Gift Ideas For Kids By Age Ranges

Before I had kids, I never knew what to get kids for Christmas and Birthdays. I never knew what would be too “old” or too “young” or just not cool at all. I lived by the age range on the package. But as my own kids get older, I am realizing that those age ranges leave a lot to be desired. They’re not always accurate and it’s so confusing.

If you’re a parent or relative to young children, then you’ve got birthdays to attend. For me, it’s almost every weekend these days! Finding the appropriate gift can be time-consuming, and a bit stressful- whether it’s coming directly from you or from your child to their pal.

Never fear! I created a gift guide so you can focus on enjoying time with loved ones (and getting on with your day!) rather than hemming and hawing at all of the options. Hopefully the age ranges here can help you figure out what gifts would be most appropriate!
