The 2025 Splurge-Worthy Gift Guide for Kids (and Parents with Exceptional Taste)

When you are looking for THE gift

It’s so true that less is more. Instead of wasting money on piles of cheap presents that won’t survive through New Year's, give a meaningful gift that will bring joy for years to come.  That special gift is an investment that can be used, passed down, or even resold. It’s the gift that kids gravitate towards time and time again, where the magic doesn’t wear off after a few days of play.  

We’ve put together the Luxury Gifts for Kids 2025 guide so you don’t have to do the work.  These high-end kids' toys have been put to the test and are the perfect splurge gift ideas for parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles!

2025 Luxury Gifts Kids Actually Love

The Play Couch (Figgy)

Soft furniture is a newer category for kids' playtime, but one you won’t want to skip.  For those new to the play couch world, it’s play furniture that encourages creativity while looking good in the modern home. It’s the foundation for imagination!  The Figgy play couch is the only luxury, fully modular play couch with velcro connectors. It’s 3x non-toxic certified, sustainably made in the USA, and comes in a variety of oh, so gorgeous fabrics.  

The Figgy can grow with your kid from toddler to adult. Kids start learning to walk and climb with their Figgy, transition into fort building and pretend-play, and later have a reading nook or homework spot.  Interchangeable covers allow you to update the look for any age.   The machine-washable covers and waterproof liners make sure your Figgy stays protected and looking its best.  

Aside from being fun and functional, the Figgy is great for kids with sensory sensitivities or as an at-home pediatric physical therapy tool.  The Figgy is the perfect addition to any playroom, bedroom, or living room and is sure to get daily use by everyone in the family!

What customers are saying: “My family really loves the Figgy play couch! My husband and I spend hours playing with my son, building forts and obstacle courses, using them as tumbling mats and towers, and everything in between. Our neighbor always wants to come over to build forts! The Figgy couch has been one of the best gifts we’ve given our son. I also deeply appreciate that they are manufactured using non-toxic materials. Thank you, Figgy team, for creating such a wonderful and safe product for kids!” - Ann J.

A Montessori Climbing Set

The Piccalio Piklar Triangle is perfect for the little one in your life. It’s made from Greenguard Gold certified materials and encourages kids to get active and learn to climb, jump, and explore safely.   The piklar triangle is fun alone, but add-ons really create the wow factor.  Pair it with the balance beam and slide options or a second piklar and a slide, and you’ve got an obstacle course setup that the kids won’t want to get off.  For older kids, they can use the pieces as bases for forts (hello, get that blanket out and build a cool fort).

Montessori climbing sets encourage hand-eye coordination, gross motor skill development, and help kids develop confidence. The versatile pieces can be switched around to create new constable course or different ways to play. 

What customers are saying: “2 year old loves it! Very sturdy. Love that it’s foldable. My son plays on it every day since we bought it. It’s now been 4 months since we got it.” - Sahar K.

Wooden Play Kitchen

Play kitchens are so popular for a reason! Kids love them and they are one of the best first holiday gifts to give. Kids as young as 6 months can get plenty of use from them.   There are lots of plastic options, where pieces pop off or stickers peel - since they are usually visible in a home and passed onto siblings, it’s wise to invest in one that will hold up against the test of time. 

The Milton & Goose Essential Play Kitchen 2 Piece Set is just what your kids want and need in a play set.   The kitchen and fridge combo comes in five beautiful colors, is made from high-quality eco-friendly wood, and is coated with non-toxic finishers.  Every piece of this design is thoughtfully crafted.  No more broken nobs or doors falling off, this set is built to last for generations.  Just add some play food and watch your kids serve you breakfast from their diner, make you special cups of coffee, and get lost in the world of play time. 

What customers are saying: Unbelievable Quality! We purchased this for our 3 kids (5,3,2) for Christmas and the quality is unbelievable! It’s very well made and my husband couldn’t believe how easy it was to set-up.  - Brooke

A Designer Kids Table + Chairs Set

Kids tables are the perfect way to save your kitchen table and make a special spot for your kid’s to eat, play, and craft.  When investing in a kid’s table, you want to avoid buying something too small that they won’t get much use out of. The Washed Oak Play Table by WE Kids paired with the Elora Storage Mushroom Play Poufs by WE Kids is the perfect size for growing kids - the poufs have the added bonus of storing craft items or toys.  

The table is large enough to seat several kids and has a modern profile. It’s the best spot in the house for lego building, MagnaTiles, or homework.  The aesthetic blends into any playroom or bedroom and the seats come in several colors.  The rounded corners mean to sharp-edges and the seats can be replaced by chairs as kids get older. 

What customers are saying:  One of the BEST purchases I’ve made for my toddler. - Arielle
