Christmas holiday time is upon us. This Christmas take a different route and present your kids with activities and experiences. You are in the right place if you are looking for non-toy Christmas presents for kids. 

Kids today pretty much have everything and giving them more toys is just going to add more clutter in the household. The below list of Christmas presents for kids are perfect if you are an aunt, uncle, parent or even a friend who is looking for some out of the box gifting ideas for the tiny ones in your lives. Consider giving a child activity or experience as a present, or something that’s both super fun and useful—and will always get used up. 

List of 11 ideas for Christmas presents for kids

1. A subscription box:

Sign up for a one-time or monthly kids’ subscription box ( think Inquibox – for STEM mini-project boxes delivered at your doorstep). Kids would love receiving something for them in the mailbox.

2. Tickets to a show: 

Be it a concert, a game night, a play, or a dance performance, giving tickets to an event gives kids something to look forward to.

3. Music lessons: 

Music lessons can be expensive. But giving one—or a series—of lessons can be a real gift not just for the child but the parents too! For the little ones, consider gifting a mommy-baby music class.

4. Tickets to a movie:

Give kids a gift card for two tickets at their nearest local movie theatre—or plan to bring them to a show if there’s a must-see kid flick currently in the theatres.

5. Decorations:

Kids love a space they can decorate on their own. So, what do they really want for their room? A bean bag? Posters of their favourite sports icon? Go get them something based on their likes or take them shopping along with you.

6. Art supplies:

Artist or not, a kid will definitely love to play with colours. So fill a basket or bucket with creativity-inspiring items like fancy paper, markers, ribbons, googly eyes, stickers, glitter glue, and more.

7. Gardening gear:

Kids love to take care of living things, and if you know your kid has a green thumb, put together a package of seeds, seedings, kid-sized gardening gloves, and a watering can. You might even receive some flowers regularly.

8. A calendar with special dates:

This is a fun gift for your own child: Pick a calendar that features her favourite animal or character, and write down special dates. Schedule birthdays, celebrations, play dates, and movie nights. This will help your kids elated about spending time with the family.

9. A cooking class & supplies:

Know a budding chef? Give him a gift certificate to a local cooking class, and his own kid-friendly apron and cooking tools or even subscribe to cooking channels on Youtube for kids.

10. Activity passes:

Athletic kids who love to be active will appreciate passes to indoor trampoline parks, rock climbing gyms, swimming pools, or bounce houses. Their parents will appreciate an out-of-the-house activity that tires out their kiddos!

11. A fun & adventurous outing:

Buy a day-pass to a butterfly garden, planetarium, science museum, children’s museum, or a zoo.
