So that you have them all in one place here are the 2024 gift guides: Gift ideas for him, Gift ideas for her, Gift ideas for boys, Gift ideas for tween girls, Gift ideas for teen boys, gift ideas for teen girls, Gift ideas for little boys, Gift ideas for little girls, Gift ideas for families, and a bonus stocking stuffer gift guide! I spend a lot of time curating these and really hope you find them helpful! I also pride myself on choosing fun but practical gifts that fit a variety of budgets. Here goes:
I love a good family gift- sometimes distance makes it hard to shop for individual family members but a good gift everyone can enjoy is a fun way to still get into the gift giving spirit but make it easier (and sometimes lower costs). Here are a few things we have and would recommend or would love to have. ;) If you're interested in this post, you may also want to check out the 2023 Gift Guide for Families!
Big Blanket Co Original Blanket in Stretch Forest. $179. My sister gifted us one of these 10' x 10' blankets and it is so fun to be able to all cuddle under a massive throw. It's also incredibly soft (they say it's the yoga pants of blankets) and has a good weight to it. Highly recommend!
Mini Projector with wifi and Bluetooth. $109 (there's a $20 off coupon at the time of this writing!). We love our outdoor movies and our projector (linked last year) but I love that this one is more portable. Let the family outdoor movie nights begin!
Questions for Humans: Parents and Kids Conversation Cards. $13. Ditch the phone at the table and in the car, and talk to humans instead! We love a good conversation starter- they always lead to memory sharing, funny anecdotes and genuine connection! This would also make a great stocking stuffer!
Escape Room Gift Card (this printable is $3.58). This was on our list. Escape rooms are so fun but surprisingly (to me, anyway) expensive. I love the thought of gifting a fun experience vs. more stuff to manage. You'll need to find an escape room in your area but this cute printable might make a better presentation that the establishment.
Deep Roots Family Devotional. $12.34. I love gifting a something to read and something that encourages spiritual growth? Even better! This family devotional has amazing reviews. We don't have it but it's on the list!
My not-so-little guy always informs these guides. His love of gaming, reading, and technology are second to none! I could've added so much more here but stopped at some of my fave finds. Prices start at just $9!
Official Andymation DIY Flip Book Starter Kit $36.00. Dax loves this and I love that there's not a screen involved. Ha. If you have a creative kid, he'll love this!
light up keyboard and mouse $31.00. Our new computer came with a light up keyboard and you know what else lit up? Dax. ha. He loves it!
black Crocs $44.99. These are still a thing. Dax lives in his.
blue video game creator $85.00. How cool is this?! If your kid likes to code, this will be a fun way to encourage that hobby.
gray bed tent $114.99 This may be too niche but does anyone else's kid LOVE to be covered? Dax makes anything and everything a nook. I love that this one is a masculine alternative to a canopy.
human-shaped magnets $9.00 Dax and most of his buddies have these- Nadia even bummed a few off of him. They're so fun and they keep them on their lockers!
Diary of an 8-Bit Warrior book set $25.00. I love that this set combines gaming with reading- in fact if you have a gamer who's not a big reader, it may be just what he needs!
Air Up water bottle $35.00 Hear me out. This seems dumb. But Dax loves it and swears the flavor pods make the water taste different- it's really just tricking your senses. Plus most water bottle crazes are geared toward girls. This one's for the boys. ;) (not really- it's for anyone and it comes in stainless steel and also pink but you get my drift).
magnetic dart game $22.99. When I get back to designing the playroom this may make an appearance. I love that you don't need floorspace for it.

This is one of my favorite guides! Pre-teen girls are so fun and still at the age when a lot of what they want is cute and affordable so you can really fill those carts. ;) This guide includes the usual suspects- hello Lululemon and Kendra Scott- but also some fun finds like this Taylor Swift Eras tour makeup bag. Prices start at just $7.98. Check out this year's gift guide for tween girls (and my most viral gift guide- this past one for preteen girls).
I had so much fun researching and brainstorming these gift ideas for men and gift ideas for women. Whether he's on a health journey or into mixed drinks and whether she's into design or a traveler, there's something for everyone. Prices start at just $8 and these ideas can definitely be mixed and matched (male or female- don't we all find Oura rings fascinating?!).
