With the holiday season on the horizon, now is the time to start brainstorming gift ideas. Gift guides for kids of all ages are easy to find. But what if you don’t want to just buy the latest popular toy for a child? Or what if you are a parent who is highly critical of the toys your child plays with? That is where a non-toy gift guide comes in.

(Make sure you read about why I don’t put toys on my kid’s Christmas list.)

This gift guide is designed for toddlers aged 1-3 years. By this age, they are learning to walk and talk. They are also working on independence. Where the baby gift guide was almost designed more for the parents who are caring for the babies, this guide is focused on toddlers who will enjoy opening gifts during the holiday season.

(P.S. If you are looking for gift ideas for other ages, make sure you check out The Non-Toy Gift Guide for Babies, The Non-Toy Gift Guide for Preschoolers, The Non-Toy Gift Guide for Elementary Aged Kids, and The Non-Toy Gift Guide for Families)
