This is for the little ladies! My youngest, Claire, has been blessed to have her two older siblings toys and hand-me-downs...so it can be more of a challenge to find things for her that we don't have. I love to collect and purchase open ended toys that lead to imaginative play and aren't one and done items, too. So, let's dive into some gift ideas that are sure to please without becoming clutter!
We focus on 1-2 gifts within in the category of WANT, NEED, WEAR, READ from my husband and I! This helps us keep focused and mix in some needed or educational items too. Then, Santa brings 2-3 gifts from our kids WANT/wish list, plus a handful of stocking stuffers (I make sure these are extensions of gifts or useful items, staying away from junky clutter). There is always a few group gifts like replenishing art supplies or a family game, too!
I'll share a couple favorites from each category below. You can find links to each items on the gift idea guide below. Click on arrows to see all, and click on each item to view!
WANT
Ice Cream Toy: This is a favorite in our house already. So fun to play ice cream shop, restaurant or tea party. A well used toy for the whole family!
Tonie Player: Another favorite and well used and loved item. This is portable and each little figure plays music and tells the story. Claire loves to have to have this on in her room. Bonus, the highest volume is still pretty soft!
NEED
Back Pack: Time for this big girl to get a back pack of her own! I love these and the option to personalize with the name.
WEAR
Crocs: These are my kids most used and worn shoes! Make it extra fun by pairing it with the charms that can be used to decorate them or something for summer fun.
Underwear: A perfect time to stock up on underwear, jammies, socks or seasonal clothes!
READ
ABC Learning Game This looked like a fun, interactive way to learn and practice letters and words!
Muddle + Match Book: Muddle + Match books are so fun - and keep little listeners highly engaged. Claire loves this one!
Hope this helps you with an idea or two! Happy Shopping!
