Etsy Gifts for Kids

This year, I headed to Etsy to find handmade gift ideas for children that will create memories and inspire imaginative play.  I had to share some of the amazing gifts that I found so that you can find that perfect gift for every kid on your gift list.

I love buying things for my kids.  Throughout the year, I don’t do it very often.  In fact, I rarely buy them anything that costs more than $1.  But for Christmas, I love to spoil them.  It reminds me of my childhood and coming around the corner to a tree with presents underneath.  It was magical and fun, even as I got older.  When I do buy them gifts, I want to make sure that what I buy them will be loved long past Christmas morning.

When it comes to shopping for my Hubby, I run into two problems:

He either buys my great gift idea for himself or he tells me what he wants.

Now, this doesn’t sound like that big of a problem.  But I love going out and finding that perfect gift.  The gift he didn’t know he wanted.  Nothing is more irritating than finding that “perfect gift” and then two days before Christmas, he tells me he wants it…It’s happened…several times…

So, I started my search early for some unique gifts for dads…

The first thing I thought of was a place for him to stash his stuff.

Docking Stations by KkornerInnovations

I’ve checked out docking stations before, but they always seemed to look the same.  Then I came across the KkornerInnovations shop.  These docking stations are beautifully crafted and have an amazing design. I know he would really love a spot where he could keep everything together when he went to bed each night.

My hubby also likes his beer… So I thought maybe a nice addition to his man cave, which in our house is the garage, would be nice.

Bottle Openers by MVwoodworks

I Loved this bottle opener with a cap catcher. The perfect phrase made this the perfect addition to his favorite place to hang. Plus, I don’t have to worry about the kids finding caps sitting around the house…color sorting anyone?

Naturally, he would need something to pour his drink in…

Personalized Glasses by Dustyroadgurl

These glasses are fun and customizable. They had so many options! They have coffee mugs, old fashioned glasses, wine glasses, pint glasses, and more. They even have Das Boot!  Perfect for the guy who has a hard time remembering dates…

My hubby also has a thing about putting on a comfy t-shirt the minute he gets home from work. So naturally, I had to check for something fun and new that he could add to his collection.

T-Shirt Sets by SunshineMountainTees

I stumbled into these fantastic T-Shirt Sets and I’m LOVING them.  Not only are they clever, but they are also made with eco-friendly, non-toxic ink.  Plus, I can see my hubby still wearing this T-shirt when it’s not father’s day!  (I mean…it’s a pizza…he’ll wear that any day of the year!!)  There are tons of other fun designs so you can mix and match to find the set that works best for your family.

Now my hubby has Loads of tools, I’m sure yours does too however, this is one more that you need to add to his collection.

Customized Hammers  by NiksNaksStore

This gift can literally capture a moment in time on something he’ll actually use!  My kiddos are a bit too young this year, but I can’t wait to get this for hubby next year.  Not only is the text burned into the wood, instead of a vinyl cutout, but they also use a quality Stanley hammer!  It’s around good stuff, that he will love!!

If there is one thing my hubby likes more than beer it would probably be coffee, and he could use a new mug.

Mugs by theMugHermit

These mugs from theMugHermit are funny, without being too cheesy. There are so many fun options to choose from and they are high-quality mugs. This one is perfect for my Hubby since Little Miss loves saying “You’re the best”…and it usually comes out sounding more like Yoda, then You’re….plus, Star Wars.

***Note:  These ship from the UK, so make sure you order them early to ensure you’ll get it in time.

Once I saw Yoda it made me think of other movies my hubby likes. If it is Marvel or DC most likely he is a fan.

Key Chains by DistinctlyIvy

The keychains at DistinctlyIvy stood out to me in both quality and originality.  I love that the kiddos names could be engraved in this one. The perfect gift for their hero. It really makes it from them, which is the point right…

This Christmas, I came back to this post and added some new items that I have found. Check out these other Etsy shops for some unique gift ideas for dads.

Wooden Watches by LuxWoods

The watches created by LuxWoods are perfect for any guy on your list. Masculine and stylish, plus you can have them personalized.

Shaving Kit by AlwaysTurning

AlwaysTurning creates shaving kits that are beautiful and useful. Use the single blade or replace the blade with a more standard one, it’s perfect for keeping daddy’s face smooth.

Whiskey Stones by polarstones

Help dad relax after a long day with whiskey stones from poloarstones.

Wallets and Knives by KeepsakesEngraved

Check out the amazing gift ideas at KeepsakesEngraved. Create a personalized wallet or knife, perfect for any guy on your list.

Apron by dkdEmbroidery

dkdEmbroidery has an apron for the grill master in your family. Check out their shop to see if anyone else on your list could use one of their fun aprons.

FitBit Bracelet by CreekReflections

For the FitBit wearing man in your life, create a stylish look with CreekReflections.

Now the only problem I have is choosing exactly which one of these unique gifts for dads I’m going to get him this year!  No matter what I choose to get, I am happy that I will be shopping through Etsy. I love shopping small businesses whenever I can!

So let the shopping begin!
