We’re sharing the things we’re giving our kids for Christmas this year if you’re looking for ideas!
Hello friends! How are you doing? I hope you’re having an amazing week so far! It went pretty well here. Liv came home with the sniffles, but P had a great week at school and I’ve been working on blog content here for the new year! The fun starts with our 2026 health planning course. Join us here if you haven’t already!
For today’s post I wanted to share what we are giving the kids this year for Christmas if you are looking for ideas.
Here’s also a list of this year’s gift guides!
Christmas Gifts, Hostess Gifts, and Favorite Gifts Under $50
Everything is linked on my ShopMy for easy access and this page has a roundup of some of my top picks as well.
A friendly little note here that everyone’s purchasing strategy/budget is different. This may seem incredibly high to some people and low to others. Some people go absolutely WILD for Christmas (and good for them! haha) while others stick to a budget. It truly is about your unique family and budget! And it is also worth mentioning here that Christmas is about much more than gifts. (The gift aspect is my least favorite part of the holidays. I just want to be with family, eat delicious food, and sing “Happy Birthday” to baby Jesus.)
I’m posting a photo of our most giant Christmas tree of 2021 just in case they glance at the blog on my phone. I don’t want them to see a picture of what they’re getting 😉 Plus, I’m so glad we finally got rid of that 90s style fan.
What we actually give our children for Christmas
For kids, we stick to “something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read” + gifts and stockings from Santa.
Here’s a list of what they actually got this year:
Liv:
I want: tickets to the Katesye concert (me, Liv + one of her best friends) – the concert was last week and she LOVED it
Need: More Apple storage. She is completely absent.
To carry: A balloon animal necklace
Read: A k-pop book
Santa Claus: Janiero’s sunset, glow stick for one of his favorite K-pop groups
Christmas gifts: K-pop photo cards and albums, lip gloss, candy, travel-size favorite beauty products
P:
To want: An electric bike. She’s wanted one forever and she’s very good on her regular bike
Need: New basketball shoes – one of the last things on my list that I still need to get
To carry: LA sweatshirt (the girl loves tracksuits)
Read: Diary of a Deflated Child books
Santa Claus: New Ronaldo jersey, hover over a soccer ball
Stocking stuffers: NBA trading cards, slime, LED maskcandy, positive basketball affirmations
So tell me, friends: what are you giving the children in your family this year? Something small/random that they ended up liking? Last year we got P a hoverboard and it ended up being a HUGE success. Both girls rode it all over the house last year.
