Buying gifts for toddlers doesn’t have to take a lot of time and money. I think it’s a lot more fun to open a package with lots of little things than one big gift. If your toddler is like mine were, they’ll either lose interest after a couple hours or the toy will be broken. So, here are some stocking stuffer ideas for toddlers that won’t break the bank and will give your toddler more than a few minutes of fun.
These ideas are just that: ideas! These will hopefully spark your imagination and you’ll come up with some of your own that are more tailored to your own children. But, even if you’re in a rush and just want to get done, there are plenty of ideas here.
Best stores for get stocking stuffers
Here are my favorite stores to get your stocking stuffers from:
- The dollar store is always fun to shop at for small trinkets. But, if you’d rather not drive and brave the crowds, there are lots of online stores that will have what you want.
- Amazon has everything you can think of, and with a Prime member ship, you get free 2 day shipping. Try Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial
- Target has many of today’s children favorites.
- – you get access to hundreds (if not thousands of stores through ebates and also get money back. If you’re new to ebates, you’ll get $100 towards your first purchase too. Give it a try.
- Etsy is a treasure trove of homemade gifts. Not only can you find the perfect gifts for your toddler and the rest of the family, but you’re probably supporting a mom working from home.
Ok, so now that we know where we can find lots of these little gifts, let’s look at some ideas.
