When you need to think of gift ideas in the moment, it’s always tough! I’ve compiled a list of all my favorite kids gift ideas from 5 years – 9 years (and a little beyond) to make it easy to shop. And as always, just reach out on Instagram if you have more questions about any of the items!
*I make a really tiny comission off these links (like, pennies, but it still makes a difference!). I’m always so grateful when you shop and purchase through my links and support Mini Voyager and my time making these guides.*
