This year, give the gift of focused fun

Help kids unpack the phone in the new year! Our 2025 holiday gift guide makes it easy to offer alternatives to smartphones, tablets, and gaming platforms.

We know the challenge: "I had to get them a phone because..." So many activities kids love now seem to require tablets and smartphones.

But here's the good news: analog and simple digital alternatives still exist! Our team has handpicked gifts that make it easy to offer screen-free options without sacrificing fun, creativity, or connection.
