50 Present Ideas For Everyone In Your Family
Hexbug Junkbots
I was impressed with the attention to detail in this toy. There are 50 pieces of “trash” inside the mini dumpster that you can use to create several Junkbots characters. You could get anything from a washing machine, an old TV, a discarded take-out box or an old boot. It’s really fun to see what’s inside each container.
Holy Land Market Olive Wood Ornaments
These ornaments are hand carved from Bethlehem. They come in a set of 12 and each ornament shows a piece of the Christmas story. These would make a lovely, heartfelt gift. I like giving these as a family gift with a plate of cookies or another treat.
Oven Bake Clay
This clay comes in a set of 24 different colors. My kids love oven bake clay and we have a tradition of making tiny ornaments Christmas Eve. Put some Christmas music on and my kids will happily sit at the table for hours making silly little things to hang on the Christmas tree! It’s easy to use and stays soft until you bake it. Just be careful what you leave it on before you bake it! If you leave it stuck to any hard plastics, it will melt the plastic.

Mini Mochi Squishy Toys
These are so cute and squishy! They make a great stocking stuffer or party favors. They come in a pack of 45 random shapes. We got everything from a loaf of bread to a little alien guy. My kids got a kick out of seeing what the next shape was gonna be and they traded among each other.
Natural Roots Variety Pack Sprouting Seeds
If you have any amount of aspiring gardener in your body, you’ll love this. All you need is a container and water! You can sprout your own micro-greens on the counter and it’s so easy! It only takes a few days and then you can add them to your sandwiches or make a salad. I love it! Makes me feel so healthy and capable.
HEELYS Men’s Pro 20 (Little Big Kid/Adult) Tennis Shoe
These are a great gift for that active person in your life. It takes a little time to get the hang of skating around on your heels but once you do, it’s like having fidget toys attached to your feet. These are the specific pair that we bought and I’ve found the shoes to be well made and the wheels to be really solid. The wheels can be completely popped out with a tool that comes with the shoes so they can just be normal shoes as well.
Seeking Persephone
This is my FAVORITE book right now. It’s a proper romance (so it’s appropriate) and it’s a play on Beauty and the Beast! There’s romance, heroism, excitement, humor. I loved it! It sent me on a rabbit hole reading a bunch more books in the series and it’s so worth it!

Hungry Hungry Hippos
My little kids love this game. It’s quick and exciting and easy to play. It’s just as fun as I remember from when I was little.
Candy Land
Another great, classic board game! I love this one because little kids can play a board game without having to know how to read words or even know all their numbers yet. It just deals with jumping to the next color on the card you draw. It’s colorful, fun, and easy to play!
Bath and Body Works IN THE STARS Shower Gel
I LOVE how this smells and the scent lasts for a long time after using it. Definitely worth it! It’s a limited edition scent so you gotta grab it before it’s gone! This would be a great gift for any ladies or girls in your life. This link takes you to Amazon but going to Bath and Bodyworks and picking out anything is usually a win.
KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender
Sometimes you have a bowl of something that needs to be blended and you don’t want to bother with the regular blender or it’s just way too much. This immersion blender is perfect for that. It comes in really handy. This is great for anyone who likes to cook or bake. It’s small but sturdy and well made. We use it for soups, puddings, and all kinds of things. My daughter just used it to blend up a cranberry curd for a tart on Thanksgiving. It works very well.

Light Up Cornhole Game Set
This is a fun game to play now that the weather is cooling off in Texas. We can actually go outside and enjoy the evening. You can even play it inside if you live somewhere snowy in the winter. It’s essentially just a bean bag game. I bought our set from Walmart but you can also find a similar set on Amazon.
T13 3D Printed Multi-Jointed Movable Action Figures
This comes in a set of 5 figures and the body parts are interchangeable between all of them. So you can mix and match all of the colors. There are many different sets you can purchase that all fit together which give you so many options for different color combinations. My boys have been playing with these for weeks. They like to do stop-motion animation videos with them because they hold their poses so well and are easy to move around. Easy to pull apart and put back together. Easily posable. Fun toy.
Here are a couple more sets that we purchased and they all fit together:
6 Packs(Assembly Completed) T13 Action Figure
Magnetic Feet Action Figure (Dummy 13 by Soozafone) Creative Ornaments

Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-7)
If you get the first one, you might as well get them all because your kid will be hooked and begging for the next one. If you haven’t read it, this series is worth the hype. I still enjoy them, even as an adult. Another one of my kids just started the series and she’s in for a treat!
Ranch Soprano Ukulele 21 inch
I would have died and gone to heaven if I had gotten this as a teenager. This is a great gift for anyone who is musical because it’s easy to learn and very portable. There aren’t as many strings as a guitar so it’s great for smaller hands and there are so many beginning ukulele tutorials on Youtube. We’ve collected several ukuleles over the years and I still like the sound on this one the best. It’s also a great instrument to pick up if you want to learn something casually.
Magnetic Tiles
Talk about hours of creative play! They’re beautiful and any brand I’ve bought has worked well together. The only problem is everyone wants to play with them and create giant structures so I keep having to buy more and more. Now we have a million! Which is so fun! Keep an eye out for deals on Amazon because they know they’re a favorite too!

Clue Hasbro Gaming Retro Series Clue 1986 Edition Board Game
We’ve been playing this one a lot as a family lately. It’s a fun classic and can be played with a wide range of ages. This retro set is the one we all grew up playing!
Graphics Drawing Tablet
This is a pad that connects to a computer. It doesn’t have a screen, it’s just a pad with buttons so you have to have a computer to connect it to. It comes with accessories and software to set everything up so you can create digital art work. Two of my teenagers love to draw and they each have their own. They love it and use them often.

Funny Abraham Lincoln T-shirt
I made this one up because I can’t post the picture of this specific T-shirt here, it’s probably something with the copyright. Funny T-shirts are always a good present. You know the humor of the person you’re buying it for and people like to laugh.

Eat the Weeds: A Forager’s Guide to Identifying and Harvesting 274 Wild Foods
**Always be cautious when eating things in the wild. Make sure to research whatever you’re thinking about eating** This book is by the Youtuber and blogger, Green Dean. It’s one of the sources we’ve found for learning about edible plants. . He also has a blog: https://www.eattheweeds.com/ and a youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@EatTheWeeds/featured
MOONTOY 577PCS STEM Robot Building Toys Set 25-in-1
This is great for anyone who loves to build with Legos because it’s off brand so it’s not as expensive and you can build a bunch of smaller things with the same set of building bricks. They also work with regular Legos so they can go into the Lego bin with everything else when you’re done building it.
ROKR 3D Wooden Puzzles Rubber Band Toy Tommy Gun-Model Kit
Another fun Christmas gift idea for someone who likes to build things. This shoots rubber bands and ejects little wooden “shells” as you shoot. It’s pricey but a fun display item and it actually works as a rubber band shooter.
Kids Camera Instant Print
This is a good camera for a kid because it’s pretty hardy and easy to use. The quality of the picture is not great, the picture they have on the listing is not accurate. But it prints right from the camera which is really fun for kids. I like that it just has a roll of paper it prints the photos on and you tear off the picture, like a receipt machine. There’s no messing with expensive film packets. Easy and simple. The controls are easy to navigate and my 7 year old had no trouble figuring it out right away. It also has silly filters and games on it.

Victrola Highland 4-in-1 Record Player
This is a fun present for anyone who loves vintage things or music. It has great sound quality and it’s also a radio. We love listening to old Christmas records on it during the holidays. Go on a date and dig through the dollar bins at your local record store. It’s so fun to see what’s out there and a really inexpensive date. It’s so fun and then you have music to dance to also!
Touch Screen Portable mp3 Player
This is an off brand MP3 player we’ve bought a few times for different kids. It connects to the radio too or you can listen to audiobooks. None of our kids have phones but they love music so this is great for them. Easy to use and upload music to it. Rechargeable and inexpensive for a music player.
Interactive Robot Fish Toys
These are so fun! The fish swim through the water by twitching the tail fin and it does it at different intervals so it’s more realistic. They don’t move until they get in the water so it really looks like they’re swimming. One of my kids is obsessed with fish and he plays with these for hours. Just remember to take them out of the water when your kids are done or they’ll keep swimming until the batteries run out.
Christmas gift ideas
The Chronicles of Narnia Box Set: Full-Color Collector’s Edition
A classic story series! This collectors edition has beautiful, vintage illustrations by the original illustrator and I love it!
The Enchanted Forest Chronicles
I loved this series as a kid! This link is a four books in one. I’ve been reading them to my kids and they love it too. It follows the Princess Cimorene who would rather be a Dragon’s princess than be a proper princess. There are dragons, wizards, princesses and cherries jubilee. These books are funny, full of quirky adventure and great for the whole family. Look for it at your local library if you can’t find it through the Amazon link anymore. The first book is called Dealing With Dragons.
Tales From The Loop by Simon Stalenhag
This coffee table book is a gift for the artist in your life. It’s filled with pictures of frozen landscapes juxtaposed with broken down, giant robotic structures. The author adds stories of his fictional childhood where all kinds of strange things happen. The overall mood is subdued and a little dark at times but really interesting. I’m gonna get the next book in the series if my son likes this one enough.
Flip Book Kit with Light Pad
This gift is a winner. Great for late elementary age kids, all the way to adults. Making flip books is so fun and you can either be really detailed and artsy about it or just draw stick figures. It’s so fun either way! Not only do you get the flip book kit, but also the light pad which is great for tracing for regular drawing practice.
Dog Man: The Supa Epic Collection (Dog Man #1-6 Box Set)
This is a great gift set for elementary age kids. These are funny graphic novels about the hero, Dogman – half dog, half man. It’s silly, entertaining, and full of adventures.
Tomons Non Toxic Nail Polish Kit for Kids
This was a great set for my 7 year old daughter last year. The nail polish is easy to put on and it just peels right back off your nail when you’re tired of it. It also includes so many different sticks and jewels for your nails. We came up with so many beautiful combinations. It was a lot of fun to play with together.
4PCS/Set Wooden Beech Measuring Spoons
This one could be a lovely stocking stuffer for the baker in your home. I find that I always need more measuring spoons because my kids carry them off to eat cereal outside. This is a pretty wooden set that’s very aesthetically pleasing.
Doctor Kit for Kids
This isn’t the exact kit we bought but doctor kits are a great gift little kids. They’ll even have fun using their kit to help their stuffed animals feel better. It’s adorable and makes them feel grown up while playing.
Ohuhu Alcohol Double Tipped Marker Set
A great Christmas gift idea for an aspiring artist. These are a nice off brand of markers so they’re not too expensive. They’re doubled sided and the colors are beautifully saturated. Great for doodling or getting serious about blending colors and making beautiful art. My teenager loves them and sits with my 5 year old to help him create art too.
Personal Portable USB LED Clock Fan
This one is like a magic trick. You plug it into the usb port of your computer and the fan blades turn to make the clock display. And it cools you down too. Super cool and fun gift for someone who likes gadgets or electronics.
24 Assorted Water Colors Travel Pocket Set
A water color paint set is perfect because you can forget about it for a while and all you have to do is add water to use it again. Kids go through phases about what they most interested in and this paint set will wait until they come back around to it again. No worrying about paint tubes drying out and wasting materials. And there are so many water color tutorials to follow on youtube. This set also comes with a refillable water brush. It easily fits in a pocket of your back pack or purse. It’s a lot of fun!
Adjustable Dumbbell Set
These are a great Christmas gifts idea because the set comes with several sizes of weights to attach to the bars. Much easier to store than having a full rack of dumbbells. When boys hit teenagerhood they’re interested in having muscles so this is a great gift for them.
Crochet Kit Beginners Crochet Starter Kit
Crocheting is a great take-with-you craft. It’s not too difficult to learn but there are so many things you can do. It’s fun, relaxing, and creative. Even if you don’t get this kit, go grab some cheap yarn, a hook and watch some youtube tutorials.
Pretend Play Makeup Set
Not quite as fun as the real thing but WAY less messy! This is great Christmas gift idea for creative play and so cute to watch them put on their makeup!
Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians (Alcatraz, No. 1)
This one’s a fun series for your late elementary or middle school aged kids. It’s filled with quirky humor and crazy adventure. And there’s a whole series already written. My kids loved them!
Large Jewelry Box For Women
One of my kids is obsessed with containers and boxes that have a lot of compartments and places to organize things. We bought a similar one to this link and it was a big hit!
Fablehaven Complete Set (Boxed Set)
You’ve probably heard of this series and this one is worth the hype. I read it as an adult and found it to be very well written. The books are exciting, well-crafted stories. I’m a big fan and so are my kids.
Werktough 3.6/4V Electric Screwdriver Cordless – You might think that you don’t need an electric screwdriver if you already have a drill but we have used this thing so much since we got it a few years ago. Definitely a great gift for the handyman who has everything already.
Mistborn Trilogy Boxed Set
A great Christmas gift idea for a grown up reader. There’s a lot of gritty fighting in this series so not for a young reader. High school and above. These are exciting books with an interesting magical system. There’s adventure, heroism, struggles, triumphs and losses. Great characters and character arcs. There’s a rabbit hole of Brandon Sanderson books you could go down after this series too. It’s always fun to find a new author and have a new bunch of enjoyable books to read. Great author. Great books.
Mancala Real Wood Folding Set
A great game for a wide range of players. It’s easy to understand the rules so younger kids can play but the older you are, the more strategy you can employ. We loved this game so much growing up that we had several sets. I still have a set from when I was a kid that has plastic jewel animals!
Armani Beauty – Acqua di Giò Cologne for Men
This is a great Christmas gift idea for a husband, dad, uncle, older brother, or teenage son. It’s pretty pricey but it lasts for years and years- especially if your guy doesn’t wear cologne very often. My husband has used this scent since before we met and I LOVE it! I’ve only had to re-buy it for him once and we’ve been married for almost 20 years. Worth it!
Even if you don’t buy this specific scent, go to the mall and spend some time picking out a scent for either the guy or gal in your life. Get a couple of perfume sample strips, go back to shopping for a while, then smell them again to see which ones you really like. It’s a great, personalized gift. Putting on a special scent someone picked for you makes you feel extra fancy and cared for. And you know someone really likes how you smell 🙂

DIY Ukulele Kit
I already mentioned getting a ukulele above but this is a kit to make your own! This is great for someone who likes projects to put together. Or, if you like to make presents, this is a fun way to put time and effort into a gift. We usually try to make at least one present for each of our kids each year and we’ve made three ukuleles so far. They go together easily and it’s fun to paint designs on them. They’re not the highest quality and you do have to tune them more often than the professional ukuleles but they still sound good and are very playable. Good beginner instruments.
Boynton’s Greatest Hits The Big Blue Box
This author has great board books! They are a favorites of ours. They’re cute, little, funny and quick to read. Great for bedtime.

Giant Boa Constrictor Stuffed Animal Soft Snake
Stuffed animals are always a good idea kids. Giant stuffed animals are an even better idea because they can use them like pillows. They encourage creative play and they don’t hurt very much if they hit each other with them. win win.
