Christmas is days away! And if you’re scrambling to get a great Christmas gift idea, don’t fear there are plenty to choose from. When I’m buying gifts for my kids I prefer to get them things that are going to keep them active and keep them busy. Anything that encourages them to be outside, playing with their friends, or moving their body is a win in my book. One of the best gifts you can get your children for xmas is a stunt scooter! They’re easy to use, affordable, and portable. Another great Christmas idea is a family weekend trip away somewhere. Those special family memories that you make together are priceless. If you’re looking for some affordable Christmas gifts your kids will love, keep reading to learn more.
Stunt Scooters
These are such a great present for kids and the best news is that young kids can ride them! Starting from about age two, kids can learn to ride a stunt scooter, meaning that they’re a long lasting gift idea that will get a lot of wear. You can go play in a skate park with your kids, or just cruise around the neighborhood on your stunt scooters. It’s such a fun way to help your kids be active and to enjoy being out more.
A Family Vacation
Depending on where you go, this might not seem like a budget friendly option, but it can be. Why not consider house swapping with friends or family to cut back costs. You can even just do a special overnight somewhere nearby. One of the most precious gifts you can give your kids is some family memories. There are some types of holidays that tend to be more affordable too. One of my favorite types of cheap holidays is to find a great beach town and to spend the days lazing on the beach enjoying the sunshine!
A Pick Your Own Day
There’s nothing more fun than being a kid but being in control of the plan for a day. Let your kid pick what you do together one day as their Christmas gift. Let them pick where you’ll eat, what you’ll drink and what you’ll do. This can be a really special way to spend some quality time together and to focus on what they want to do.
Arts and Crafts
Depending on your kid’s ages, arts and crafts can be such a great activity. You can obviously shop to find things that are age appropriate but some new paints or coloring kits can be so much fun. This is also a great gift idea if you have to buy gifts for other kids, as they’ll always find something they’ll love.
Finding affordable gifts your kids will love can be a challenge, but I’m sure with these tips you’ll be on the right path!
