Like everyone else, I’m trying to get all my holiday shopping done early this year. I don’t know why the pressure is on this year to have it all done, but I’m definitely succumbing to it. I’ve rounded up gifts for her, gifts for guys, stocking stuffers, hostesses, and teachers, and now, I’m focusing on finding Christmas presents for the kiddies. I know there are tons of gift guides out there right now, but I always like the hyper specific roundups when shopping for my own kids (broken down by their exact age and gender), so I am sharing just that on here. It helps me get organized and find some super cool gifts, and I think it’s more helpful than “gifts for little boys” because their preferences and skill sets change so much each year. I rounded up the best holiday gifts for 5 year olds boys from my own research of toys that James loves playing with that we own or that he is asking for and loves playing with at other kids’ houses, or from recs from my mom squad. I included a mix of educational and fun gifts — I think for the holidays, a mix of both is nice and have updated it with some fun options that are out this year.
In rounding up my favorite holiday gifts for 5 year old boys, I tried very hard not to include any that would break within 10 minutes or that would only hold their attention for 5 minutes. I really prefer to invest in toys that my kids will play with over and over again and that will keep them occupied. I also want to know that when they’re playing, their brains are being stimulated while they’re having fun. I hope this round up makes it easier for you to shop for your growing little guys. Here are my favorite holiday gifts for 5 year old boys.

These are great ideas! When it comes to gifts for kids, personalised children’s books come to mind. Personalised books are a fun and easy option for gift giving. You’ll create a unique story with their name, image, and other details, printed and bound like any other book. It’s a fun story and a keepsake they’ll treasure for many years to come.
