The Holidays are usually a busy time for parents, but this year we have added the stresses of quarantine restrictions, shipping delays and decreased travel. We are here to help you cross off your holiday shopping list quickly.

If you’ve ever given a kid a present only to have them play with the box, this is the guide for you. Don’t waste time asking what are the best gifts for kids? What will be the most popular gifts for 2020? What can I buy for kids who have everything? What is the best gift for my wife? What is the best gift for my husband? We have unique gift ideas for the whole family for all budgets!

Adventures
Adventures are the gifts that keep on giving! Kids learn about themselves and their world through their experiences. These life lessons and memories mean more and have a longer lasting impact than the toys wrapped with pretty bows.
Adventures to gift can include tours, classes, sports, physical activities, camping, overnights and more. Adventures don’t have to break the bank. Check for deals on CertifiKid before you book. For family adventure ideas check out the blog for recent adventure reviews. Enjoy some of our favorite easy to gift adventures for families:

We love the lessons at Inside Ski provides a year-round opportunity to practice and train without the drive, lift tickets, rentals, or cold weather.

You’re making an investment in family bike rides with your littles when you get them a balance bike. We love the durability, air tires, adjustable seat height, adjustable handlebars and foot rest on the 12″ Schwinn Balance Bike.

When kids learn to balance first they become more confident riders and parents spend less time holding on to the back of bike seats.
