When you need to think of gift ideas in the moment, it’s always tough! I’ve compiled a list of all my favorite small gift ideas from baby to big kid, and stocking stuffers we’ve used for the kids to make it easy. 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.*
Small Gifts and Stocking Stuffers I love
1. Dig-a-gem cubes
Each block hides a fun gem for kids to chip away at until they uncover it. These are great to split between kids.

For the kids who still use the bthroom at night, this fun light is a great way to not have to turn on bright bathroom lights at night.
