It’s true what they say: kids make every single holiday more fun. I’ve always loved Christmas, but having George (and another one coming any day now!) makes me love it even more. There’s nothing better than seeing the sheer delight on the face of a kiddo unwrapping gifts on Christmas Day.

Their lists to Santa are sure to provide some helpful insight, but there’s nothing like a surprise. Who doesn’t love an unexpected treat? You’ll find plenty of those and more here: a gift guide just for littles. From the best buys for newborns (this gift is my favorite!) and sure-thing toys for toddlers to under-$50 gifts that will thrill even the hardest-to-please teens, this curation covers it all.

Below, a sneak peek at some of my favorites.
