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.

This gift guide is designed for children ages 6-10. By this age, children should be old enough to understand a balance of gifts you can unwrap and gifts you can’t (like an experience or a ticket to something happening in the future.)

If you want to read non-toy gift guides for other ages, make sure you check out my Non-Toy Gift Guide for Babies, Non-Toy Gift Guide for Toddlers, Non-Toy Gift Guide for Preschoolers and Non-Toy Gift Guide for Families.
