AD – PR Product | With Christmas quickly approaching and online shopping becoming even more popular, I wanted to suggest some online shops where you can purchase Christmas gifts for kids.
Personalized Children’s Books
I was kindly gifted two personalized books from Wonderbly, and I chose You and The Beanstalk and The Elf Who Saved Christmas for my daughter. You and The Beanstalk is a retelling of a classic fairytale, while The Elf Who Saved Christmas is about an elf who saves Christmas from being canceled. Both books also teach great morals, with You and The Beanstalk teaching about resourcefulness and empathy, and The Elf Who Saved Christmas teaching about determination and creativity. In both books, you personalize the main character with the child’s name and gender, and you can choose the appearance from 6 different characters. You then choose from either a softcover, hardcover, or premium layflat hardcover format, and you can write a dedication. From when my daughter’s books were shipped, it took a little over a week for them to be delivered in Denmark.
I have since read both books to my daughter, and she loves them and wants me to read them to her again and again. Since she is the main character of the books, she is engaged in the story, and she also loves looking at the colorful illustrations. Wonderbly has other personalized books for children from 0 to 6+, and they would certainly make a wonderful Christmas present.
$29.99+ at Wonderbly
For I Am Ruth: A Tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I was gifted a copy of For I am Ruth by Natalie Elisha Gold, and it follows a young RGB and how she found her calling to fight for gender equality. The book is 43 pages long and is for children 6 years and older. I read the book with my almost 5-year-old daughter, and she enjoyed the colorful illustrations and the rhyming sentences. We also had a discussion on the messages in the book, and it will be wonderful to read to her again. I definitely recommend For I Am Ruth to any child you know because it empowers young girls and lets them know that anything is possible.
$8.18 for Paperbook or $2.99 for Kindle on Amazon
Create Your Own Calm
Create Your Own Calm: Activities to overcome children’s worries, anxiety and anger by Becky Goddard-Hill supports children’s emotional well-being and overcome worries. The book has simple and practical ideas to help manage stress, anger, and anxiety, as well as fun activities that can be done alone, with friends, or family, such as yoga, growing a pizza garden, and cloud watching. Children also learn about the science behind their emotions along the way. Create Your Own Calm would be a great gift for children 6-12 years old to help them become emotionally resilient and take the steps to become calm and happy.
£9.99 for Paperback or £5.99 for Kindle on Amazon
Handmade Plushie
Like most kids, my daughter loves plushies, and several years ago, I bought the bat plushie from Ugly Plants. Last month, with Halloween, my daughter claimed the plushie for herself. The plushie is of great quality, and it is so soft. Anastasia also makes pastel bats, bears, and cacti plushies. There are many other small businesses that sell plushies, including Phoebes Plushies who makes cute crocheted plushies, and Nanna And Nora Design who makes crocheted play food.
Biodegradable Christmas Stationery
For biodegradable, eco-friendly, and sustainable Christmas cards, gift tags, and wrapping paper, I recommend Little Green Paper Shop. Their cards are handmade in the UK by a woman-founded small business, and both the cards and gift tags are made using either lux seed paper, bloom seed paper, elephant poo paper, sugarcane paper, or reindeer poo paper. I was gifted two cards, one made from seed paper that is infused with daisy seeds and can be planted after use, and the other, which is made from reindeer poo all the way from the North Pole. I was also gifted three gift tags made from seed paper. Both the cards and tags would be great options for kids because it would be fun to have a card made from poo or to be able to plant and grow flowers from them.
The cards and gift tags also come in 4 different themes and are available in multipacks, and some cards can be purchased individually. Lastly, I was gifted a sheet of wrapping paper that is made from the Mulberry plant. The golden stars are screen printed using water-based inks with synthetic micas, which makes the paper biodegradable. The wrapping paper can be purchased in 3, 5, or 10 sheets. Little Green Paper Shop is certainly a great option for biodegradable Christmas stationery.
Price varies at Little Green Paper Shop
Stickers
The last suggestion I have is for stickers, as my daughter LOVES stickers. There are many other artists who create stickers that kids can use and decorate with. ThePaintingPlant sells holographic stickers, including the glittery bat holographic sticker I purchased for myself. Other shops with stickers I would recommend are Jinosart, HailuvStudio, MossyFawnArt, TheArtofAlicia, and Allenolantern.

- 7th November – Gift Ideas for Gamers with Kim
This is such a great gift guide for kids! Thanks for sharing all these ideas!
Thank you!
Great ideas!
Thank you!
These are great ideas — so needed as I am running low on ideas for my friends children!
Thank you! I hope you found some great gifts for them!
I love the idea of create your own calm book, I think my son would benefit so much from it!! Animal crossings is on my daughters list too lol xx
If you do get the book for your son, I hope it will be helpful!
Your daughter is going to love Animal Crossing!
We had a personalised book made for Flora when she was younger and she absolutely adored it so these are great suggestions. I also like the biodegradable stationery as well, perfect for all those thank you letters after Christmas 🙂
That’s so sweet you made a personalized book for Flora! After I read one of the books to my daughter, she always tells me she wishes it was real
Yes the biodegradable stationery is great!
Some lovely ideas here, I love the idea of a personalised letter from Santa!
Thank you so much! It is a great gift for kids!
You have some great gift options on here. I love that you included some smaller businesses as well in your list. This year, more than ever, small business owners need our support. The lockdown and all the new rules and regulations have made it SO hard for business owners to keep doing what they love. I’m going to make it a goal to buy as many gifts this year from small businesses as I can!
Thank you! Yes it is important to support small bussinesses if possible this time of year! Last year I bought Christmas presents during Small Business Saturday & I’m planning on doing the same this year!
Great ideas, I love the personalised ones! And Create Your Own Calm sounds brilliant too, I love the idea behind that one.

These are some great ideas. I’ve given some wonderbly books as gifts before now and they make the lovely keepsakes.
Thank you! They are great keepsakes!
These are some great suggestions, I’ve noted a few down as ideas for my younger brother!
Thank you & that’s great to hear!
What great ideas! My Mum used to create a “letter from Santa” every year, and for sure they did the trick! Great post x
Thank you! That’s so sweet your made letters from Santa!
These are some great ideas for kids. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
These are some great ideas for kids (or kids at heart). I’d love the cute bat plus his or stickers for myself. 🦇
That was meant to say “plushie”, but my phone changed it. 🤦♀️
Haha that’s fine! The plushie is adorable!
I loved that you included biodegradable Christmas stationery! During the holidays, there’s so much trash already so it’s really nice to be able to lessen that just a little. Great post and great ideas for creative kiddos 🙂
Thank you & yes I agree there’s already so much trash so it’s nice to have biodegradable Christmas cards, tags & wrapping paper!
Super cute gift ideas! I think I will start shopping mega-early this year and go BIG xxx
Thank you & I hope your shopping has been going well!
Great ideas. Can be difficult to choose especially for other people’s kids. My lil boy wants animal crossing.
Thank you! I agree it can be difficult & my daughter loves animal crossing so your son would probably like it too!
How cute! now i have some great ideas for my nieces and nephews for Christmas. honestly the plushies are so adorable – i want one for myself! 🙂
That’s great to hear! There’s nothing wrong with getting a plushie for yourself haha
I love the handmade plushie idea! I’ve recently seen loads of those on etsy and it’s a real talent to be able to make a plushie! Also, children’s books are always the cutest!
