Christmas gift guide for families - Hundreds of awesome ideas for the best gifts for him, her, and the kids. Great suggestions for moms and women, for dads and men, and for children, toddlers, tweens, and teens. Includes books and games as well as clothes and toys for girls and boys.
It’s almost November, so this is officially time to start talking about Christmas presents, right? I LOVE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING! I love it so much that I start when school starts, if not sooner.
Most of my kids’ Christmas presents are currently hidden either on the top shelf of my closet or in a trunk in the garage, although I haven’t procured the necessary stocking stuffers just yet.
We do a 100% debt-free Christmas every year, thanks completely to my savings accounts that automatically deduct from our paychecks. I pull out a certain amount every other week, 26 times throughout the year, so that we have enough cash to pay for the elaborate Christmas that I want to give my kids. It’s just how we roll, and I have to be honest – it is AWESOME to not have to deal with Christmas bills after the holidays.
So anyway, people ask me every year what I recommend for gifts for different ages and stages, so I have compiled all of my suggestions through the years below. There are sections for:
- gifts by ages
- stocking stuffers
- Christian-themed gifts
- gifts for moms and dads
- family gifts - games & books
- DIY and crafty gifts
In addition to the lists linked below, I have compiled an Amazon page where you can see my recommendations for books and games for kids, teens, and adults as well as Bibles and Christian products, Harry Potter, and loads more. They're organized in topical lists, and you can find my top picks for all sorts of things that will make great Christmas gifts.
I’ll also keep adding to this gift guide as new things come up through the holiday season, so stop back any time you need inspiration!
Christmas Gift Guides for Girls
I am a girl mom. I have two children, both daughters, so I can’t really speak to gifts appropriate for boys. There are lots of things on the lists below that might interest boys, but I’m sure there are also a lot of things that will not interest boys at all. I would like to say that there’s something for everyone here, but if you’re a boy mom, I’d love to hear your gift ideas in the comments below.
Stocking Stuffer Suggestions for Girls
This post took f-o-r-e-v-e-r to come up with so many suggestions, but I loved doing it because I love online shopping! It was like shopping for all your kids in addition to my own.
Of course, I found a thing or two (or twenty-seven) that my own kids need so I will have some decisions to make before I hit the buy button on my Amazon cart.

Hello Tara,
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. And while we know that the real meaning of this holiday season has little to do with all the decorations, tree trimming, and shopping, it’s nice to be able to give a gift to those we love.
But as much as we love giving gifts sometimes finding the perfect Christmas gift can be a bit challenging. You have explored this topic very nicely but when it comes to present gift for family members I want to go with DIY gifts - it really have great impact. Eventually, thanks for sharing your wonderful experience with us.
With best wishes,
Amar Kumar
