The Ultimate List of 50 Clutter-Free Gift Ideas For Kids

The Ultimate List of 50 Clutter-Free Gift Ideas for Kids

Giving just the right gifts to kids is an art form that has taken me years to develop. I remember as a young Mom, I often focused the most on finding great deals on toys and grabbing as many as I could to fill the room on Christmas morning.

And then I remember the feeling on the day after Christmas when the toys and all their pieces were still filling the room and I began to ask myself if I had just spent a lot of time and money buying gifts that just added another layer of clutter to our home.

Since then, I have changed my focus when it comes to gift giving. I no longer buy a gift just because it’s a great deal. If my child won’t enjoy it, wear it or read it for hours, then it won’t find its way under the tree.

We also love to give experiential gifts. I consider giving my child an event, membership or subscription like the gift that keeps on giving. As an added bonus, I can find my living room floor on the day after Christmas!
