If you’re looking for inspiration for non-toy gifts for kids, I have you covered with this extensive list!

My Fave Non-Toy Gifts
I think some of the best gift ideas for children are the ones that are personalised – such as jewellery or even a personalised journal for the next year.
Toys can also be super expensive so this list includes some cheap gifts for kids that would also work as stocking fillers.
I hope my list of non toy gifts for toddlers and kids has inspired you!

SO many great ideas here. I can’t wait to go to the zoo with our little boy when he’s a bit bigger! We read so many animal books, it will be fun to see them in real life.
I’ve had a lot of fun compiling his Christmas list and assigning gifts to various relatives – fortunately they’re all pretty easy-going (at least in that regard) and were happy to take direction. I think as he gets older I’m definitely keen to do special outing type gifts.
