2025-2026 Gift Ideas

This post is all about our 2025-2026 gift ideas for children, teens, and us adults too!

Don’t let Christmas or birthdays for loved ones be a cause of anxiety. I’m sharing some of my favorite gift ideas that we have personally given to friends, coaches, relatives, ministry leaders, etc., that we have been excited about giving. Scroll through and see if any of these ideas are a match for you!

This year, I’m only including things we have purchased for others as gifts or for ourselves. Some items are great for a generic gift when you are not familiar with their specific interests, and some are more personalized.

Since are family has an elementary, middle school, and high schooler, it will show in our gifting! Our family is in a stage where we need to know all ages of interests, which is fun. Gift giving is a way I enjoy showing appreciation for our relationships, and bring a lot of joy!

• The Best Family Ever series
• The Vanderbeekers series
• The Heartwood Hotel series
• The Lightkeepers series for girls and for boys
• Patricia St. John series

If you’re looking for more stand alone books, here is a full list of our favorite family read-alouds and books for 3rd through 5th graders that have been a hit!

Other gifts for kids that have been worth the cost in terms of usage, practicality, and sometimes just for endless fun:

• Spike ball game

Gift Ideas for Teens

Now that we are deep into these teenage years, it is actually really fun to shop for them! Here are some of our tried and true gifts given and received!

• Phone Cases (use “TTrisha15” for a discount) – we love this brand! Just make sure to check what phone your favorite teen to select the correct size case.
• First phone (use “JUICEBOX” for a discount or freebie)
• New Mattress (use “TRISHAV” for a discount) – this made a world of a difference for our teen’s moods. Great sleep = happy families!
• Fun face masks

Here is my list of books I’ve either read with my teen or I have given to parents of teens. All of these have been instrumental in shaping my seasons of parenting!

I’ve stocked up my past purchases into this list for more gift ideas for teens.

Gift Ideas for Mom Friends, Teachers, Ministry Leaders, etc.

This is my favorite section because they are all things I love and use often! We try to give things we personally enjoy ourselves, which makes it easy. These are mostly geared toward women!

• Miracle Balm – my favorite make up brand carries this lovely product!
• Pretty pens – you know I love a great planning tool, and this pen set is so good.
• Home Planner – I have been using this for years to help me stay on top of all of the things!
• Shoe cleaner – we use this for the whole family
• Gift card for the 5’4″ and shorter women – I love this subscription and have finally found pants that don’t need the extra charge of tailoring
• Clothing for all women (use code “TRISHA10” for 10% off) – my go-to source for all things pretty, comfy, and neutral
• Lift Your Eyes – devotion book for moms of all seasons
• Portable cooling system – this has saved me a lot of money without having to chill the whole house when it is warm!
• Weighted vest – I picked the camo pattern to feel tough haha.
• Walking pad – pricier, but if you’re looking for something to get you moving daily without the hassle of getting outside with kids, this is it!
