I would also add carabiners to the list of open-ended stocking stuffer gifts. My kids use theirs and a big ball of yarn to make zip lines for their stuffed animals. It’s fantastic!

[@amykoch3176]

And bungee cords! My son steals all of our bungee cords to build all sorts of things 🤩

[@Sabrina-yw6hv]

I had to look that word up. I had no idea that’s what those were called! Thank you for educating me.😂

[@EJaramillo]

Yes this is a good one, along with the mini flashlights she mentioned. These are great for Easter baskets too!

[@BritBallash]

Hahaha! "Gift guides for men, gardeners, weirdos," 😂 "sorry we found ours at the dump so it was free. Maybe check your local dump." 😂 Angie, you crack me up!! I love your videos so much. Thanks for the good laughs you always throw into your awesome videos to keep me entertained while doing my mundane house chores. Merry Christmas! -Britney

[@homeschoollifemom]

I have never before heard anyone say they didn’t like magnatiles. Most played with toy item in our home and planning to add to our collection. I’ve only heard everyone say they are the best or number 1 gift they’d recommend. Great stocking stuffer ideas!

[@marybowling7652]

Thanks for not putting restrictive age ranges down. My kiddo has special needs, but is also academically brilliant so he could handle a higher math or spelling game for 10 year olds but maybe a dexterity or physical game for a 4 year old would be appropriate. We know our kiddos and we can challenge them and have fun with them appropriately. My son is 7 and I bought a dinosaur comb from your link because he will like that and the comb will encourage good hygiene skills. My little boy has played with MagnaTiles everyday since he was 2 1/2 years old.

[@Eikiala9]

I say this every year but you are my number one go to person for gift recommendations. Thank you ☺️

Black light pens are a great addition! My kids love pretending to be spies.

OOO, adding to my stocking stuffer list!!! Thanks!

[@mollywackrow8247]

I Googled videos on stocking stuffer ideas for my 10 and 12 year old nephews and you did not disappoint 😄 The stop watch is genius! I love you're attitude about learning and development and you have such a great humble vibe and your so funny. I'll be binge watching your videos all night 😂

[@livrose3567]

Just thought (probably obvious) playing cards are such a good gift for older kids. You can get them in so many fun colours and themes to match their interests and they’re so versatile and you can play alone, with one person, with a group, make a house of cards, so much potential AND they’re pretty cheap. My neurodiverse brain is getting way too excited about this at 1am 😅

This was the gift guide I needed! Thank you, Angela!!! 🙌

This was a fantastic list. I’ve added a fort making kit! It’s basically a parachute type cover with big clamps! Forts are well loved in our house!!!

Love this❣ My son is 25... I still enjoy making up a stocking for him❣ Such fun ideas, even for adults. Dont forget a jar of bubbles 😂 ( the dogs love them).

[@janeb2958]

I got a pair of cheap but good quality (army surplus with a Russian language name!) binoculars for Christmas when I was 8 and they were such good quality they are STILL my keep-in-the-car or shove in the backpack when I'm going somewhere where I might want to see further pair! Love the range of toys you have, lots of memories!

[@deemoody1954]

My Grandpa was THE BEST at finding good toys at the dump!! Old peddle cars, a battery operated ride on car are the two I remember most. But we could always count on something good coming back from the dump with him.

[@montieverett4983]

You, beautiful mama, are an old intelligent soul. Thank goodness there are still parents encouraging real play-Imaginative play! Bravo!!!!

[@debifritzsd]

WOW, I have a hard time because peoples titles are usually to pull you in then you find out they were very misleading! I loved this. With 8 gradkids (1 is 14, but the rest are under 10) these are awesome ideas and I can do multiplies. A lot of these are going in my cart. Thank you very much. Merry Christmas 😀🌲

[@tammyroy9042]

This was absolutely FANTASTIC! I have a 10 yr old grandson and we help my daughter with his “bag” (our family version of stockings heeheehee). He’s a very open ended play type kid who loves to create, explore, playing games etc. this was SO helpful! And helpful for me and my parents with some of his gifts as well. Thank you 🙏 😊🎄 Xo 🇨🇦

I am dying of laughter about finding the scooter at the dump! My kids went with my husband a few weeks ago and found the same thing! They absolutely love it and it was free 🤣🤣

[@Minkinglady]

I thought it was my watch that beeped but then you said “what just beeped?!” And I had a mini heart attack 😂

[@MirandaSavage29]

A lot of these would be good for teachers to have for their students.

[@deidrecampbell9454]

We have the micro maxi scooter here in the U.K. and Micro is a fantastic brand. All the parts are replaceable if any get worn or broken. We’ve just replaced the back wheels on my daughter’s scooter (which previously belonged to my son which had bought second hand from someone online) is still going strong. We’ve even upgraded it to light up wheels.

This video was incredibly helpful!!! I don’t like most product videos because they’re too specific or simply just garbage. I love that what you recommend is to spark imagination and creativity!

[@corissahowell]

absolutely LOVE this list. Shared with my son as he was just saying this morning how he was wanting to get non candy stocking stuffers for his kids this year. I games him a few of our go toys that we did when he was little... oranges ( they fit great in the toe), toothbrushes, packages of instant oatmeal (which they usually ate for breakfast on Christmas morning), jewelry for the girls, matchbox cars for the boys.

[@christinamyers6959]

We have a set of mini magna tiles I scored a couple of years ago and ALL my kids love them! I take them to restaurants (they fit in a pencil box) and it keeps them off devices!

Hi Angie! Great gifts for kids. about flashlights, I think I have given aaaaall kids I know flashlights as gifts over the years. Flashlights are fun to play with and gives a feeling of security. A good flashlight to keep in the car or handbag is also a good gift for grownups or teenagers. A nice gift for older teenagers/young adults both boys and girls, that might seem a bit strange to some people are hand tools. Things like a hammer, good quality screwdrivers (I have given my partners siblings older kids Bacho screwdrivers) aso are great gifts and last forever or until they loose them...

[@anncannaday3760]

These are FANTASTIC suggestions. You also made me think of getting my 12 yr old a yo yo. Thanks!

[@wandalee3265]

I have watched so many videos on what to get my 6 and 10 year old. I like practical gifts not just toys they play with for 2 days then gets buried in a toy box. I LOVED this!! I wish you would do a basic Christmas gift one not just stockings!

[@christinachef]

I completely agree with you about the stop watches. My kids woukd get distracted with other things on thier phones while trying to use the stopwatch app. A real stop watch pulls them away from thier phone. Ita a win.

[@homeschoollifemom]

I’d also add a Yoto player for a gift idea. I bought one for my then 5 year old daughter for Christmas last year and boy has that thing gotten used. Getting both my boys one this year as well as stocked up on tons of yoto cards during their Black Friday deal.

[@MissElizaabeth]

I have two toddlers and was struggling for stocking stuffers. Thank you!!!

[@juno2013]

Such great ideas, thanks Angie! I’m big on games, puzzles etc. oh, and of course candy.

You are so creative my daughters are grown now only had two daughters compared to your 8 😮 which impressed me to know end. Anyhoo my daughters were encouraged to put pillows all over floor and use as stepping stones lol so much good fun so many things like that and imagination creativity. Ck your local dump omg I fell off couch.

The “dumpster scooter” is amazing!! My 4 and 7 year old each have one. Super durable the Micro brand is what we have they get left outside all the time and still in great shape. We also let our kids ride them in the house.

[@cpalmer7686]

My 13 year old rides on the scooter with my 3 and 4 year old. They fly through the house at any given moment. We also have that swing. We use it within the home and they love it.

My four year old and 7 year old play with magnatiles EVERY DAY. I do with my four year old sometime… they’re great

[@teresanorris4769]

My daughter loves her wiggle car. She wore her first one out and now at 9 is on her second. She got the first one at 3. We have a ninja course that is amazing fun outside. The magna tiles are for everyone in the family. I have adults come to my house and play with them. A balance bike for any child who doesn’t know how to ride a bike yet is an amazing gift. A doll house for any child over 2. We have the fisher price one bought 25 years ago and is still played with all the time. These are just a few of the gifts that have surprised me at their longevity at being favorites in my home. Open ended toys last the longest because the toy can change as the kid grows.

[@w1f2h3]

Great ideas! Have so many of these tucked away for our stockings 😍 Also agree that those scooters are amazing, we have 2 🙌

I love the idea of widdling wood, highly recommended for the older or more responsible kids. But a word of advice, invest in good cut-free gloves for them...and band-aids, because those gloves don't protect against accidental pokes.

My son is 11 and its hard to find him non junky items for his stocking. He is getting some small lego sets i got on sale, card game, water bottle and some figures. He is also getting a new slinky which i get him nearly every year as he plays with it so much it ends up bend and twisted that he cant use it anymore. Might get him that spinning thing he would like that. This is a great guide for stocking ideas. Thanks for the ideas

Ok, just a HUGE, FYI. Those beavercraft whittling knives are super great, but they come with a bandaid for a reason. Make sure to stock up on those self-adhesive bandage rolls so they can wrap their fingers to protect them from cuts. I'm a very experienced wood carver, and this brand is my favorite, but I even cut myself from time to time.

Someone THREW AWAY a working Micro scooter??? Those are a a bit expensive, but nice! My daughter has had one for a couple years. Also, my kids love magna tiles and my husband and I like playing with them too 😅. We have 2 sets with 2 little train cars and the storage box that folds into a mat. Some weeks our 3 and 5 yr olds play with them every day, multiple times a day. The only slightly frustrating thing is they are easy to knock over, but usually that just keeps the kids busy longer to fix them.

[@yvonneschermerhorn866]

Here are all great kids' gifts ideas! We all complain about how kids are lost without a techy " toy" in their hands. Yet we don't seem in a hurry to supply them with gifts that encourage creativity, sharing, team work, the "thrill of winning and the agony of defeat ( a pogo stick comes to mind 😂) etc. They are so addicted to tech games, which encourage isolation and do not support social skills. I got my greatgranddaughter the 3 wheeler scooter several years ago. They are great for younger children as they balance easily, stand upright when not in use and are easy for a littler child to handle the the heavier 2 wheeler scooters, and more reasonably priced!❤ ❤❤❤❤ 21:57
