Make sure to enter the giveaway below!

Since you clicked on this post, I assume you’re sick of it too. You’re tired of buying your kids toys that they play with for a week (tops) before disappearing into the ever growing toy box in their room. I definitively feel your pain! That’s why this Christmas we are doing things a little different around our house.

This list of non-toy gifts for kids is the result of my search for more meaningful Christmas gifts for my daughter. I scoured the internet to find the best non-toy gifts that our kids will actually use and enjoy! Doesn’t that sound nice?

Creative Non-Toy Gifts for Kids

Craft kits are a great way to get kids to focus on a project and unleash their creative side! There are so many awesome craft kits on Amazon – below is just a few, highly-rated favorites. There are kits for almost anything your child would like to create.

Take a look at these:

Personalized Non-Toy Gifts for Kids

Your kids will be ecstatic when they rip off the wrapping paper and see their own name on a book or puzzle! Frecklebox specializes in personalized gifts for kids, and they have some pretty neat stuff! Below is just a few of the cool, personalized gifts they offer.


Experience Gifts for Kids

Experience gifts are some of the best gifts in my opinion. You can always get more stuff, but you can’t always spend more time with the people you love. Here are a few ideas if you’re considering giving an experience gift to your kids.

Memberships

Whether it’s for the science center, children’s museum, or other fun place, a yearly membership makes a great non-toy gift for kids. It’s something the whole family can enjoy all year long!

Family Vacations or a Camping Trip

Purchase a new sleeping bag or something special for a family vacation to wrap up and place under the tree. When your child opens their gift, you can surprise them with a super fun family trip too! My family loves to go camping – it’s a cheap way to get out of town and have fun together!

Special Day With Mom or Dad

Make a gift certificate for your child entitling them to a special day out with mom or dad. You can include a list of fun things your child can choose to do on their special day as well.

Tickets to a Show

Get tickets to a live performance you know your child will love like Disney on Ice or a music concert.

    OMGosh, I’ve got a 4.5 year old special little girl in my life, a 1.5 year old niece and 5 year old nephew. The 4.5 y.o. loves Disney, and I think she would go bananas for the Snow White costume.
    This would be awesome! Thank you for the chance!

    My daughter would LOVE the “Little Pet Clinic” toy set! She loves Dc Mc Stuffins and wants to be a vet when she grows up. My husband doesn’t like major branded toys though and always tries to buy wood toys, he thinks they’re timeless and likes the idea of our grandchildren playing with them someday. This definitely checks all his boxes!
