Reading Time: 5 minutes
This complete 2021 Christmas gift guide includes gifts for the whole family, ideas for each person in the family on your list. It covers everyone from grandparent to baby and all ages in between, including things that the entire family can enjoy together. We’ve got some small, family-owned business favorites and as well as items from your favorite online retailers. And even better, you can buy them all online to help take the stress out of holiday shopping with our 2021 Christmas gift guide!
Check out the 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2020 Gift Guides for even more ideas!

A little confession…I (Erin) am not a shopper; I don’t like shopping. There I said it. 😉

On the other hand, Will is more of a natural gift giver. He tries to think about each person and find a specific gift that matches.

For me (Erin), gift giving often results in decision fatigue or paralysis because of all the options.

Shopping can be stressful for me, especially during the holidays and when you are trying to find just the right gift for that special someone or hard-to-buy-for family member.

So, Will and I worked together again this year to create a list of suggestions for the whole family, including some classic gifts as well as some of the hottest items of this year.

The gift ideas are divided into groups, but some of the ideas could work for more than one group. The gifts can cross into different categories. We just split them up this way for the sake of organization.

We also tried to include some things from some of our favorite small businesses. For other handmade items, you can always check out Etsy or your local artisans. Some of our favorite items that we use every day always find a spot on our list.

Obviously, this is not an exhaustive list, and it could be so much longer, But Hopefully, it will give you some ideas. If you don’t see anything specific, then maybe it will spark some other ideas for you to explore. Be sure to check out our previous lists for other ideas.

There are varying price points on this list, so we would also encourage you to make sure you are staying within your budget and select gifts accordingly.

We kept a “non-toy/subscription service” page again this year for those who want to consider other options. You can also check out other non-toy gifts for your children such as experiences. Or make sure to think about non-junk stocking stuffers as well.

Like last year, we included a page with retro toys making a comeback and a page for natural/green ideas for the whole family. 

Top Pick: Pinwheel Smartphone for Kids

One of our favorite items on our list this year is the Pinwheel Smartphone for Kids. We were very hesitant about giving our oldest daughter a phone, but that’s when we discovered Pinwheel.

Introducing technology to kids can be a difficult and confusing journey. It was really important for us to pick a device that mirrored our family’s values and boundaries. As we searched and researched (and searched and researched some more) for a phone, we discovered the Pinwheel phone.

Pinwheel is a real smartphone that gives kids everything they need, without all of the features that worry you. There’s no web browser, no social media, and no app store. We have been using Pinwheel for a few months, and something amazing has happened…our 13-year-old daughter and I agree on something. It is amazing! I highly recommend Pinwheel as a safe smartphone option that you can trust this holiday season! Be sure to check out the new Pinwheel Plus before they run out.
