5 Christmas Gifts for Kids Under $25

Christmas is an amazing time of year for kids, however for parents and other adults it can be a truly hectic and stressful one, especially in today’s economy. However, just because the economy is in tough shape and money is tight, that doesn’t mean there aren’t affordable gifts that kids will love. Truth be told, there’s an abundance of Christmas gifts for kids for under $25 and some of the best are actually free. With truly affordable gifts, Christmas can be an amazing time of year for everyone.

Take a look at these gift ideas and see which ones your kids will enjoy.

1. Little kids love anything colorful and fun and a name board puzzle with bright, colorful letters with their name on it where they can manipulate shapes, learn letters and learn how their name is spelled is a great Christmas gift for kids. Not only will they love playing with it but parents will love the educational aspects of it.
2. Kids in kindergarten and in the first couple of years of elementary school especially love to explore their artistic side and proud parents love to show off their art masterpieces. Gifts like refrigerator magnets that not only are strong enough to hold up even the largest artwork but are uplifting and supportive of the kids by being personalized is an awesome gift for under $25.
3. For kids that are a little older, “treat” coupons are a truly neat kids’ Christmas gift. They can “cash them in” for treats like spending the night at their friend’s house, getting to skip chores for an evening, getting to pick the movie on movie night and even getting to pick the restaurant to eat at when the family goes out is a cool thing to be able to do. 
4. One thing that makes for a neat gift or stocking stuffer is a personalized room sign. Kid’s want their own space and being able to define that space with a personalized “caution” sign with a humorous twist such as “Disaster Zone” etc. not only gives the kids the space they want but anyone reading the sign can pretty much get a chuckle out of it every time. 
5. A great Christmas gift for kids that you know they’ll love and definitely get a lot of use out of is a coin counter. Digital coin counters are an easy way for kids to keep track of their money and as many opportunities as they have to collect change, it makes for a great way to encourage them to put it in the coin counter instead of spending it.
   

It doesn’t take a lot to make kids happy about what they get for Christmas and having lots of great gifts for kids that are under $25 means parents don’t have to break the bank to give kids great gifts.
