Gift Ideas For Little Boys

I’ve always found it so much harder to shop for my son than it was my daughter! Maybe it’s because I’ve always been a girlie girl but I personally think that there are so many more fun gifts to buy for girls! If you’re having a hard time shopping for your little boy then hopefully this gift guide will help you! This blog post is full of ideas for little boys that is filled with toys that my son actually owns and loves! A lot of these are actually gender neutral toys that my daughter loves as well! If you’re looking for gifts for little girls make sure to check out my little girls gift guide too!

I always work so hard to find presents that will make Christmas morning exciting for the kids but also something they will still enjoy weeks, months and even years later! If you’re anything like me the amount of options of toys and things out there that can be purchased can feel so overwhelming! When I shop for something for my family I typically spend hours researching, reading reviews and trying to pick the best option. So here you can shop all my picks of what I actually bought my little boy! These are some of his favorite things and I would bet they will be your little boys too!

They say play is a Childs work and pretend play is so good for learning! These are a few of our favorite pretend play toys!

Play Kitchen - We have had this kitchen for over 4 years and it’s held up amazing to all the rough play! There are a lot of cabinets for storage so it will store all of the accessories and food!
Wooden Coffee Maker - If you’re a big coffee drinker like I am then your kids probably like to pretend to make and drink coffee too! This is such a fun way for them to do that!

Coffee Cups - Perfect for the little coffee drinkers.

Pretend Pots & Pans- these are a play kitchen essential and are so much cuter than other ones I have seen!
Toy Blender- Perfect for the pretend baker!
Wooden Grocery Stand- We don’t have this one but if we had the space for it we would! It’s so cute and perfect for pretend play!

Little Tikes Interactive Suitcase - This was Lincoln’s Santa gift last year! His big sister asked for a princess pretend suitcase which was easy to find but a boy version was not!! He always wants everything his sister has so I knew we were gong to need one for him. It’s so cute to see the two of them pretending to go on vacation with their suitcases. This one is really cool because it is interactive and has some awesome learning resources.
Fire Truck- This little truck is perfect for indoor play or outside getting messy!
Melissa & Doug Sandwich Counter- this is perfect for pretend play and creativity!
Mickey Train Set- We got this for Lincoln for his birthday last year and he loves it! It’s made by Brio which is really good quality and will last for years! He loves to set up his trains and push mickey around on the track!
Bubble Lawn Mower - We have had one of these for all of the kids when they were toddlers and it’s so funny to see them “mowing the lawn”
Kids' Scooter- These scooters are awesome for little kids who are learning and don’t know how to steer! We got it for Lincoln on his second birthday and weren’t sure how he would do with it but he did great right away!
Bubble Podz- These are the BEST for bubble baths! If your kids are anything like mine and tend to get reactions to skincare products then you will love these! They are perfect for sensitive skin but they also make the best bubbles I’ve ever seen! One pod will fill the bath with foamy bubbles!
Squirrel Game - This is my kids favorite board game! You fill your tree up with acorns and get to steal acorns from each other. It’s perfect for little kids!
Little Tikes Gas Pump - How cute is this to go along with a Cozy Cupe ?! This way your little one can fill up the gas tank before heading out!

Lincoln’s stocking every year.
Dinosaur Camera- My kids love to take pictures and this camera is such a fun way for them to do that! I love how affordable it is!
Cuddle + Kind Lion- I love these handmade stuffies because they are for such a good cause!
Owala Water Bottle- I love including practical gifts like water bottles in stockings because it’s something kids still get excited about but it’s very useful! And I get pretty grossed out by old water bottles so it’s good to bring in new ones for holidays!
Lego Construction- This lego set Is so adorable!
Wooden Rattle Set- Perfect for younger boys!
Hot Wheels Bath Bomb - My kids love bath bombs and this one is so fun!

Explorer Set- This little set is so fun for boys to pretend to be explorers!
Pottery Barn Kids' Chair- We have these chairs for each of our kids personalized with their names on them. They love having their own chairs and will sit in them in the playroom while they play or watch TV. Sometimes they fall asleep in them and it’s so cute! I love that the covers are removable and machine washable because we have had lot’s of spills and accidents in them! they are also really lightweight so we often move them to the living room for family movie night.
Jellycat Monkey- These Jellycat stuffed animals are so soft and cute! They have so many cute animals but the monkey is one of Lincoln’s favorites.
Wooden Name Puzzle- We have these for the kids and it’s so good to help them with name recognition !
Jurassic World Dinosaur- Lincoln loves to play with dinosaurs and this one is so fun!
Wooden Castle Blocks- These blocks are awesome for building and they make the coolest castle!
Wooden Toolbox- My kids love to pretend to play with tools while their dad works with tools n the garage. We keep this little wood tool box in the garage for them to do their building while he does his!
Campfire Set- Ever since we went camping my kids love to pretend to have a “campout” and pretend to be by a campfire, so this one is perfect!
Ball Pit- Every kid loves a ball pit! We don’t personally have one because I don’t want to clean up balls all day long but if you’re looking for one, this is great!
Dinosaur Egg Bath Bomb- Lincoln got these for his birthday last year and he loved them so much I am getting him more for Christmas! They have the cutest little stretchy squishy dinosaurs inside and he carries them with him everywhere! I also loved the quality of the bath bomb, it didn’t irritate his skin the way so many others do!

Wooden Train Table- If your little boy loves trains like Lincoln then this table is perfect!
Cars Transporter- Lincoln got this last Christmas and it’s still one of his favorite toys! It is Mac from the movie cars and he transports all of the little cars! Lincoln loves the line all the cars up and then drive them down to other rooms of the house!
Cars Set- These are the little cars to go with it!
RC Truck- This monster truck is so fun and every boy is sure to love it!
Dinosaur Egg Bath Bomb- These are the same bath bombs listed above! He loved them so much I added them to 2 gift guides! They would also make great stocking stuffers!
Lego Duplo- Duplos are so great for learning to build and are perfect for kids who are too little for legos.
Wooden Firehouse- This is hands down Lincoln’s favorite toy!! It’s small enough that it won’t take over a room and it closes up to be even smaller! It comes with furniture and people and is the perfect little playlet for boys! Lincoln was always stealing his sisters dollhouses to play with his animals and superheroes and now that he has his own he has so much more fun! We keep it in his room and he will put his toys to bed in it at night and play with it again first thing in the morning. We got this for him for Christmas last year when he was 2 and his reaction on Christmas morning was PRICELESS! It was a surprise gift that we were crossing our fingers he would like and it was absolutely perfect!
Mix and Match Dinosaurs- This is another one of Lincoln’s favorite toys! You can build your own dinosaurs with the mix and match pieces! He has so much fun building creations and since they are magnetic they are really easy for little kids! This was a Christmas gift from last year ( when he was 2) and it’s still one of his favorites!

This gift guide isn’t boy specific so some of the items are a bit girlie but wanted to share it here because all of the others are perfect for both boys and girls!

Playhouse-If you’re little one loves to play house then this is perfect! All of our kids love to play in ours! Ours actually had to be painted black and white because they didn’t sell it that way and it was such a pain to do! I love that this one comes in such cute colors!
Bouncy House- Anyone else’s kids love to bounce?! I love that this bounce house is neutral colors so it’s not so overstimulating! Could be used indoors if you have enough space!
