favorite ride ons.

Radio Flyer ride on: this toy is a must for all kiddos. I cannot tell you how many times this has been ridden on. We got it for the boys when Gideon was only 2 and now Gracie is riding on it. I’m planning on keeping it for the grandbabies.

Polar Express: it’s the first thing my boys get out for Christmas and they play with it endlessly around the tree the whole month. It feels so nostalgic to me.

Segway: throw the idea of hoverboard out the window. THIS is a million times better. I can promise you. I purchased this during a black friday sale 4 years ago and it has been my best purchase for the kiddos to date. They ride it all the time. They love it, their friends love it, and i can promise that your kiddos will love it too. You can purchase the go kart attachment for it as well which i highly suggest. 10/10 for both!

Ninebot GoKart Attachment: this is the one gift that Zackery and i always say “well, we surely got our money’s worth out of that…” I was able to snag this 4 years ago along with the Segway at 50% off and it’s been my best purchase to date for the kids. It’s a little pricey but I can promise that your kids will play with this more than they will any plastic toy you throw out with in a few weeks. This will stick around for a decade or more.

Kids Conversation Cards Starter: i purchased these for the boys a few years back and it’s been so fun listening to what they have to say.

Ice Cream 🍦 set: I love all of the wooden toy food sets from Melissa and Doug. The kids keep coming back to them and they’re well made.
