unique gifts for kids

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.

It can be a challenge to find unique gifts for girls and boys. I am always on the hunt for unique gift ideas, so when Babbleboxx offered to send over this fun round up of products to test out, I was more than happy to say yes!

I love gifts that will help families spend more quality time together and things kids need or use. But obviously we throw in some toys, too. But I really loved the balance of this round up since it’s not all toys.

Silly Skaters Unicorn Inflatable Ride-On Toy by Kid Trax

Ages 1-3 years / Max Weight of 44lbs

This ride-on Unicorn by Silly Skaters is a hit in our house! The kids love the light up wheels. It was super easy to blow up using the air pump that came with it. The rubber material is really soft and durable.

You can save $5 on a Silly Skater with code “Babble5” now through 12/14/2020.

Grab-n-Go Conversation Cards from Open the Joy

Ages 4 and up

These cards make the perfect stocking stuffer. Blaire is almost seven years old and they were one of her favorite things in the box. The “Let’s Talk About Our Feelings” cards really got us talking about some things we haven’t discussed before. Each card had an open-ended question on the back with more “deep dive” questions on the back of the card. One of her favorite things to talk about were the differences in what we did for fun as kids. She shared what she likes to do, then Jason and I shared what we liked to do and then shared what our parents liked to do as kids. The thought of a black and white TV (with no remote!) blew her mind. Blaire also has the “Let’s Joke” cards. She has always loved to tell jokes, so these are perfect for her.

Use code MERRY for a free Unicorn plush with orders over $40 at openthejoy.com. They have a 100% money back guarantee – if you’re unhappy with the cards, simply return them for a full refund.

Baby Alive Tinycorns

Ages 3 and up

Baby Alive has been a staple in our house for the past few years. Blaire and Ben both love playing with them and now Sloane loves dragging this Tinycorn through the house. Blaire loves her hooded dress with a unicorn horn and wants a matching one. Haha!

Soaps and Hand Cleansing Spray from Beloved Bath

My kids are just like their mama… they love bath products. These soaps are not only adorable, but they’re vegan and Phthlate free. Beloved Bath is a candle, soap, and bath product company founded by moms who wanted to create a joyous, purposeful work environment for their sons and others who have autism. I love shopping with companies that give back!

Pictured here are their building block soap, heart soap, glitter lips and elephant soap.

Will You Be My Friend? Book

By Sam McBratney; Illustrated by Anita Jeram

Will You Be My Friend is the sequel to one of our favorite books of all time, Guess How Much I Love You. It has the same warm, playful and lyrical tone as the first and is one we’re happily going to add to our “must have” list for new mama gifts. It’s a story of a young child’s growing independence, making it the perfect children’s friendship book.

Play On! Adventure – The Ice Cream Factory Fiasco

This is a really unique gift idea from the Bay Area Children’s Theatre. It is a subscription series, but you can also purchase individual kits. We have the “Adventure” kit designed for children 5-10 years old. It’s a choose your own adventure experience that kids can do on their own. You just download the soundtrack for the game and off they go! It had Blaire (andBen!) jumping, crawling, and spinning around. It was a fun thing for them to do on their own that didn’t involve watching a screen.
