Holiday gift guides are live! Below are tons of ideas for kids and adults of all ages!

Keep in mind that none of the items in my gift guide are sponsored. I’ve bought or been gifted by friends/family everything on this list – these are all things we genuinely love and play regularly! Affiliate links are included for items I have purchased from Amazon; feel free to shop around for the best deal.

I hope you find this gift guide helpful! It’s not meant to be perfect, especially since my kids’ ages are probably different than what you’re buying, but it includes many fun ideas for all ages.

Children/Youth

Gratitude Journal: when you think Camryn wrote in this gratitude journal every day for almost six months, I had to share. Each day has reminders to be grateful for all the senses; it’s a great way to focus on the positive in our lives. We love this magazine!

Responsibilities: these bonds are incredibly popular right now with my teenage sons, especially my son who serves in the church ministry in the Philippines. His favorite ties…so much so that I put two more in his Christmas package (shipped three months early!) – his, and one he took with him.

The Complete Science Kit: Talk about a boys (and probably many girls) dream science kit! It’s so badass…and it’s brilliant…and it’s really amazing.

Oofos Ooahh Slides: my boys love the slides! Comfortable. They wear them during their games to and from practice.

Inflatable Lounger: All this is annoying my youth and their friends right now. They’re perfect for the home, but they also go well with sporting events, movie nights and more.

Mobile Phone Charger: the perfect stocking stuffer!

Fujifilm Instax Camera: I wondered if these cameras were overrated, but Cam got one for Christmas last year as his main gift, and he’s still using it! He is very frugal in his use of film 😉 but he brings this to every family trip. It was a lot of fun. There is a more adult version of this camera, too.

How to Survive a Book: It’s a really smart and useful book, this book is readable and perfect for kids who want to.

A Book of Difficult Riddles: this book is perfect for anyone of any age who loves riddles. They are challenging but fun!

Glide Detangler Brush: I can’t say enough good things about this brush. Cam uses it every day and it’s amazing for long, easy-to-tangle hair. It would make a perfect stock!

Lego Succulents: these creative sets of Lego plants are our new Lego products. It’s fun to put together and so pretty, it can be left out as a decoration!

Suitcase Portable Record Player: one of my sons is into vinyl records, and this portable record player was the best for him to start with. It has bluetooth speakers and the sound quality is very good. Tons of great reviews!

Yodeling Pickle: because is there anything better than pickled cucumbers? A great stocking stuffer (or white elephant gift!)! It’s incredibly loud. 😂

Shape Shifting Cube: my kids are obsessed with these, and we have given them many more! It’s amazing what situations you can do with them (and even more when you combine two!).

Electric drum set: this drum is very popular with all in our family. It was a gift from Cam, who really wants to learn drums. Very small feet, and provide hours of drumming fun (I asked for earplugs).

Plastic Bat and Wiffle Ball Set: It’s amazing how many hours of fun my kids have had playing classic wiffle ball in the yard with this set. HOURS.

Puffy Sticker Books: my kids are too old (or say 😜) for these sticker books, but they are my go-to gift for family and friends with young children. I also heard that they provide hours of entertainment for their little ones. The reviews on this are great!

Fill in the Black Ball: such a smart spin on the ball, and it’s perfect for the time of year when the days are short, because this ball can be used in the evening.

Gel Nail Lamp: this nail lamp gets a lot of use in our house as Cam has loved painting her nails for years…along with her friends! It’s amazing how fast gel nail polish dries with this stuff.

Floor seats: these are the most amazing and comfortable chairs! My sister introduced herself to me, and I’m slowly fixing up our bonus room with them. They come in a variety of colors!

He + She

Soft t-shirt for men: This is by no means a blowout recommendation, but for the active guy in your life, these bamboo t-shirts are incredibly soft and comfortable. My little old boys love them!

Watercolor Notecards: these beautiful cards have become my go-to gift for friends this year. I keep a set on hand for myself, and they are perfect if a handwritten note is needed.

Slim Wallet/Money Clip: my boys hate purses. This one has been a hit with them! It’s functional and classy.

Survival Bag Tool: the perfect stocking stuffer! I have given this to almost every guy in my life over the past few years.

Multi-tool pen: another fun (and effective) stocking stuffer!

Powerful Bluetooth speaker: we carry several bluetooth speakers ranging in size, price and quality, and this is the best of the best!

Tote Bag: I have a bunch of these tote bags…and they make great gifts! They are lightweight, waterproof, and very durable. Not to mention…he’s really, really cute! They come in many different patterns.

Rocking Camp Chair: we fight for this seat whenever we take it anywhere. It has the perfect rockability factor (yes, that’s a technical term). It sits a little lower than a classic camp chair. It’s the best rocking camp chair!

Overnight Lip Mask: this thing is AMAZING. It rehydrates the lips overnight without being too sticky or sticky. It would make a perfect stock!

JCrew Factory Bow Earrings: I love these simple, classy, ​​adorable earrings! They’re a JCrew Factory find, and I think they’re almost sold out, but they’re too cute to pass up. I wear them all the time!

Stove Solo: we bought the stove alone earlier this year from Scheels (lots of options there!), and we love it! My kids use it regularly with their friends at night. It produces a good amount of heat, and is perfect for roasting marshmallows.

Cell Phone Stand With Speaker: this is perfect if you need to set your phone down to work (outdoors, indoors, anywhere) and want the speaker to project music or a podcast or whatever you’re listening to.

Rechargeable Magnetic Light: these powerful little lights are perfect if you need a handy light to help with any project. And they are rechargeable!

Mike’s Hot Honey: because hot honey is SO GOOD, and this brand is different. This will make a fun stocking stuffer for the foodie in your life. Hot honey is wonderful drizzled over pizza, grilled or fried chicken, and many other things.

Rockdove Slippers For Women: incredibly comfortable, these slippers are the best! There is also a men’s version here.

Women’s Half Zip Sweatshirt: this sweater is so cute! It’s cropped very slightly (not too much!) making it perfect for crying AND going out and looking *mostly* put together! 😉 Excellent quality. Comes in many colors too!
