17 Unique Kids Gifts, From Candy-Making Kits to Fort-Building Sets

Finding the perfect present for kids can be tricky, whether you're shopping for a 4-year-old or your favorite teens. You want it to be special and something that resonates with their hobbies. More importantly, you want them to actually use it - which puts some added pressure on you as the gift buyer. Another obstacle? Shopping for kids who seemingly have everything. What do you get them? In this case, finding an uber-unique gift that will knock their socks off is key. Being thoughtful is what matters most - and having an eye for the uncommon won't hurt. Sometimes, nostalgia and integrating in gifts that you loved as a kid is a great place to start. (And this list has lots of that!) An added bonus: there are tons of affordable options. Most of the gifts on this list are under $100. We found a range of tech gifts, crafts, decor finds, and so much more. These unique gifts will bring a smile to any kid's face this holiday season - even if you think they already have everything. Keep reading to shop our top gifts for kids ahead.
