Gifts for the Littles (What it’s really all about!)

Gift Ideas for your little ones

Perfect Presents for Every Personality

I am the lucky auntie to TEN younger nieces and nephews and adore the way the little kids love the magic of Christmas. Finding them just the right gift that lights up their faces….and doesn’t make their parents groan….is an art that I think I’ve mastered. I also polled a few family members for the latest and greatest ‘it’ toys and am rounding them up all here.

Sticker by number

My mom keeps these little workbooks around at all times to keep little hands busy and little minds inspired. It’s a wonderful stocking stuffer or small gift for kids under 12.

Spot it!

This game comes in so many themes - camping, princess, animals, you name it….kids and adults alike find this game addicting! When my son was younger we used to love to play this before bedtime.

Ride on Digger

I have a nephew who would 100% die (in delight!) if he got this for Christmas. It’s fun and interactive and can be played with inside. Suitable for kids under 4 years old.

Unicorn Diary

For your pre-schooler with big dreams, this little diary has everything to make sure those dreams become a reality.

Crystal Growing Dinosaurs

Your budding scientist will love how fun it is to grow their own crystals. And the little Dino figurines are fun to play with long after the crystals break off.

The BEST Toy EVER

Speaking from my own personal experience, these are the most fun, most interactive and have the most longevity. These provided my kids HOURS of entertainment….building hamster ‘courses’, turtle ‘sanctuaries’, tallest towers EVER, and more. If your budget allows, buy 2 sets.

Walter the Farting Dog

I WISH I had this book when my kids were little. I can only imagine the delight! And when is tooting not funny?

Jibbits for Crocs

These are essentially schoolyard currency. With this stash, they’ll be set until school lets out in June!

Rotate and Slide Puzzle

This is a hybrid of a fidget spinner and a Rubik’s Cube. Great for managing anxiety, car rides, or anytime you need to decompress. An awesome price point and a great stocking stuffer.

LED Light Strips

Not just for teens! Little kids will love creating a colourful oasis in their bedrooms. Who knows….maybe it will get your kids to stay in their room after you’ve put them to bed! LOL

Magic Foam Clay

Little artistic hands love to create with this satisfying foam clay….and you’ll be glad to know that it’s easy to clean up! It hardens as it dries so their masterpieces can be preserved!

Mini Sticks

This is the highlight of my son’s day - and not to brag, but I’m getting pretty good at mini sticks. Ask my son. I’m a bit of a beast.

Easy Bake Oven

I mean….how can I resist this? My daughters had one, I had one. How special to share the joy of baking with our kids.

Thermo Flask Water Bottle

Another awesome tumbler that is leakproof and perfect for toting to and from school and sports. It comes in great colours.

Sea Monkeys

This little aquarium will teach the littles all about the virtue of patience! After the anticipation of Christmas, let them continue to be amazed as they grow their own little magic monkeys.

Temporary Tattoos

These temporary tattoo stencils bring all the fun of the annual Fun Fair to your everyday. I don’t know a little one who doesn’t relish a fabulous little design that they can show off.

Fitbit Ace 3

My son LOVES to track his activity and this is a great entry-level watch that can help to encourage your budding athlete to keep track of their steps. It also helps YOU keep track of where they are!

MediTATE

I think this meditation stuffie for kids is brilliant. It has a built in bluetooth speaker and teaches the concept of mindfulness and how to meditate. Use code Lovestory10 to receive 10% off the stuffy and the subscription.
