There is truth to the saying “too much of a good thing,” though your kids may argue this point when it comes to toys. If you are a family with young children, it may feel like your home has been invaded by toys. With the holiday’s right around the corner, you may be wondering how on earth you are going to be able to handle having any more new toys in the home when it already feels like you are drowning in them. Well, there are gifts out there that can be even better than toys, believe it or not. These gifts are ones that all children will love and ask over and over for again. Here is our list of the best non-toy gifts you can give this holiday season. I feel like my kids have absolutely everything under the sun and that makes gift buying difficult. If you are in the same boat and looking for a different kind of Christmas gift? Check out these non-toy gifts for kids #holiday #gifts

Lessons or Classes

Has your child ever wanted to learn karate or maybe they wanted to learn how to play the guitar? Giving your child, the gift of lessons for something they have always wanted to learn is priceless as it is something that will provide them with a lifetime of enjoyment. happy-friends-playing-basketball-on-sports-ground

Entertainment

There are passes you can purchase either at their local zoo or museum that you can use throughout the year. These are great for not just kids, but for the whole family to enjoy. Many of these places have different events going on throughout the year, and it is an excellent opportunity for the family to spend time with one another and bond. dancing-with-friends-at-the-birthday-party

Arts and Crafts Supplies DIY Box

You can gather items around the house such as toilet paper rolls or plastic spoons. Add in some paint, glue, and anything crafty you can think of and put them all in a box. This is a great gift to give as it helps them work that creativity and thinking muscles to create whatever their imagination can think of. This will keep them occupied for quite some time.

Subscriptions

There is nothing more exciting to a child than receiving something for them in the mail. There are many different things out there that you can subscribe your little one for. Magazines such as Highlights are a great item to receive in the mail. Your child will love going through all the pages, but they also have educational items in there as well. There are also great companies out there such as Doodle Crate, Little Passports and Citrus Lane that send care packages, every month of fun activities with your little ones can do. We got another package addressed to my daughter

Is there a favorite movie they would love to see on the big screen? Maybe they like to go Go-carting? Giving the gift of an event is an excellent idea for a perfect non-toy gift. You can make the family night even more impressive by making it a special treat to go to a concert or even a sports event. You are helping create memories that will last them a lifetime!

    I was in this dilemna, she has so much stuff there is literally no more room in her room. Her parents said no parents even to the grandparents. Finally I got her a gift card to the movie theater since she wants to see Sing! and Beauty and the Beast.

    I actually decided to go with the arts and crafts idea for my son who has taken a big interest in drawing and designing pictures! Great ideas! Thanks

    I love the idea of giving lessons as a gift, esp when the parent can join in. Thanks!

Kalahari - There is something stunning about the changing seasons in the Midwest. Between fall, winter, spring and summer it's hard to choose which our favorite is. That is why taking a trip to the Midwest is a must. #Midwest #Way2GoodLife #FamilyTravel #travel
