Has there been a generational shift that we’ve not been aware of? Does it seem like kids have way too many toys, whereas it felt like we had fewer? Or did we have just as many but weren’t aware of it? Either way, if you’re running out of space for toys, some gifts can delight your kids just as much.
Get crafty with it
There are many different types of play, and ensuring your child can get their fill of each can lead to a much more fulfilling early life. To that end, you might want to look at sets for the various arts and crafts that they can get into, whether they’re painting sets, pottery sets, baking and cooking sets, or otherwise. Getting your kids into arts and crafts can unlock a creative side of them ready to flourish as they grow.
Fun and interesting subscription boxes for kids with too many toys
What’s better than giving your kid a gift just once? Giving them a gift that keeps on coming is the best! That’s precisely what some of these subscription box gifts can offer – a monthly treat to look forward to each time the delivery date comes around. There are many craft examples, of course, but there are subscription kits for all kinds of gifts. You can choose kids about science, books, selfies, baking, and more. You’re sure to be able to find the subscription box that fits your child’s interest.
Candy with a difference
Kids love candy, but filling their stockings with candy found in the store five minutes away isn’t very exciting. What is exciting, however, is allowing them to try out things they’ve never had before. Importing rare and otherwise unavailable candy, like taking the time to buy Canadian chocolate bars, is going to be a much more exciting experience. Just be careful, you might end up finding them some new favorites that they’re going to keep asking for.
An experience they will love
While it’s a good idea to get your kid something tangible so they have something to be excited about opening and holding onto throughout the day, not every gift has to be an object. Experience gifts aren’t just for adults, and you can use them as an opportunity to spend time having fun with your kids. Varying your setting is exciting, whether it’s a trip to the theme park, a water park, or even passes to some of their favorite places, such as aquariums, zoos, or museums.
Recap: Gift Ideas for Those With Too Many Toys
Of course, it’s also worth considering a toy or two for a kid’s Christmas or birthday haul. New and exciting will win out, but the gifts above can ensure you have other ideas in stock, too.
