The Kids Christmas Edit

OCT 13|3 min read

Bring Christmas magic to their space with playful kids’ Christmas décor, festive bedding and styling inspiration for the most wonderful time of year.

From the moment they go to sleep on Christmas Eve, memories are formed for kids that last a lifetime. It’s the little details that create a sense of wonder for your children – but that doesn’t mean you need to blow your budget on kid’s Christmas gifts or plan months in advance. To bring the magic of Christmas to life, this guide covers the special touches that make a festive difference. Bring the family together with these essential elements of your kid’s Christmas.

Building the Countdown:
Advent Calendars & Countdown Lights

Half the magic of Christmas is in the countdown. Chocolate calendars may be delicious, but they don’t last. Quality fabric advent calendars on the other hand can help your family start the countdown to Christmas for years to come. Choose an advent calendar that compliments your kid’s style and bedroom decor for cohesive festivity. 
 
Create a little moment of Christmas magic each day with the Kids Christmas Cheer Clear Countdown Light. Make it part of their festive routine as the big day gets closer, building excitement and bringing a playful Christmas touch to their space.
 
When it’s time to display your advent calendar, make sure to match it to your kid’s height so that they can interact with it. Place it where kids can easily reach and open pockets or drawers themselves, to build excitement and support independence. 

Ready for Santa:
Santa Sacks & Christmas Stockings

Many of our childhood Christmases featured stockings or Santa Sacks. Though grandparents may remember using literal stockings, modern versions of this festive classic have transformed with quality materials. By opting for curated and long-lasting designs, your stockings or sacks will keep for years and become a recognisable part of the family tradition.

The traditional place to hang stockings may be over a fireplace, but summer Christmases in Australia mean your styling is up to you! We suggest placing sacks or stockings at the foot of beds for kids to open their eyes to first thing on Christmas morning.

Matching Pyjama party tradition:
Christmas pyjamas

More than anything, Christmas is a time to spend with those you love. Matching family PJs keep everyone comfortable for a cosy morning together, and also make for some styled festivity. For a cohesive feel that also keeps you cool in summer, opt for pyjama shorts and shirt sets.

Consider making matching pyjamas a Christmas gift for kids tradition. Have your kids open up their pyjamas as a first joint present as they get ready for bed the night before, as a way to help everyone embrace the occasion.

Festive Style Without the Clutter:
Kids Christmas Bedroom

It can be tempting to dive into festivity, but adding too many decorative items can cause clutter. You shouldn’t feel pressured to transform your entire home space into a wonderland in order to embrace Christmas – and by opting for a few curated elements, you’ll keep things chic.

One area to consider are bedrooms, specifically bedlinen. Christmas quilt covers, pillowcases and cushions help your kids go to bed and wake up feeling festive. If you prefer subtle nods over prints and iconography, style Christmas at home with green, white or red-toned homewares that work year-round.

What to give the kids who already have everything:
Christmas Gifts Beyond Toys

For family members like grandparents, uncles and aunts, it can be a little tricky to know what to give children when parents have the major presents covered. Alongside the presents kids have been begging for, Christmas is an opportunity to give memorable and practical items that will help enhance their year ahead.

Beyond toys, consider things that will make a big difference year-round and transform daily activities. Items like kids beach towels, teepees, night lights and cuddle chairs help parents out with useful items and still genuinely excite kids.

A Quick Gift Guide

Shop By Age

Kids' interests change quickly, and it can feel tricky to keep up. Christmas gifts should delight your kids while supporting their development and growth at their particular stage of life. To help, let’s break down gifting ideas by age:

  • Babies & Toddlers (0–4) Comfort, safety and sensory development is key at this age. Opt for kid’s Christmas presents like soft toys and gentle night lights to create a soothing environment. 

  • School Age (5–12) For kids in school, presents which spark imagination and independence support growth. Choose items that help create a sense of personal style like fun bedlinen that reflects their interests, or playful teepees for creative spaces. 

  • Tweens (12+) Consider items that balance your tween’s emerging style with longevity. Statement decor pieces will help tweens express their personality, while quality upgrades to premium bedlinen help foster a sense of pride in belongings.

What are good non-toy Christmas gifts for kids?

Go for practical but special gifts: cosy bedlinen sets, small furniture items, fun dressing gowns. You can also choose useful homewares that bring a sense of newness to rooms instead of adding unnecessary clutter. 

 

What age is an advent calendar suitable for?

Advent calendars are typically suitable from around age 3+. At this stage, children understand daily routines and can enjoy opening one item per day.

 

How do I make a child's bedroom feel festive for Christmas?

You can make bedrooms festive with soft touches like themed bedlinen. From there, add in warm lighting and include one focal piece such as a Christmas tree or advent calendar to build excitement.

 

What’s the best way to store Christmas decorations after the holidays?

Once your family has enjoyed the festive season, using labelled storage boxes will help keep delicate decorations and seasonal bedding safe for next year. Cotton storage bags are breathable and help avoid moisture build-up.
