- Deciding on Christmas gifts for kids can be hard! I know how easy it is to overbuy and to include junky gifts just because you are trying to fill a certain category or because your kids want certain gifts. This year, I really streamlined what we bought our three daughters for Christmas gifts and am sharing with you today! We chose very thoughtful gifts, with practical gifts, educational gifts, learning gifts, and gifts that they can learn through play. I hope this helps give you some ideas!

ABOUT ME:
Hi! I'm Sarah, mom of 3 daughters and wife to a busy chef! I have been a working mom from the start and have had jobs as an English teacher, nanny, daycare provider in our home, and now I focus solely on helping other busy moms create balance that sticks with my brand Work Life Glue. I am homeschooling and juggling creating a business while being a mom/wife/friend/daughter/sister/etc. It can be a lot, but I'm SO glad this is my life! I love to share how I fit everything in, how I keep our home organized and functioning well for my family, what I do to keep my girls learning and having fun, how I stay on top of all the things that come along with being a mom and homemaking, and so much more! I would love to have you as part of our Gluestick family, so please subscribe!

Love all these ideas.
Wow! You have some really good suggestions! I've been trying to find Christmas suggestion videos that aren't full of junky toys. This is great!
Amazing ideas!! Thanks so much 💜💖💝💝💝
That Lego book, my son will love that. I never knew that existed. Thanks for the ideas 🎄🎁
It’s such a fun Lego book!
Roald Dahl was a childhood favorite of mine! I know your girls will enjoy the books! I've always been a huge audiobook lover and would have loved those little players as a kid!
Great video!! Omg my daughter loves shopkins too! I wish they made them as much again!!
We love the Heartwood Hotel books here. Our daughter, 4.5 is getting some new duplo sets, two games (out foxed and sleeping queens) a whole bunch of books, and some wooden animals.
I love it! Perfect gifts!
Hello, my granddaughters are 19 months, 7 and 9. So hard to get them things, but you have great things, which I believe they will love as well. Thank you for the Christmas video!!
Can't wait for another veido like this
I love seeing your picks each year 💖 I looked up the sensory boxes on Etsy and I'm so happy I did because the shop owners are a neuro-diverse/special needs family like mine! I'm definitely adding those boxes to our Christmas list this year 😄. Thanks for sharing!
That’s amazing!!!
I love the books especially the LEGO one. I would have loved the fashion designer toy set as a kid lol. You found a lot of amazing items. Thanks for sharing ❣️
Thank you! I often think about what I would’ve liked as a kid - that’s the one easy thing about having all girls!
Thanks for sharing! I'm definitely going to have to look into a Yoto player. I have a 4.5 yr old girl, we also homeschool. She requested "lots of books and a surprise." The Heartwood hotel series is great, we are on book #2 and totally engaged.
We are still obsessed with our Yotos 11 months later! I doubt you will regret it! Can’t wait to read the Heartwood Hotel books with my girls this winter!
Our 6, 4, and 2 year olds all have Yoto players and love them! We’ve been big fans for over a year now. We also gifted our kids the Story Time Chess last Christmas, and it’s been a big hit. :)
I really enjoy watching these videos each year and getting ideas.The only thing my 3 almost 4 year old son has been asking for this year from Santa Is a "Jingle bell" . He loves the movie polar express and wants his own sleigh bell Like the boy in the movie.
Was that’s so sweet!!!
I’m thinking about a a yoto player for my almost two year old grandson. Good to hear yours gets used so much!
We LOVE ours!
U did a great job!
My son wanted books about space (he will be 6 at Christmas). Also, Transformers and a hot wheel track -- I think those are normal boy things lol!
I want my girls to get into cars because I want to get a hot wheels track 🤣🤣🤣 I played with cars a lot as a kid
We moved across the country last year and between what we bought and what everyone sent left us with a completely overwhelming Christmas. This year I have 2 joint gifts for my boys and then 10 gifts each. I’m hoping family will tone it down this year as well.
Oh man I can relate! My family goes NUTS. Our girls are the only grandkids on both sides. It is so much. Thankfully my mom told me what she got so I just scaled back and tried to do fewer toys and more books, games, etc.
❤️
Welp just went on eBay to get the cutie o shopkins mall I was looking for something she can play with and put all her shopkins in and that cutie o is perfect sucks it’s discontinued and way over priced but will get lots of play time for sure thank you for another great video 😊
Yeah I’m still kind of surprised I got it - but my mom went half in and I included it in the Christmas budget. I know they will play with it a ton and be SO excited since I’ve told them many times it’s not sold anymore.
Because of your videos, I just brought the first heartwood hotel book! I cant wait to read 🥺 We also ordered the dragon game, similar to sleeping queens (I think from the same brand) we have really tried this year not to buy junky stuff that won't be used but I think we have done well this year!
Yay! I can’t wait to read them! So sweet! I’m so excited for our youngest to get a little older and play family games all the time. We’ve never been able to consistently because our toddlers are always super grabby which just leads to super stressful game times. I can’t wait to play consistently!
@@HomeschoolGlue I bet before you know it they will be playing in no time!! You have a new subscriber, thank you so much for the ideas! ❤
@@rainbowkitten8990 Thank you so much!
I love this! Thank you for the ideas. I have 3 and 6 year girls. I usually over buy junky gifts that break and no one plays with🤦♀️ This year I'm only buying a few things and going on a trip in a train to the zoo. It's hard because my girls want everything but I know they won't play with everything.
I totally get it! My 5 year old wants every breakable junky toy there is. She buys them with her own money (they earn $5 per week currently but only can spend it every three months usually when they fill up all their stickers for our reward charts). I let them use that money on the crappy toys so they can learn what a waste they are 🤣. And then I am saving that $40 leftover to buy one more thing they really REALLY want. I love the train and zoo gift!!! That’s wonderful!!!!
@@HomeschoolGlue ohh the sticker chart and earning their own money is a great idea! I learned over the last few years I was buying toys for me not them. So I wouldn't feel bad they didn't have much to open. I'd just buy random toys🤦♀️ but I have to remind myself that's not what Christmas is all about❤
This is the first Christmas gift video where I was like, “Yaaas! This mama totally gets my gift-buying style!” I am new to the idea of the Yoto, how does it play music? Does it use a card for that too? Or is it a radio, or do you you download music onto it?
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it! I have a detailed video on the Yoto: ruclips.net/video/5lWx4Eu_Gfg/видео.html
It’s a radio, podcast player, audiobook player, and music player all in one!
Thank you so much for sharing!! Love these type of videos, would love to learn more about all things the yoto player does. Not sure if you have a resource you can share or if you can do a video going into more detail? Thanks!!
You’re welcome!! I have a detailed video here: ruclips.net/video/5lWx4Eu_Gfg/видео.html
@@HomeschoolGlue thank you so much! Do you feel it keeps them from wanting to read actual books?
@@SimpleMommyLife My five kiddos listen to hours upon hours of audio books on hoopla and audible and they still read stacks of books all the time ;0)
@@SimpleMommyLife Not at all! We still read two read alouds each day and tons of picture books!
my kids are grown i was looking on ideas for my daycare kids
Those dresses are so darling!!! So sad she went out of business
I know! They are so comfy and adorable!
My daughter has been asking for more LoL dolls as well as another Switch game since she is finally almost done with her Paw Patrol game. The dress up clothes is a good idea for a present and she did put something like that on her list. Next year hopefully can introduce a shared gift since her little brother will only be 9 months this Christmas.
They are all getting one LOL in their stocking this year.
Shared gifts are my favorite!
@@HomeschoolGlue Just out of curiosity have you ever done what we got in our kids stocking video before?
@@Kittyzero13426 Yes I have a few - just search stocking on my channel page!
@@HomeschoolGlue Thank you!
Kids don’t like shared gifts. Get them what they want. They are only little once.
I bought the Cutie O’s last year for Christmas and spend $130 😳and it broken within the first month ☹️ it was fun while it lasted tho!
Oh no!!!!!! How did it break? Is there a way I could avoid that?
My 4 year old is rough on her toys. She was trying to open is a little too rough I think. It’s great quality for sure, but maybe I have it to her a little too soon. We will play with it, it’s just not connected now. ❤️
My daughter is 18 and wants a vanity with storage right now she uses her old desk and needs more space
I love it! I had a vanity in my teens that I loved! I wish I had kept it for my girls but I didn’t know I would have three of them 🤣
What is the difference between the regular yoto and the mini?
I have a video breaking this down: ruclips.net/video/5lWx4Eu_Gfg/видео.html
Can I ask if these gifts are all from mom and dad, or are these from Santa too? Or do you not differentiate? We are also cutting back, so just interested to hear how other people do things.
The Yoto mini for my 2 year old will be and the last gift we buy for each girl will be from Santa. Everything else is from us.
Thanks!
Tell them all from Santa. I don’t understand why parents take credit. Silly
Love these ideas. Thanks for gift ideas. Are you doing stockin stuffer veido to?
It would be awesome...also Thanksgiving activities hahaha
Yes I plan to do a stocking stuffer video but it won’t be for a while
I can't find your yoto code? Trying to order.
You can use this code: prz.io/5jem2mOiO
Thank you!
The dresses are really cute but we would consider the shopkins “junky”
To each their own. My kids play with them every single day with playdough, they don’t make noise, and I didn’t buy any of the actual shopkins we have (they got them at garage sales with their own money and as gifts), so to me they aren’t junk.
It’s what the kids want. Not you
