I saw a Black Friday sale the other day (it’s early October at the time of writing) and honestly, I was super annoyed. At the same time, I am already thinking about the holiday season because if I can knock some items off my list now, I’ll have more time to actually enjoy the holidays with friends and family versus scrambling for overpriced and ill-planned gifts. I’m still growing this list as I find new and interesting finds for kid gifts this season, but here are my picks for the 2023 Holiday Gifts for Kids.<\/p>\n
