I love shopping for the kids in my life. I have two nephews that live up North with my youngest sister, my niece here in Charleston, and my bf’s two boys out in LA. Today’s edit includes some of my personal favorite gifts I’ve given, and a few I’d like to give!
The best gifts for kids 2024.
Beginner Bike
How darling is this sweet little bike!? I love the retro vibes and it comes in so many cute colors. It’s really really cute and would make a great gift.
a digital camera
There are so many great digital cameras for kids on the market but I am convinced that this one is the best-looking one. Love!
balance beam
This balance beam is such a fun idea for the budding gymnast (or just for playing games at home).
kid-sized suitcase
This kid-sized suitcase is just darling, I love it so much! It’s meant for kids between 2-6 and also doubles as a special place for them to store their toys and treasures in the bedroom. I love that it includes a built-in elastic band to attach a stuffie.
playdough
OK, how pretty is this organic play dough!? I love the colors and the beautiful cases.
Jeweled Gloves
Super Smalls has the coolest stuff! These jeweled gloves are amazing and probably a great incentive to get the kiddo in your life to remember to put on their winter garb.
Play Shoes
A couple months ago, my niece asked me if I could buy her some “plastic high heels.” I immediately raised an eyebrow and asked my sister if this gift idea was sanctioned. Turns out, my niece had been at a friend’s house and played with Super Smalls’ Daydream Queen play shoes and had become absolutely smitten. If I’m being honest, I’m smitten too and would love a pair in my own size. These are just so fun!
a Card game
I loved playing Memory as a kid and this set is super fun. Funny story – I have a Pucci memory set at home (bought it last year… it’s on sale now), and when I play with my niece, she absolutely destroys me. Kids memories are so good!!!
velvet mary janes
These velvet mary janes are just perfect! The velvet fabric, the crystal buckle… such a pretty shoe. My niece loves hers and likes to style them with her unicorn socks.
a puzzle
Piecework makes such fun puzzles; this 100-piece puzzle is happy and fun!
chapter books
My friend Chassity recommended these Ivy & Bean books, and they were a HIT! My niece has devoured them; my sister just bought more.
a plush animal
This glow-in-the-dark unicorn was a hit at my niece’s birthday. Right now the 5/6 year old set is all about unicorns, pink, and purple… this checks all the boxes!
