So Christmas is at Grandma’s house this year which requires Santa to pack up his (read, her) sack and schlep across the countryside to deliver little Johnny’s presents. Santa needs these gifts to be lightweight, easily packable and able to arrive unsquished, unsquashed and unshattered, ready for placement under Granny’s perfectly trimmed tree.
Here are our Top 10 Packable Kids’ Gifts for this Holiday Season. Add them to your packing list…
ONE…
Sushi Dinner, $30 – Wool felt play food introduces your child to the wonders of international cuisine – maybe they’ll try the wasabi on your next trip to your favorite sushi bar? If not, there’s always a pancake breakfast.
TWO…
Black Super Me! Cape & Cuffs, $48 – Let their imagination fly with this personalized super hero cape (pink ones also available) and add a mask, $8, for extra super powers!
THREE…
UrbanEars Plattan Headphones, $60 – If your teen really must rock out in their room instead of listening to Grandpa’s war stores, at least make them look good doing it. Available in every color of the teenage mood rainbow.
FOUR…
Lace a Doll Dress-Up, $15 – Not only will this gift keep your little one entertained for hours on Christmas Day (so you can have a little power nap after lunch) but imagine the quiet trip home as their imagination is kept busy dressing and lacing these dolls.
FIVE…
Little Packrats Bunny Backpack, $35 – Is this not the cutest backpack EVER?! While 3D bunny is munching on his secret stash of crunchy carrots printed on the back, you can fill him with goodies for the plane trip home.
SIX…
Mini Air Hockey Table, $36 – If you thought we couldn’t find a pint-size game table for your resident sports’ fan then you totally underestimated us! All the fun you can pack into a table the size of a large shoe box.
SEVEN…
Mama K’s Aromatic Play Clay, $24 for set of 5 – This 100% natural modeling clay is made only with Gluten Free flours and essential oils, proving that it’s not what you put into a toy that makes it great, it’s what you can make out of it.
EIGHT…
Flexible Roll-Up Piano, $58 – So you’ve got a little Mozart in the family, but your budget and your suitcase don’t stretch to a baby grand? Here’s just the thing…
NINE…

Funki Trunki by Melissa & Doug, $40 – Ok, so maybe this one won’t fit IN your suitcase, because it IS a suitcase, specifically designed for little tikes. They can pull it along themselves, sit on it and scoot, or you can give them a ride while they straddle and hold on! You can even add these cute saddle bags for extra storage and comfort for their derrière.
