It’s that time of year when we desperately try to find the right gift for each little individual. It’s natural to want to make each child happy with the best gift.

This year, you also have to contend with getting as much value as possible from the gifts. Fortunately, some of the coolest gifts for kids are affordable. They will also stimulate knowledge, thinking skills and imagination.

Parents would rush out and get the latest gadget or toy regardless of cost, because everyone else did. That kind of knee-jerk reaction is over. Budgets require finding the best gifts for kids. It forces us to think about what kids enjoy rather than showing off.



Here are some cheap unique gifts that will enable your kids to enjoy and be proud of their gifts.

The Veggie Garden

A veggie garden teaches kids to grow food and flowers. What a great gift to allow your kids to plant seeds, tend the veggies and harvest. Add a few simple gardening utensils. The final step is showing them how to cook or prepare the veggies produced. Supply them with seeds such as:

  • Radishes
  • Onions
  • Lettuce
  • Zucchini
  • Corn
  • Tomatoes
  • Pumpkins
  • Cucumbers
  • Carrots

Give them a piece of the yard and teach them how to grow. The best gifts for kids provide tools for them to learn skills i.e. gardening and cooking. Or, they can snack on fresh veggies as they play.
