Best Holiday Gifts for Siblings to Share

Ensuring that your child has a magical holiday season is one of the most special (and stressful) times of the year. Your winter days are most likely jam-packed with matching outfit photo opps, festive outings, family holiday traditions and of course, buying gifts. Shopping for one kid is hectic enough. Shopping for multiple kids is why spiked eggnog exists.

Not only will your wallet take a hit from all that holiday cheer, but you also have to be prepared for sibling rivalry if you have more than one kid. Surely, one (if not all) of your children will get jealous of their sibling’s gift(s). They’ll compare their holiday haul to their sister’s and find something to complain about, no matter how mindful you were of being “fair.” They’ll say their brother got everything he wanted on his list but they didn’t. But before you add that rum to your eggnog, we’ve got a new plan for your holiday shopping this year: sibling gifts!

These are presents that your kids can play with together (and bonus: they can be addressed to both or all of them to avoid fights). Sibling gifts can be experiences, like a membership to your local zoo or children’s museum; two of the same product (think walkie talkies or baby dolls); or toys that siblings can share, like puzzles, games or crafts.

We can’t promise these gifts will stop the fighting, because it’s what siblings do best, but they will make things just a little less stressful when it comes to holiday shopping, and who doesn’t love that?

Here are some of our favorite picks for gifts for siblings to share—and don’t forget to add these to your holiday wishlist, right here on Babylist!.
