Adding for teen girls -- Roller Rabbit PJs (splurge but amazing) and smile slippers (Amazon).

Although it's a pricier item, a Nugget Play Couch has been the most used gift my son has. We got the Nugget three years ago, when he was 2, and we've used it for fort building, a pretend duck blind, tumbling, napping, and so much more. Covers wash great as well!

Gotta go with the crocs and Nike socks. 😂 This year I am gifting my nieces and nephews advent calendars. I send them at the end of November so they can have them for December. They all get so many gifts Christmas Day...this way they can enjoy it all through the month!

My go to baby gifts are Kyte pajamas - everyone I have gifted them to comment on how soft they are!

Love these lists - teen boys are so hard!

When my son was 4, we purchased a Nugget cough and he still loves it! I think it’s a great gift even for a little bit younger, and definitely as they grow! It’s fun to build different configurations and play/sit on!

Toniebox for little kids! It’s a great screen-free alternative for stories/songs. Plus the tonie’s make great gifts for Easter baskets, stockings, family members to give for birthdays, etc!

Portable tire inflator for big kids. Mine laughed last year when I put them under the tree but we have used them! 😊 I also think the simplified page markers are great stocking stuffers.

This is a great list Emily! Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I'll be buying some of these for my grankids.

Just added disco ball lights to my cart...My husband and I were both music majors, so we gave all of our little nieces and nephews musical instrument sets when they were babies/toddlers. Very similar to this one at Target:

They LOVED them, and they were nice and loud and obnoxious for their parents (our siblings), so it was a total win! 😂

What a fun list :) a server’s notepad, personalized apron, and pack of pens would be great for a big kid!

So many great gift ideas! You can’t go wrong with monogramming something for a teen girl, whether it be a robe, towel, or sweatshirt. Marley Lilly is my go to for monograms!

Love this gift guide as there are such great suggestions! I’d have to add a favorite gift for tween/teen girls is the Winky Lux Glimmer balm that changes based on the person’s ph. As for big kid gifts, my daughter loves her oversized bean bag chair! I actually kind of want one for myself. 😆
