Gifts for Kids – Spark Your Little One’s Creativity
When it comes to gifting kids, it can be challenging to find something that is both unique and meaningful. Whether they’re your own kids, your nieces or nephews, the children of friends, or even your grandchildren, you want to give a child a present that will incite creativity and appreciation.
Toys are fun, but they become completely obsolete the second a newer, cooler toy drops. Clothes are great, but children—especially younger ones—grow out of them fairly quickly. Giving a gift with permanence and meaning custom-made for a kid, that’s the gifting sweet spot.
At MixPlaces, we offer a wide range of customizable products that can be used to create personalized and memorable gifts for children. From photo books to star maps to street map posters, there are many creative ways to use MixPlaces products to create the perfect gift for kids.
Gifts for Kids – Where to Start
Kids come in all different shapes and sizes, and their gifts should too. Every child has a different personality and diverse interests, and whether it be dinosaurs, space, or more recently, YouTube, they all deserve a gift that aligns with what they like.
When it comes to getting a kid you love a gift, think about their hobbies—think about their likes and dislikes, from their favorite colors to their least favorite activities. Additionally, think about what development stage they’re on. Are they toddlers, pre-teens, or teenagers? How have their likes evolved over time?
The point is, don’t think as “gifts for kids” as a generic blanket term. The whole point of MixPlaces is customization that aligns with individual people’s interests and heartfelt memories. Instead, think about it this way: you have a blank slate ready to be converted into a kid’s new favorite gift. What are you going to do with it?
Picking the Right Gift for Kids
Because kids are all so different, it’s important that you pick the right gift for the right kid. If you’re a little blocked on ideas, here are a few to help you get started.

“My starry poster recently arrived from this company having never heard of Mix places before and being very weary of trying something new. But the reviews were good (even though most companies just pay someone to make them up) and I'm thrilled with the result. Even if all the other reviews are fake Mrs. Janet Smith from Blue Bell loves it!"
