24 Ways to Gift Your Adorable Kids Who Already Have Everything

By Patrick Varone Updated: January 3, 2021

Cool Gifts For Kids 2021 - Boys & Girls Christmas Gift Ideas For Children 2021

We may earn commission from the links on this page, but we still only recommend products we love. Yes, really.

Whether you’re gifting your favorite little pal something for a special birthday, the upcoming Christmas holiday, or just a special event, it can be nearly impossible to figure out what you should gift them!  If you’re looking for some ideas that aren’t just a list of the latest toys, we’ve come up with a nice mix for your kids that consist of fun ideas that are totally unique, perfect for boys or girls (why label?), will hopefully get them off their electronics (although there are some cool tech options), and get their minds working (yep, even some learning options).

While this is such a different year, more kids are at home and we’re all on a new budget because, well, just in case.  Recent research shows that, on average, most people are spending up to $30 on a gift if you’re heading out to a birthday party (and it’s not your son or daughter).  If you’re the parent, the average spend recently averages around $100.  If we’re talking Christmas basically throw that entire average out the window.

But, look, don’t stress about the amount.  Just find something you think they’ll love.  Let’s be honest, they’re not even going to remember what you got them 6-months 3-months from now.

Overall most of these presents have age-ranges from 3 years old to about 9 years old.  If you’re looking for ideas for ages 10+, check out our tween to teen gift guide here!

We’ve rounded up some truly unique gifts for girls and boys they’ll actually love as much as you enjoy gifting them.  Shop some of our favorite gifts for kids (so far) in 2021.
