This gift guide is designed for children ages 6-10. By this age, children should be old enough to understand a balance of gifts you can unwrap and gifts you can’t (like an experience or a ticket to something happening in the future.)

The preschool age (3-6) is where non-toys will start to get tricky. At this stage, children will understand the holidays and the fact that their peers may be receiving toys. So at this level, the trick is to make sure there are enough presents to physically unwrap while also making them fun.

(P.S. I also have a non-toy gift guide for babies, a non-toy gift guide for toddlers, a non-toy gift guide for elementary aged kids, and a non-toy gift guide for families.)

This gift guide is designed for toddlers aged 1-3 years. By this age, they are learning to walk and talk. They are also working on independence. Where the baby gift guide was almost designed more for the parents who are caring for the babies, this guide is focused on toddlers who will enjoy opening gifts during the holiday season.
