Mixbook Holiday Gift Guide for Kids

Halloween is behind us and we all know what's next - the holiday season!

And while Christmas is certainly a magical time and joyous occasion, a certain question always comes together with it - "What should I...ahem, Santa, gift my children this year?"

On certain occasions that is a very tough question. Because sometimes another toy just doesn't cut it. Well, worry no more because Mixbook is here to grant your wish! And rest assured, this list of gifts will age a lot better and bring more nostalgic value than any toy in existence.

1. Decor that lasts forever

A picture is worth a thousand words they say. Since your child doesn’t have a smartphone, or the means to capture photos like his/her parents, teach them at a young age that photos matter. Print their favorite photo of their friends or a moment from their favorite summer memory, and surprise them with a metal print, perfect for their nightstand. Our metal and acrylic prints can be written on with dry-erase or chalk markers for an interactive photo display.

2. Calendars can be fun too

Christmas is also the final holiday before the end of the year, so why not choose a gift that puts a nice final touch on the current year? Create a calendar with pictures of your little one, where they enjoy themselves during their favorite event or holiday of each respective month. Depending on the age of your child, this is a fun way to teach them how to use a calendar and remind them what to look forward to at the beginning of each month!

3. A special message from Santa

It is wonderful that in this day and age kids still believe in Santa Claus! Use a picture of your child in our card editor, and decorate it in a Christmas style. Choose the real foil option to give it that extra magical touch. Where's the catch? Write a personal message from Santa to your kid, saying how good he was this year, and see their eyes light up with glee!

4. Celebrating achievements and holidays at the same time

This is one is similar to the second idea from this list. It's a photo book with pictures of the biggest achievements and learning moments that your child had this past year. Seeing their hard work celebrated is sure to fill their little hearts with a sense of accomplishment and pride!

5. The makings of a hero

Last but not least, make your kid the hero of their own storybook, one in which they're on a quest to save Christmas! Find a way to trick them into taking pictures in different poses and outfits, think of a story, and easily drop them into the Mixbook photo book editor. It can be as simple or complex as you and your creativity wishes! You can use these themes from our Hello!Lucky collaboration, where all you need is a single photo on each page to create your story.

Speaking of heroes, PLAYMOBIL®: The Movie will be released December 6th, 2019, just in time for the holiday season. For an easy stocking suffer, surprise your kiddos with movie tickets to see this fantastic journey, full of action and adventure for the whole family!
