12 Ultra-Fun Birthday Gifts for Kids of All Ages
Updated by Timothy Paradis
For as much fun as strolling through toy aisles can be, it also can be downright intimidating and overwhelming. Plenty of sensory stimulation with bright colors, sounds and lights, but when you’re looking for the perfect gift, it isn’t all fun and games.
Searching for birthday gifts for kids, whether they're your own children, your
nieces
and
nephews
, or classmates and friends, always carries a risk of picking up something they won’t enjoy or getting duplicates of games and toys they already have.
We’ve got an idea for a gift that we think is even more memorable and delightful. A gift box from one of the many
kid-friendly subscriptions
on the Cratejoy marketplace is a great way to gift a surprise they’re sure to be excited about. Whether you opt for just one box or a monthly subscription, they’ll get plenty of joy just from the mystery of it. Curated especially for children, here are some of our top choices for birthday gifts for kids.
Paletteful Packs brings artists open-ended creativity! These monthly gift sets include a curated selection of top-quality art supplies and materials.

Customer Review
“First box was a complete delight for the two 3-year-olds in my care. They were completely engaged with the art/science/exploration materials for several hours. The families appreciated that everything included is recyclable. I loved that everything I needed was in the box and I could see them learning as they played. It's just what I hoped for.” – Tyra M.
