I shared the Gift Guide for Her over on Instagram but I love to share why I chose items for the guide and which items I have and can personally recommend. This is one of the easiest guides to curate because I'm all "what do I want?" ha. Like my other guides, this one is practical, but stylish and includes a lot of budget-friendly options! Here are my gift ideas for the women in your life (even if you're her), with notes!

Paint by Sticker Kids: Unicorns & Magic  |  Block Print Travel Pouch  |  LEGO Bluey: Bluey’s Family House  |  Sorel Children's Explorer lll Lace Boot  |  mibasies Kids Purse  |  Pegasus Weighted Plush Kids' Throw Pillow Pink  |  Hello Kitty Mini Kids Digital Camera & Video Camcorder  |  Ivy and Bean's Treasure Box: Beginning Chapter Books  |  Cute Animals: Coquette Inspired Bold and Easy Coloring Book  |  Jellycat Jolly Gingerbread Ruby Stuffed Toy (pay attention to dimensions) |  Washable Markers  |  Farmhouse Play Kitchen Toy for Kids w/ Chalkboard, Storage Shelves, 5 Accessories (51% off!)

Calling out the paint by sticker book which my kids loved and side note- is perfect for road trips. We missed the Bluey phase but you'd have to live under a rock to not notice its popularity. This could be a great gift to get your kids into Lego which we've always loved. If she's a little fashionista, the boots, purse, and pouch are the CUTEST. The pouch is a bit splurgy but that block print is to die for (comes in several patterns). A hobby gift is always on the list- love this little camera that's well reviewed. If you're into a "something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read" Christmas- Ivy and Bean is a great series to gift! The weighted plush is on my teens' lists. My kids love a plushie, still! Speaking of a plush, the Jellycat brand is doing something right- but check the dimensions. If you want something bigger, this one is cute! Dax's friend Charley had the cutest birthday wish list and I stole that cute coloring book from it. And lastly I'm always a sucker for an aesthetic play kitchen- this one is on serious sale and comes in a bunch of colors.

I love curating gifts for teens- it's a fun challenge to find the perfect gift for Mr. All-I-Want-Is-Cash. Listen, I'm all for giving them cash for Christmas, but I can't bring myself to skip gifts all together. Um, that's not fun! I don't have a teenage son yet, but I poll friends and I pay attention. All that to say you'll find some great ideas for your teenage boy. As for the girls, the ideas are endless. I always include beauty (I love that one of my girls is into makeup and the other into skincare), hobby (hello fancy camera), and cozy ($11 fleece pullover? Say less). While there are some "big" gifts on the list, I make sure to include mostly budget-friendly finds and be sure to check the notes for a lower cost version of a few items. Ok enough chatting, here's the 2025 Teen gift guides full of Christmas gift ideas for teen boys and teen girls, with notes.

I love gift guide season! I pride myself on choosing gifts that are fun, unique, realistic, and include a lot of budget-friendly/accessible gift ideas. Today's gift guide is for big kids and preteens. Of course, Dax is my muse. He is outdoorsy, loves gadgets, is creative, and loves gaming. He plays and loves hockey but I wouldn't say athletics is his first love; that said he's a very active guy so I've included some gifts in that vein too! Hope you find something your little guy (who's not so little anymore!) will love or a few things that spark an idea! So here's the Pretty Real Gift Guide for Big Boys and Preteens with notes plus I've starred the items that are under $30.
