If you’re anything like me, toys are taking over your home. Having three kids in different stages, plus having the boy and girl mixture, our playroom is exploding. From Little People, to Legos, to baby dolls, and more…there are toys everywhere! It’s hard to get rid of them when SO many of them are truly still played with by at least one of my kids. So when Christmas comes around, I don’t even want to think about fitting any more toys downstairs. Coming up with a non-toy Christmas list is a great option for those over flowing playrooms. There are so many incredible options for Christmas that are non-toy and can give a lasting experience all year long.
If you are looking for some non-toy Christmas gift ideas that can give your child lasting experiences, than this gift guide is just for you.
1. Bookroo
We have asked for Bookroo as a Christmas gift every year since we first discovered this amazing subscription company for kids. Bookroo is a monthly subscription for your kids that helps them fall in love with reading by combining the excitement of opening a gift with the discovery of a new, treasured book. Bookroo offers subscriptions for every age with options for board books, picture books, and chapter books. Each box comes with individually wrapped books which makes receiving the box extra special. You can grab a subscription of your own for 15% off with code YOUAREMOREGIFT, but hurry, code expires on December 31st!
2. KiwiCo
We recently had the opportunity to try out Kiwi Co and I cannot talk about it enough! KiwiCo creates hands-on projects for kids that make learning STEAM fun! The projects are designed for kids ages 0-16+ so there is something for everyone on your Christmas list. Everything you need to complete the project can be found in the specific crate delivered right to your doorstep. You can check out KiwiCo in action on my Instagram here, or go ahead and give it a try with a free month (just pay 4.95 in shipping) here!
Little Passports creates award-winning subscriptions for kids that inspire them to learn about the world. You can choose to explore world themes or choose a different country each week. The boxes are delivered right to your door with everything you need! It’s educational and an experience for you with your children, you can’t lose that way!
4. Raddish Kids
Love too cook, want to teach your kids to cook? I have been eyeing this and it looks like so much fun!
5. The Magic House Children’s Museum (Local Memberships)
6. STL Zoo Membership (Local Memberships)
7. STL Science Center (Local Memberships)
These last three are local options in Saint Louis, but I am sure all you need to find some local ideas is a quick Google search. Most cities have inflatable parks, indoor playgrounds, and indoor trampoline parks. We are lucky enough to have so many options. We have indoor play areas and other options, but these last three items are always on our must have list. It’s a great way to make lasting memories and give us an excuse for a fun family day!
