Christmas is FAST approaching. I can hear the music, sleigh bells ring, are you listening? playing in my head right now. I’d like to specify I’m NOT listening to Christmas music yet. It’s only November and for some reason holiday music doesn’t seem right until after Thanksgiving.
Unless you’re a major store.
In that case you’re already playing Christmas music and providing a jolly-good time for those who choose to get the shopping done early.
Now, the rest of us normal people who don’t get into the Christmas spirit until after Thanksgiving, need gift guide ideas like this post.
Sometimes we wait until the last minute to shop. We count on 2-day shipping (thank you Amazon Prime) and someone else telling us all the awesome features of a product/service that we didn’t have time to look up.
And I say, there’s nothing wrong with that… 🙂
Let’s get to the gift ideas! And a big thank you to the companies I researched (I looked for BEST things to add to this guide) who sent me products and took time to respond to my questions!
BEST GIFTS FOR KIDS
- nuSpin Kids 8 oz Sip & Spin Straw Cup nuSpin Kids developed a line of straw cups to make hydration healthy, easy, and fun for kids. nuSpin Kids advocates the use of valve-free silicone straws for their benefits to dental health, speech development, hygiene, and food safety. They use premium materials and manufacturing processes to ensure that our products are free from lead, BPA, phthalates, PVC, and nitrosamines.
- SomniLight Amber Book Light This warm book light uses specially designed amber LEDs to produce a warm color-temperature light, similar to candlelight. The amber book lights emit only long wavelength light (peaking at 592 nM), free from the blue wavelengths that can disrupt sleep. Studies suggest that the use of amber light can result in 90 minutes of increased melatonin production and up to an hour more sleep per night! They also have a sleep lamp you need to check out if you are in the market for a nightstand lamp or desktop lamp. **one of the gifts I am planning to give my 2 older kids. They love reading and these lights will be perfect to encourage reading right before bed. I think they’d also be great for people who travel a lot! Use my code: LMLB at checkout to save 10%
- Groovy Lab in a Box With Groovy Lab in a Box, you will receive boxes full of everything you need to learn about and do hands on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) experiments for ages 8+ * I just know my son will LOVE this– keep an eye out for our review.

Always love some great gift ideas! I almost have my shopping sorted for Christmas if you would believe!
I refuse to do any Christmas decorating or music or anything until after Thanksgiving! Anyways, these are some wonderful ideas for gifts. My boys are a little young for most of those, but I remember having a cool book light like that. Now I just have my kindle that has a built-in light.
I still say the best gift for anyone for the holidays is money 🙂
Love the gift giving ideas. The Spruce Pine candle is definitely something I would love to have. I love the smell of PINE!
I really appreciate these gift ideas! I love that you categorized it according to age! It’s definitely easier to look for gifts this way.
That’s pretty awesome! It’s not always easy to look for gifts for friends and family. This post definitely helps!

I would love the candle subscription! Not so much the manicure set, even though I love to have my nails done and by myself most of the time, just because it is something I already do for myself. The kids’ presents are adorable!
This is awesome ideas, I will probably give my friend one these gifts and i’m sure he will love it when he get it.
it seems like every year I start hearing Christmas music earlier and earlier! I hate to admit I love it! Thanks for sharing your gift ideas!
I love the science in a box and the journal for children with prompts. I feel like with so many tech devices kids need opportunities to do hands on things like science and writing in a journal
great collection! the amber book lights and the candles look awesome!
These are such great gift ideas for the holidays! I love the Vellabox idea
