Kid’s Christmas Gift Guide
It’s nearly Christmas and I have once again rounded up some fabulous natural, eco-friendly, ethical (and a little bit educational) gifts for kids.
♥ Twigz Wheelbarrow
This super cute wheelbarrow will be heaps of fun for the kids in the garden or sandpit. It’s ergonomically designed specifically for children, so they are super sturdy and virtually impossible to tip over. Designed in Australia, the tray and legs are made of powder coated steel, the subframe is made of timber and the wheels are made of solid hard plastic.
You can get them online at Gardening 4 Kids.
♥ Finska Game
Finska is a super fun and addictive backyard tossing game for all ages based on the ancient log throwing games from Finland. Players use cunning, strategy and skill to navigate clever twists and be the first to score 50 points. So it’s also a little bit educational. But ssshhh! they will never know!
Finska is the brainchild of two Sydney dads who love the outdoors and playing games and think their game is “a fabulous antidote to the antisocial electronic gizmos that keep kids indoors and it wasn’t something for just kids as well.” This will be fabulous fun for some outdoor time after Christmas dinner!

♥ Green Toys Sand Play Set
You know I love anything recycled and eco-friendly and I am so excited about this company. Green Toys makes a line of classic children’s toys constructed from 100% recycled plastic! Their toys meet US and international toy safety standards, and contain no BPA, PVC or phthalates.
Take this sand play set to the beach or use it in the sandpit – you get the bucket, sand mould, rake and shovel. A brilliant gift for eco-kids!

♥ Magnetic Build a Pic Carry Case
I love that this is a portable toy – how handy for the car or waiting for appointments! The case is a hinged wooden box with magnetic interior and rope handle. It comes with over 50 magnetic pieces and 8 picture guides to get you started. Kids can either use the picture guides to create the designs, or make up their own. There are so many educational aspects to this activity!
Get it online from Freestyle Kids.
♥ Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker
For the mini-chefs in the family! My kids love making their own ice cream, sorbet and frozen yoghurt in our Cuisinart. It’s really easy to do. Just whizz up your ingredients and pour them in and 20 minutes later, you have a frozen treat. It’s so cheap to make gourmet ice cream and better still, you can make it suitable for your dietary requirements. There are no nasty fillers or msg in homemade ice cream!

♥ iBark bamboo phone case
For the older kids (actually I wouldn’t mind one too) – a funky and eco-friendly phone case! The art works are from Australian artists and the case is engraved in Byron Bay NSW. The case is crafted from 5 layers and 78 individual pieces of bamboo. It’s light weight and lined internally with felt to ensure no scratching and a secure friction fit.
Stocking Stuffers:
With a bit of hunting around, I was able to find a lot of cute little gifts that won’t break the bank but will still be fun and useful. Our kids also like a few sweet treats in their stockings at Christmas time, because it does qualify as a special occasion! Check out these ideas.
♥ Gingerbread Family
A no-nasties treat for the kids. Gingerbread Folk products are made with the finest pure ingredients and decorated with a unique egg-free icing. The packaging is eco-friendly and these all natural cookies contain no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.
The box contains a ginger mum, dad, two kids, pet dog & cat. Gingerbread Folk also make gluten-free products too. They are really delicious! Get them online at the website.
♥Banjo the Carob Bear
A great treat for kids with special dietary needs. It’s gluten-free, caffeine-free, theobromine-free and contains no added sugar. Carob Kitchen produce ethical products and contain no palm kernel oils.

So, there you have it, that is my round-up of kid’s christmas gifts for this year!!
