After teen girls, gift ideas for families is my favorite gift guide! Nothing makes me happier than fun family time, bonding, experiences, and just being together (I've become my mom and I'm ok with it. ha) so the ideas here will contribute to those experiences! And if you get cash from your parents for Christmas and want to keep it out of the everyday budget (that's no fun!) this can serve as a thought starter for you. ;) Check out our 2025 Gift Ideas for Families!

NOTES

We have the chess set- love that it's magnetic, making it easy to come back to later. 

You can't go wrong with a throw blanket (and this one)- but make it nicer than one they might pick up while grocery shopping. 

Cute sleds feel like a great gift for a family who might usually choose function over form OR for a fmily who appreciates a stylish take on a an everyday item.

I love easy table topic type games. The trivia set and the dinner game are easy and don't feel like a big commitment. I ordered the 12 games of Christmas- can't wait to use it!

Two things I'm working up the ability to splurge on (you know we're frugal!)- the digital calendar (skylight is one I see a lot of too) and a beautiful speaker that looks good on a shelf!

PS- I also linked a couple of things we've purchased with cash gifts- the blender (it's lasted for over 10 years!), and the coffee maker (it makes such GOOD coffee), for example.
