In this video I’m sharing what I got my kids for Christmas this year, plus a few of last year’s gifts that have truly stood the test of time in our home. This year has been a challenging one for me healthwise, so I’m extra grateful you’ve stuck around—and I wanted to come back with something genuinely helpful: thoughtful, heirloom-style gifts that actually get played with. I’m not into buying a bunch of bulk toys that just take over the house, so everything I’m sharing is either open-ended, high quality, or meant to expand collections we already love. For my youngest (now 2), I’m adding to what she already enjoys—Magna-Tiles (especially the farm animals set) and another magnetic tile set I chose purely because I love the subtle color scheme. I’m also gifting a Maileg royal pumpkin carriage because… I’m not going to apologize for it—they’re just so darn cute, and the details are unreal. I also talk about Stapelstein stepping stones (we loved them so much we added another set), plus a beautiful felt farm playmat that pairs perfectly with our wooden farmhouse and Holztiger animals. For my 6-year-old, I’m sharing a reborn silicone baby doll I found on Amazon (and my warning about scammy reborn sites), plus camping gear inspired by our first family camping trip. For my older kiddo, we’re keeping it simple with what he loves—LEGO (Minecraft this year), and even doubling up on a Holztiger-style castle so he can build a “rival kingdom.”
