60+ Awesome Experience Gifts your Kids will Remember- Ideas for All Ages!

 

Whether it is for a  birthday, Christmas or another event, you need to give your kids a gift. However, what do you give kids who have everything?

And what about non-toy gift ideas? Do you have an overload of toys in your house, and yet still, the kids are saying they have nothing to do?

When looking at gifts for birthdays and holidays, it is not just about giving them more stuff, but rather, gifting things they need as well.

I love gifts that will make an impact in their day-to-day lives. Here are some awesome ideas they will absolutely LOVE and so will you:

1) Tickets to an event. A broadway show, ballet, concert, magic show etc. One of my favorite memories was going to see the broadway musical, 42nd Street!

2) Make them a photo album of memories from the year. Use an album where it has room for you to write and share why you loved that moment. An album like this one would work!

3) A personalized book.  This is always going to be a favorite of mine because kids light up with these! Who doesn’t like a book with their name in it. And they can be given for special occasions or anytime in the year.

4) Subscription boxes are great because they are a gift that just keeps giving. One that we like is a subscription to Little PassPorts. This is a great little box that comes every month & introduces kids to new places in the world or to new science experiments!

5) Children’s Theater Season Passes

6) Outdoor Supplies- If you are an outdoorsy family, giving kids their own fishing tackle box or gardening tools can be a big deal.

7) A child’s playroom is not complete without a fun hideaway to call their own. A Tee Pee or Tent. A place where they can curl up with a book, giggle with friends, and hide from siblings. Check out the fun selection of TeePees at Crate&Kids.
