Best Non-Toy Gift Guide for Kids. Gifts That Aren't Toys.

Looking for the best non-toy gift ideas for kids? Read on for over 250 amazing meaningful presents.

Have you ever heard a mom say “boy, the one thing my kids really need are more toys”?

Between the holidays, birthdays and other special occasions, the number of toys in one household can multiply exponentially overnight, and the problem only gets worse when more kids enter the picture.

Don’t get us wrong, we firmly believe that toys are integral for a child’s physical and mental development, and are an amazing way to spark their growing imaginations. But we’re often exploding at the seams with more than any child needs, and the toys often end up crammed into the back of a basement closet – forgotten and taking up space.

So for your next gift-giving occasion, why not give a gift that isn’t a toy, but rather an experience that will stay with them for a lifetime, an educational present that can expand their horizons, a fun practical item that can be used every day, a sentimental treasure with deeper meaning, or something (anything!) that isn’t a toy?

Between our 8 detailed guides we have over 250 (!) creative recommendations that are going to blow you away, and the majority of them include specific products that we have extensively tested, so you don’t have to do any additional searching or research. One click and you can check “get Suzy an awesome Christmas gift” (or birthday. or half-birthday. or national celebrate-just-’cause day) off your list.

Bookmark, print, and PIN this guide so it’s always handy when a gift-giving occasion arises!
