So many of you ask what I am getting my kids for Christmas. In the past I have shown Hauls on my youtube channel but with my kids getting older I have to bury it here on my blog where they, or their friends won’t read! So today I am sharing things that are either on my kids lists this year, or they have gotten in the past and LOVE and still use.

Gift giving can be so hard sometimes. I love looking to gift guides to see what others are getting their kids for Christmas so I thought I would share as well.

For Our 10 Year Old BOY…
Legos — My oldest is into big elaborate sets. All three of my kids play Legos, and it’s actually something they all play with together. It’s always a great gift especially for kids who you aren’t sure what they already have, because a duplicate isn’t a huge deal.
Fit Bit — A larger gift, I would save this for kids age 10+. My son got one for his birthday and LOVES it. It is also a way to teach responsibility for electronics.
Amazon Fire For Kids — I know, I know…. I rave about these ALL THE TIME, but I can’t help it. They are that awesome! Perfect for kids of all ages, super durable, and have a great warranty.
Gaming System Accessories — We don’t go buy the latest and greatest gaming system every time one comes out. We make our kids take care of the ones they have (our Wii is like 7 years old) and buy accessories when needed. They best thing we have ever purchased is the charging dock for the controllers.
Baseball Cards — My oldest son looks forward to this every year, he asks for a big box of cards, and enjoys hours of opening them and going through the cards.
For Our 8 Year Old GIRL…
Shopkins — Our girl is a huge fan of Shopkins. This year I have found an airplane which I think she will really like. I love when my kids are into collecting a series of toys, it makes it so easy.
Instax Camera — This was on the top of my daughters list. When the girl cuts out a picture and takes it to Santa, you don’t mess around.
Art Supply Set — This is a great repeat gift form year to year. Art sets are reasonably priced, sized and something our kids use a ton. My husband almost always finds them on Black Friday for a great deal, so they end up under the tree.
Barbies — Last year we went big and got our daughter the dream house. To make sure it get used and loved for years to come, I try to add more fun elements from time to time. This year we went with vet barbie.
Books — No matter the age or gender, books are ALWAYS a great gift idea! If you want more book recommendations check out my BOYS BOOKS, GIRLS BOOKS, and PRESCHOOLER BOOKS videos.
Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage — This was the big ticket item my son asked Santa for. This years model is quite pricing, and I am still not sure how much it will get played with, so I found last years model, and my son will never know the difference, but I definitely see it in the price.
Educational Toys — These Picasso Tiles are so fun! JD has a set at school, and every kids loves them. I am excited to add a set at home.
Lego Juniors — Especially for younger brothers that think they have outgrown their LEGO DUPLOS to be like his big brother, these are a great step. My kids are all into the Lego Ninjago Sets, my daughter also loves the Lego Friends sets, and their snow resort line is ADORABLE!
Thomas and Friends — While my oldest son couldn’t have enough tracks and trains, my youngest isn’t really into it. But it is such a great gift and collection to have for your kids. This particular set is on a HUGE SALE! (at least at the time of posting!)
Lastly, if you aren’t already signed up for Prime Discounted Monthly Offering“>AMAZON Prime, what are you waiting for?!?!?! It was a game changer for me in my holiday shopping!
I hope you found this helpful, and be sure to stick around, later this week I am going to share perfect gifts for nieces and nephews, board games kids love and more!
Hey Sam. My 7 yr old son still plays with his Hotwheels Garage from last christmas, the smaller cheaper version DAILY. Good call on getting the earlier model!
