2024 Gift Guide: Fun Ideas For Kids and New Parents

Ashley loves this stylish box of self-care for new and expecting moms. It comes with nine thoughtful items including the softest socks, a healing mushroom cacao elixir, and a hydrating lip butter—all packed up in one beautiful box.

If you’re looking for beautiful, developmentally appropriate toys, look no further than the Lovevery collection. From discovery sets to books, these heirloom pieces are research-backed and sustainable, crafted from recycled and non-toxic materials, and guaranteed to provide endless fun through all stages of childhood development.

Play couches are a great way to keep young children entertained for hours on end. If you are looking for a non-toxic option, we love the Figgy! Not only are the covers waterproof and machine washable, but the cushions are made with CertiPur-US certified foam. Plus, every element is lab-tested by a third party to guarantee its safety. Bonus: it comes in 11 different fabric and color options to blend into any home.

Any new parent will tell you that one of the most helpful gifts they can receive is food—whether that is freezer-friendly homemade casseroles, gift cards for meal deliveries, or a subscription service to lessen the mental load of having to figure out what to make and when. We like Mosaic Foods for its plant-based frozen meal offerings. Mosaic has a six-item minimum, but its a la carte pricing model is ideal for customization on a budget.

Books are always a good idea, but if you’re willing to go the extra mile, Librio offers a selection of personalized books so your child can be the main character! You can customize names, appearances, and even languages. Super cute stuff.

Created for girls ages 5 to 12, Kazoo magazine is an award-winning quarterly magazine filled with puzzles, crafts, interesting facts, comics and more. Plus, in a world where children are constantly getting pushed towards consumerism, it has the added benefit of being ad-free!

Looking for some good, non-toxic stocking stuffers? Can’t go wrong with this play dough. It’s made with natural coloring and scents, plus it comes in a cute ice cream container for A+ presentation.

If you’re shopping for the littlest fashion plates, don’t sleep on Sofia Grainge’s new clothing collection for babies and toddlers. These classic silhouettes are offered in muted colors, sweet prints, and quality materials like 100% cotton.

This four-pack of finger paints is food-safe, non-GMO, and made with organic fruit and vegetable extract. Better yet, it comes as a powder so you can ensure minimal spills and—since it won’t dry out—keep it around for longer.

Stapelstein’s durable “stones” are a great gift for early childhood development. They can be stacked, tossed, sat or climbed on, and plenty more – offering up a world of open play that fosters action and imagination.
