Here at Team GG, three out of five of us are parents, so the holidays are especially busy (and expensive!) for us. Whether you’re a parent, an auntie or just a really amazing friend, we’re rounding up some of our favorite gifts for families and kids this holiday season.

Check out what we’re buying for our own families and what we’re gifting to others.

Little People, Big Dreams: We love this series of books that celebrate our favorite visionaries, artists and musicians. We’re partial to this David Bowie one, but there are so many options to choose from.

Tender Leaf Toy Cottontail Cottage: Can they make this in adult sizes? It also comes with the coolest set of retro furniture that will keep little ones entertained for hours.

Alimrose Charlotte Doll: The sweetest keepsake doll that will be treasured for years to come.

Junior Suspend Game: This is the perfect game for families, as the kids and adults will both love this suspension game that also teaches hand-eye coordination and cognitive skills.

Areaware Cubebot: It’s a puzzle, it’s a robot action figure, it’s the cute gift that keeps on giving.
