The holidays are just around the corner, and if you have elementary school aged kids to buy gifts for, it can sometimes be hard to think of an idea!
Many of them are into video games and other screens, but I’ve rounded up a bunch of other options for gifts for big kids that aren’t video games or phones. Depending on the gender and interest of the kid in your life, one of these is sure to work!
