Holiday Gifts That Are Perfect For Your Military Kids

Holiday shopping is in full swing, so we thought we would offer up some ideas to inspire your shopping for the military kids on your list.

Birdie Boutique | This is a sister-owned children’s clothing and accessories shop. Even better, both sisters are Army veterans, one is an Army spouse, and the shop is a certified disabled veterans business. It is on Amazon, so your Prime FREE shipping should apply! Their signature car seat ponchos keep kids warm without compromising their safety. The camo style is perfect for military kids!

Gabb Wireless Z2 | Kids always ask for phones. If you are not ready for them to have a smartphone, but still want a way for them to reach you (and vice versa), this may be the answer. The Gabb Wireless Z2 is a safe, child-friendly phone that can call or text. It does not have social media and internet access. A win-win for younger kids. 

NatoCraft Wooden Puzzles | These wooden puzzles are a great choice. These have artistic flair, hidden meanings and purposes for those who engage. Kids think it is fun while it trains their observation skills, and hones their eye-brain-hand cooperation. 

Budsies | This is a unique gift for kids.Their ‘selfie’ dolls are great for kids who may be going through a deployment and are really missing their Mom or Dad. Their ‘budsies’ are stuffed dolls created from your child’s own drawing or painting. How cool is that?

ZZZBears | For kids missing their Mom or Dad, these military-inspired ZZZ Bears can keep them company. The bears are available for each branch of the military, and will help kids sleep better while their Mom or Dad is deployed. The bear comes with a room protector door hanger and a ‘sleep tight oath’. 

Kidvelope | You can stay connected with your family far away with Kidvelope. Kids can interact with their loved one far away by completing a space mission together. These games and puzzles can be completed via online games, phone calls, and even snail mail. Stay connected when not together. 

Hola Amigo Box | A military spouse created this Spanish language subscription box that is a great way to bring a second language into your home and teach your child through play and fun activities. 

Cuddle Clones | Cuddle Clones creates a replica of your family pet in stuffed animal form so your kids can have them wherever they go. The company also offers your pet’s image on other fun items. 

Cali Bee Kids | This is a military spouse owned children’s clothing company that offers adorable handmade items. Take a look at the ‘wolf bonnet’ and the ‘Roxy Rabbit jacket’ for your little ones. So cute. The company offers girls, boys, and gender neutral selections.

Daddy Dolls | A classic gift for kids in military families. This is another doll designed to keep your little one company when their Mom or Dad is on deployment, or if they are just feeling lonely. Just provide an image of your service member and choose the backing fabric you want. There is even an option to add a voice box with a special recording. How cool is that?
