Christmas morning at our house is equal parts magic and mayhem: three kids, a mountain of wrapping paper, and one very tired mom holding a very necessary cup of coffee. Over the years I've learned the gifts that get loved the longest aren't the flashiest. They're the cozy, useful, a-little-bit-sweet things that get carried around all year. So here's our Magical Christmas Morning gift guide, with holiday gift ideas for kids, for moms, and for the whole family.
Cozy Christmas gifts for kids
Christmas pajamas to open on Christmas Eve. If your family does a Christmas Eve box, pajamas are the heart of it. Our kids bamboo pajamas are 95% bamboo and 5% spandex, buttery soft with a little stretch. A few favorites:
- Magical Christmas Morning kids bamboo pajamas, our most-loved holiday print
- Candy Cane Lane kids pajamas for classic peppermint cheer
- Frosted Forest kids pajamas for a calm, wintry look that lasts all season
Buying for siblings or cousins? Kids' bamboo pajamas are included in our 2 for $55 kids PJs offer.
A blanket that's just theirs. The Kids Checkered Blanket is a cozy knit travel blanket sized for little ones. It's the one that ends up in the car, on the couch, and in every blanket fort. It's a sweet gift for toddlers and big kids alike, and it pairs perfectly with new pajamas under the tree.
Fun hair accessories. For the kiddo who loves something playful, our Gingerbread Christmas Hair Clip is pure holiday fun, and the 95 Race Car Claw Clip is a hit with kids and moms who love a little race car energy. Both tuck easily into a stocking.
Christmas gifts for moms
Moms are often the last ones on the list (I say that lovingly, as someone who once forgot to buy herself pajamas for our own family photo). Here are a few gifts that feel like a treat:
- Her own matching pajamas. Our Magical Christmas Morning adult pajama set matches the kids' print, so Mom gets to be in the photo, not just behind the camera. Adult sets also come in Frosted Forest, Candy Cane Lane, and Christmas Bows, with sizes limited in some prints.
- A big cozy throw. The Big Checkered Blanket is the grown-up version of our kids' favorite. It's perfect for curling up with a book once the house is finally quiet, or for snuggling the whole crew during a holiday movie.
- A festive little bag. Our Quilted Christmas Purse with Mini Gingerbread Bag Charm is a cheerful one-and-done gift for the mom who loves a seasonal accessory.
- A bag charm to dress up anything. The Fluffy Gingerbread Bag Charm Keychain clips onto a diaper bag, purse, or keys, and makes her smile every time she grabs them.
Stocking stuffer ideas under $30
Small, sweet, and easy to wrap (or not wrap at all):
- Gingerbread Christmas Hair Clip
- 95 Race Car Claw Clip
- Fluffy Gingerbread Bag Charm Keychain
- Kids Checkered Blanket (rolled up with a ribbon, it fits right in a big stocking)
Gifts for the whole family
If you want one gift everyone opens together, make it matching pajamas. There's something about the whole family padding around in the same print on Christmas morning that turns an ordinary day into a memory. Our matching family Christmas pajamas guide walks through every print and how to size kids and grown-ups, and our kids bamboo Christmas pajamas guide covers zip sleepers, two-piece sets, and button-downs for the littles.
A few gift-giving tips from our house
- Shop early for sizes. Our prints are made in small batches, so popular sizes can go quickly in December.
- Start a Christmas Eve box. Pajamas, a blanket, a hair clip, and a favorite book. Simple and so special.
- Gift something that gets used. The best presents are the ones still in rotation in March.
