15 Fun Kid Gifts (and most are under $50)

***This post is sponsored by Zulily and Shopstyle. All opinions are my own (and we own a lot of these toys personally!).***

Christmas prep is going on FULL FORCE around here. I’ve put up all my decorations up EXCEPT my tree, and I’ve been trying to get all my gift shopping done EARLY. One of my go-to, online shopping stops, is Zulily. I wake up daily and check the site for the BEST prices on so many recognized brands, but also a TON of unique finds! 

 I love that Zulily has new deals each day so there’s always something new! They’ve also recently shortened shipping times too! This means you don’t have to wait long for all your goodies. Plus, those savings are amazing!

Did you know when you place an order on Zulily with paid shipping (Friday-Saturday), it opens a window of free shipping on additional orders for the rest of the weekend. Once you’ve paid that first shipping charge, we’ll try to consolidate subsequent purchases into a single shipment, and we’ll give you the lowest-priced shipping option for free for all items ordered by 11:59pm PT on Sunday. How cool is that?

I thought it might be fun to round up a few gift ideas for a varied age of kiddo. From little one to teen, there’s at least one idea that might stand out to you.
Plus, almost all are under $50! 

Bristle Blocks: 
If your kiddo likes to build, these are super fun building blocks. We have a huge set, and all ages of kids enjoy them! 

Space mission rocket ship: 
You’ve seen dollhouses for imaginary fun, but have you ever seen a ROCKET SHIP play set?

American Girl paper dolls: 
A modern twist on a classic favorite. 

Picasso Tiles: 
If you don’t know what these are, you need to. They are THE most played with toy in our house for years. They’re magnetic building blocks and they are so fun to create with. These are some fantastic prices on sets!

Thinking Putty: 
It’s like, play dough for big kids and it’s NOT as messy as slime. These make killer stocking stuffers too!

Latch board: 
Toddlers especially love these latch boards. Open and close all different kinds of latches and closures. This will keep the little ones busy for awhile! By the way, all Melissa and Doug toys ship FREE when you spend $15+. That’s so easy to do!

Poke A Dot books:
These are my absolute favorite for infants and toddlers. They’re super interactive books that have little places to “poke” on each page. They remind me of bubble wrap. There are about a million different versions, but I spy some Christmas ones!

Grow your own Crystal Jewelry: 
What happens when you combine fashion and science? This kit happens. This is a fun gift for a tween!

Woodburning set: 
Here’s another DIY/Crafting set with a rustic twist. Woodburning anyone? You can make some awesome things!

Gun and Target Alarm Clock: 
Have a teen that refuses to get out of bed? Maybe this will help! They can SNOOZE their alarm, but shooting it! I want one for MY room!

Metal Detector lab kit: 
Maybe you have an adventurer at your house? I thought this was a unique gift idea! Now they can find treasures anywhere!

Lava lamp: 
 A blast from the past, I used to have one of these in my room as a teen and I LOVED it. Did you have one?

Mini air hockey table: 
If you don’t have room for a FULL size air hockey table, check out this mini version! This is bound to bring hours of (little) fun!

Hop and Bounce cow:
These little guys are a blast for younger kids. They can bounce around everywhere on their cow. My kids would race on these and it was hilarious!

Playmobil nativity: 
This is a great way to teach the true story of Christmas and focus on Jesus and the Nativity. Kids can learn by play! Plus, I adore this brand. Such good quality!

Such fun, affordable treasures! I think a LOT of kids are going to be happy to receive of these unique gifts, and a lot of mamas are going to love the money they saved by shopping Zulily for quality gifts!
