Christmas Morning Kit = the gift you didn’t know you needed 🎄✨ I started making these for friends + neighbors because Christmas morning chaos is REAL. Inside: batteries (AA + AAA), zip ties, a mini charger, box cutter, wipes, trash bags, reusable bags for ribbons + tiny toy parts, labels + Sharpie, a mini notebook, hot chocolate + marshmallows for the kids, and yes… a mini champagne for the parents 🥂
Everything is organized in a tote so it’s easy to grab, reuse every year, and actually helpful when toys need batteries, packaging won’t open, or tiny pieces are about to disappear forever. This is one of those thoughtful, practical holiday gift ideas that people will thank you for on Christmas morning.
Linked all my favorite supplies here — perfect for neighbors, teachers, hosts, or anyone with kids 🎁

Teacher gift cards—but elevated ✨
If you’re looking for teacher gift ideas that feel thoughtful (not last-minute), this is my go-to.

Perfect for teacher appreciation gifts, room mom gifting, end-of-year teacher presents, or holiday school gifts.
All the supplies I used—acrylic frames, ribbons, and gift-wrapping details—are linked here so you can recreate this easy but wow-factor gift card presentation in minutes. Save this for your next classroom gift moment

Gift guide For the sports kids who never stops moving.
A few training tools for kids — the SKLZ Popper training tool and SKLZ sports trainers for baseball and football. These are great for getting energy out without organized practice.
Perfect for youth baseball training, football drills for kids, backyard practice, and indoor/outdoor sports play. I love these for sports-loving kids who want to practice at home and for parents searching sports gifts for kids that actually get used.
Great gift ideas for ages 6–12, athletic kids, **sports families

#LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide #LTKKids

On our list this year — and I’m really excited about this one.
The Playground Game Cube keeps popping up in the best kids gift guides and every review says the same thing: simple, screen-free, and actually brings the family together. That’s exactly the kind of inside play I’m always looking for.
I love that it’s designed for indoor play, family game time, and mixed ages — no batteries, no noise, no screens. Just thoughtful games that encourage problem solving, turn-taking, and real connection (aka everyone in the same room, talking to each other 🫶🏻).
This feels like one of those gifts that lives on the coffee table and gets pulled out on rainy days, after dinner, or during that long winter stretch when you want screen-free family time without effort.
If you’re building a list of educational toys, family games for kids, screen-free gifts, or thoughtful holiday gifts for ages 4–12, this one feels like a really solid pick.

#LTKKids #LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday

📚🎧 Yoto Player — one of the best investments we’ve made for screen-free entertainment.
Perfect for kids ages 3–8, quiet time, bedtime routines, long car rides, and independent play.
We love this because kids can control it themselves — no screens, no scrolling, no overstimulation. Stories, music, learning cards… and they actually sit and listen. Shay uses it daily for rest time, mornings, and winding down at night.
If you’re shopping for educational toys for kids, screen-free gifts, or something that encourages independent play + listening skills, this is a must.

#LTKKids #LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday

🛏️ Lola Blankets — 100% worth the hype and easily one of our most-loved blankets in this house.
Soft, cozy, perfectly weighted, and somehow still looks cute draped over a bed or couch.
These are our go-to for kids beds, movie nights, couch snuggles, and sleepovers. Shay reaches for hers daily, and it’s one of those items that feels special but actually gets used (not just a “nice” gift that sits there).
If you’re shopping for cozy gifts for kids, birthday or Christmas gifts for girls, or something that feels comforting without being bulky — this is it. Washes well, holds up, and still feels luxe.

#LTKHoliday #LTKGiftGuide #LTKKids

🎹 The One Piano — hands down one of our most-used gifts ever.
Perfect for kids ages 3–7, beginner piano players, and little ones who love music, creativity, and hands-on learning.
We love this because it’s a real piano experience for kids (not a noisy toy) — weighted feel, clean sound, and easy for small hands to explore independently. Shay uses it for free play, learning songs, and quiet time, and it’s one of those gifts that actually grows with them. The app it comes with lights up the keys and I even found myself playing with it!!

If you’re shopping for educational toys for kids, music gifts for girls, or a screen-free activity that doesn’t feel boring… this is it.
🎁 Perfect for:
• Christmas gifts for kids
• Birthday gifts for girls 3–7
• Montessori-style learning
• Creative play & early music exposure

#LTKmomlife #LTKGiftGuide #LTKHoliday

One of our most-used kids gifts — like, daily.
These stepping stones have lived in our house for years and somehow still get used every single day. My kids are ages 5 & 10 and they both play with them differently — balance games, obstacle courses, forts, stools, piano seats, indoor movement breaks, you name it.
We use these stepping stones for kids constantly. They’re lightweight, easy to stack, and perfect for open-ended play, gross motor skills, balance toys, and Montessori-style movement at home.

If you’re looking for a kids gift that lasts, grows with them, and doesn’t end up forgotten in a toy bin… this is it.
Perfect for toddler gifts, preschool toys, big kid gifts, birthday gifts, holiday gifts for kids, and honestly one of my favorite screen-free toys we own

Ribbon girl PSA 🎀✨ I just scored the prettiest holiday ribbon at 70% off — yes, seventy. It’s buy 1 get 3 free, aka the math my nervous system understands. While Wells Curated Co. gets her act together behind the scenes, I’m absolutely not gatekeeping because we all deserve beautiful ribbon everywhere right now.
Think: holiday ribbon, Christmas ribbon, gift wrapping ribbon, Velvet ribbon, striped ribbon, pink Christmas decor, vintage-inspired ribbon, neutral holiday decor, bows on everything, holiday DIY, tree ribbon, wreath ribbon, stocking stuffers, teacher gift wrap, pretty packages, holiday home decor, budget finds, holiday deals, LTK holiday finds.
Use it on gifts, stairs, trees, doorknobs, jars, vases, garlands, random handles (no rules). If it has embroidery or stripes, I’m in. 🎄💗
