Gift ideas for 1 year olds and 3 year olds? We have everything we need and family is asking what our kiddos want and I can’t think of anything. I usually just say donations to a charity for us, but don’t want to take away the “joy” of Christmas from the kids so any of your kid/age-appropriate recs are appreciated! We also have tons of books ❤️.

Zoo or aquarium membership or special experience at one of them (ie feeding the penguins or dolphins,) movie passes, clothes/shoes for 1-2 seasons in the future, art/craft supplies that will need replacing and replenishing

Thank you! ❤️

Experiences? I’m looking at a membership to the local discovery kids place as one of their things this year.

Thank you! ❤️

Agree with the experiences… but also, if you’re looking for something tangible for them to open, books are always welcome in my house. So is anything we can use for pretend play - little people sets, any musical instruments, anything we can build (magnatiles, LEGO duplo sets), art supplies (crayons, dot markers, coloring books).

Sorry, one more thought… my almost 3 YO LOVES the Young, Wild and Friedman sensory kits as well… so much fun, lots of exploratory and pretend play.

Several of our relatives would give us family memberships each year to the zoo, aquarium or museums. They would give the kids something little each year that was related (stuffed animal, stickers, etc) so there was something to unwrap

Experiences are great, but at that age don't get it as well as older kids.

However, I find 3 to 5 gifts is more than enough and then they get bored of opening them anyway. For our one year-old, clearly not our first kid, we re-wrapped a bunch of old toys that the kids hadn't seen in a while. Huge hit.

Yoto mini player and cards, we will always take more cards as gifts. My three year olds absolutely love the music ones, they have classical, Disney, etc.

Books and/or things that are consumed like art supplies.

Experience gifts for a big gift for sure.

In the $150 and above range you may also consider a nuggets or a Pickler triangle and related accessories.

Under $150 the micro scooter is a good one that gets a few years use.

Thank you! We bought a nugget off of FBM and the kids love it!

Agree with everyone else experiences, art supplies, and building toys. And of course I have to add a Tonie box. What I love about Tonie, Magnatiles, Legos, etc. is that you can always add more. They keep coming out with new sets so adding to it gives an “old” toy new life.

We love Ditty Bird books - a hit with both 1 and 3 year olds. Affordable gifts that don’t take up space FTW!

like

A subscription box. We get Kiwi Crates and love them. They have a 1 yo box (wooden toys mostly), and a 3 yo box (projects) and then you can level up as your kids get older. If you don’t want more toys then I’d say not to get it for your younger kid. But the projects for the 3 year olds are great!

This was def the thing we were missing. What about the bee sneakers?

Something I loved as a kid that my parents did was have people give to something like WorldVision where they can donate a cow or a pig or a chicken and rooster to a family in need. It makes it more tangible and outside the norm for charity giving.

like

Lessons for the older one (swim, soccer, art). Perhaps clothes and shoes in the next couple sizes up. And consumables like project boxes (Kiwico) or snacks. I also love adding to our Tonies collection. Babylist has birthday and holiday gift list functionality so I keep that up to date for my own shopping list and share it if anyone asks. I usually add the toy version of whatever adult thing my kiddo is obsessed with (vacuum, pizza oven etc) in hopes that they’ll leave it alone haha.

like

Toy kitchen and doll house (whether you have girls or boys). Both allow for lots of reciprocal play.
