It’s sometimes a challenge to come up with unique gifts for kids at this time of year when you’re constantly busy and have to sift through pages of toys, stocking stuffers and all the latest tech gadgets!
Fortunately I’ve come up with a list of toys and gifts that I think will be popular with younger boys and girls. My children are teens now but I know they would have loved many of these gifts when they were younger, and some of them we own and are still used in our house. Some are obviously suitable for girls or boys, but many are would make great gifts for both!
Some of these products were provided to me by the manufacturers, all opinions are mine. This post contains affiliate links
