Christmas Gift Ideas for Kids of All Ages

Hi friends! Every year, I have people contact me about children's Christmas gift ideas. Yesterday, it dawned on me that it'd probably just be easier to compile them all into one blog post, rather than sending out email after email or text after text. :) Plus, if anyone comments with additional ideas (on Facebook or below), I can edit this post and add them to the list. 

A few things: (1) I am not going to include links to the items unless they are NOT found on Amazon, as that would make this post 637 times longer than it already is. Just search for the item on Amazon, Prime it, and call it a day. :) (2) My oldest child is 8 years old; so, that's as far as this list extends, as I haven't yet had to brainstorm/compile lists for older kiddos just yet. BUT I'll certainly add any ideas y'all may have for any of the ages below, or older! #teamworkmakesthedreamwork (3) MANY of the items listed under an age bracket work well for other ages, too! So, make sure to look at the other age listings for ideas, regardless if it's the same age as your kiddo.

Alright. Y'all ready? Let's do this thing:
