Do you often get stuck on what to buy children for gifts? Whether it be for a birthday, Christmas, or another special occasion, trying to select a gift for a child often makes my head spin. It usually involves standing in front of a toy aisle at my local Target trying to figure out which toy the child likely doesn’t already have that still fits in my set budget. Truth be told though, I can’t think of a single child who needs more toys. Sometimes I even feel guilty sending my child off to a birthday party with a toy as a gift. I know the gift will be tossed aside moments after it is unwrapped, making it nothing more than a mere contribution to the overwhelming amounts of stuff that every kid seems to have these days.
So, where to begin with a more thoughtful gift? I’ve compiled some of my favorite ideas from one of my favorite companies to share–ideas that will ignite children’s imaginations and engage their minds and that won’t be tossed aside as junk!
