Great Gifts for Kids (and their Mums)
It’s always so difficult and tiring looking for the perfect presents for your kids. You want something that will keep them occupied for hours and won’t go out of fashion in the next week or so…
There are so many amazing gifts available for kids this Christmas at Everten. Mums will be thrilled with these gifts, too. This list will keep them entertained for hours on end and are actually useful for everyday life, meaning you can use them for years to come! With two little ones myself, here is my top gift list for kids and their mums!
Kids love popcorn, and they especially love making it themselves. Homemade popcorn is also a healthy snack and you can always add a bit of caramel or butter flavour for a special afternoon treat. Win, win. Give this Microwave Popcorn maker to your kids this year and enjoy spending time as a family with a family movie night in.
How cute is this lady bug
lunch bag? Get ready for a summer full of picnicking with friends or how about this cute alligator design? With an insulated interior, your kids can spend hours exploring before coming back to a bag full of fresh goodness. Cat and dog designs are also available. It will even get you ahead of the rush as they are great for back to school and sports next year.
Kids Beginner Chopsticks: These things saved us in more ways than one during a trip to Japan earlier this year. Kids love them and it slowly eases them into learning how to use chopsticks without the pressure! These chopsticks are my top choice for stocking stuffers this year.
How many times have your little ones asked you if they can have a sip of your drink but your worried they might spill it? Too many times to count right? Well upgrading from the sippy cup has never looked cooler. The Spill Proof Tumbler from
Contigo is 100% leak and spill proof to give you that added peace of mind when your little ones are travelling in the car. Available in a superhero and pink wink design.
This cool DIY arty placemat is a perfect distraction for kids while mums cook! Plus they will love designing their own masterpiece. Ahh and my favourite part.. they can be wiped clean and your little Picassos can start all over again tomorrow.
Why make regular ice pops when you can make Monster Pops, or Zombie pops?
Zoku are geniuses when it comes to entertaining kids. They have a great selection of dessert makers, perfect for summer! They also do a handy individual instant ice pop maker. You just pour in a bit of juice or yogurt and seconds later the ice pop is ready.
I love this
kids dinner set featuring The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Reading the story is a great way to get kids to eat a variety of foods, just like the caterpillar does. This is a perfect 1
st plate set for baby.
Camelbak water bottles are simply the best! Sturdy and spill proof, these eco-friendly bottles are perfect for back to school or day care. Check out this cool scuba diver design. Camelbak has a whole range of quirky designs, you will surely find a design or two that your kids will love.
Make Taco Tuesday the best day ever with this Triceratops Taco Holder. So stinking cute!
Kids love to bake with mum. Choose from a variety of
cookie cutters, including some state of the art 3D versions! Let them bake their own designs, and journey on a wild safari adventure with this elephant or jet off into a far away galaxy with this spaceship, all whist teaching them measuring and baking skills along the way with a whole lot of fun!
..and there we have it, my top picks for Christmas. I hope your kids love these awesome ideas just as much as my little ones do!
