70+ Non-Toy Gift Ideas for Christmas in 2022
If you have found yourself wanting to steer away from toys this year then you have come to the right place! I have over 30 ideas for you. I love something that falls into the category of consumable, wearable, experience etc… because it will actually get used and will not just get forgotten about or thrown in a bin (or on the floor).
Now, I do think that there are some toys that are DEFINITELY worth while. So check out my other gift guides if you’re looking for something on the more traditional toy route. There I have tried and true items that have lasted and been hits with all 3 of my kids.
My Non-Toy Christmas Gift Ideas 2022
To start my list I’ll mention the things that I can’t really link to – the things like memberships (think the zoo, museum, aquarium, play place nearby), activities/classes (music, soccer, gymnastics etc…), or a simple gift card to somewhere they love like the ice cream parlor.
You could also go the route of clothing – a new dress, sweater, pair of pants, etc… If you choose the pajama route I suggest you treat yourself to Little Sleepies – they are our absolute favorite pajamas (Go ahead and treat yourself to some too while you’re at it – I apologize in advance for any obsessions that come about from this post).
Hair supplies as well as arts & craft type items are also always great! Outside of those things, check out the below.
Mini Backpack – kids looove to carry things around and pack their own pack with their special items. It can be great for travel too
Kinetic Sand – Or other Sensory bin items
Transferring Practice Pitchers
Guitar & Lessons (or another instrument that they may be interested in)
Tracing Light Pad & Tracing Paper
Gymnastics Leotard – or an accessory for whatever activity/sport they are into
Hair Coloring Chalk (This is NOT just for girls!! My nephew loves using these!)
