Christmas Gift Ideas
Christmas shopping can be so overwhelming. I’ve got seven children, and now two lovely daughters-in-law, and it’s a joy to delight my family, but I also don’t want to spend all my time perusing the internet. I’d rather be there with them, playing games, making crafts, and baking together. I’m guessing you feel the same way, so I’ve gathered a few gift ideas that I hope can help make this season easier for you.
For Mom
A Heartwarming Book-On my list this year is The Awakening of Miss Prim, ( I read it but it was so good I want to own it) and Mothering by the Book makes a wonderful Christmas gift as well.
Hu Chocolate- My favorite chocolate at discount prices through Thrive Market. Get $30 in store credit through my link.
Mrs. Meyers Cleaning Products- If you have to clean for the holidays, it might as well smell nice. Get a free cleaning set from Grove.
Mothering by the Book Tote- The Peaceful Press Mothering by the Book Tote is made of 100% organic cotton and is generously sized for library runs. Available with pink floral or black and white logo.
Shalom Mug- The Peaceful Press Shalom mug is your reminder to take a deep breath during the busy days of homeschooling.
The Restoration Home Hat- This adorable dad hat is perfect for long days outdoors with the kiddos.
Homeschool Planner- The homeschool planner contains 12 undated months with a weekly planner, student schedules, goal setting, attendance sheet, book log, field trip planner, meal planning, and much more.
Essential Oil Starter Kit- I love diffusing clove and orange oil over the holidays and slathering on Thieves at the first sign of illness. A starter kit would make a perfect Christmas gift for health-conscious mamas.
Homemaker Candle- I love this Instagram community and was excited about their candle collection.
For Dad
An Audible Membership- We all want our husbands to read more, but sometimes listening is the better method of expanding their literary awareness. My husband’s favorite audible books this year were The Deerslayer, The Robe, and The Wind in the Willows.
Ferro Rod- This would be fun for older sons as well. It’s a firestarter as well as a survival bracelet.
Inversion Table- This is on our wish list. I tried out my parent’s inversion table and was amazed, and I think my husband would appreciate the relief to his back.
For the Preschooler
Baskets- Preschoolers love carrying things, and a basket is a perfect reservoir for dolls, stuffed animals, and other favorite toys.
Rocker or Wobble Board- These toys are perfect for developing core strength.
Wooden Musical Instruments- I don’t like battery-operated toys partly because of the noise, but a little music-making, while we sing, can be fun.
Peg Game- This Montessori peg and screwdriver set is perfect for fine motor skills and developing little builders.
Toy Animals- Schleich is my favorite brand for quality animal figurines, and this baby elephant and giraffe would make a great start to your collection.
For the Students
Pioneer Girl Costume- For families using The Playful Pioneers, this pioneer costume would be a sweet gift.
Butter Churn- Pioneer kids would love making their own butter with this beautiful little churn.
Knight Costume- While studying the Kind Kingdom you could gift a knight costume to help your children act out the stories they are listening to.
Survival Kit- This is for the mature child or teen but would be an awesome alternative to video game consoles and much more useful. It’s a great gift to inspire adventure as you study jungle missionaries in The Precious People.
Watercolor Paints- This is my favorite portable watercolor set for nature journaling.
Watercolor Journal- This spiral-bound journal is perfect for taking on nature outings.
Chemistry Set- This kit includes projects that would dazzle any child.
Books- The Peaceful Press book lists have amazing suggestions for all ages. Visit our Amazon storefront for the lists or download them as a PDF on our website.
What’s on your Christmas list? I love getting ideas from our friends.
With any shopping, I do my best to buy local, or from fair trade sellers, but I’ve linked to my Amazon shop here, and I hope you can find the gifts that you need to buy with the least amount of money and stress, so Christmas can be peaceful and bright for your family.
