A curated collection of the most beautifully made, thoughtful holiday gifts for children — chosen with Hamptons adventures, family traditions, and imaginative play in mind.
For our Hamptons children’s gift guide, I put together a list of the best holiday gifts for children— pieces that are beautifully made, thoughtfully designed, and actually stand up to real family life. And because so many of our readers spend their winters Out East, this guide leans into what works especially well for Hamptons families: cozy essentials, imaginative play, and toys built for afternoons exploring the . These are the standouts for the 2025 season.
THE BEST HOLIDAY PAJAMAS: PETIT PLUME
Petit Plume is always one of my favorite holiday gifts for Hamptons families. Their pajamas are luxurious and buttery soft — made from Peruvian pima cotton or twill — and they offer both relaxed-fit sets and snug-fit styles for little ones.
This year’s prints are beautiful: holiday tartans in Windsor, Imperial, Oxford, and Kensington; sweet seasonal designs like Chalet Toile, Vintage Sweets, and Sugarplum Fairy; and of course their iconic La Toile, available in both sets and nightgowns. They also offer matching family sets and monogramming, which makes everything feel extra special.
If you want something cozy, classic, and beautifully made, Petit Plume is a perfect choice for the season.
MICRO KICKBOARD: THE ULTIMATE HOLIDAY SCOOTER FOR HAMPTONS KIDS
Micro Kickboard is the award-winning scooter brand kids love and parents trust. The scooters are Swiss-designed, incredibly smooth, and built to last. We love that their lineup ranges from babies to adults, so the whole family can ride together.
This year, I love the Micro Mini LED Scooter with its motion-activated light-up wheels (no batteries!) and an adjustable handlebar that grows with kids ages 2–5. The new Mini Glow Plus LED is another favorite — the deck, handgrips, brake, and T-bar logo all glow in the dark after soaking up UV light. The new neon colors are also so fun.
Their accessories are endlessly imaginative: think Rocket, Unicorn, and 3-D Scooterasaurus helmets, plus baskets, bells, streamers, and Scootaheadz that instantly personalize any ride. Many scooters fold down with ease, ideal for tossing in the trunk for weekends Out East.
AIR TOOBZ BY FAT BRAIN TOYS: HOTTEST TOY OF 2025
Air Toobz is one of the hottest toys of the year and it completely sold out last season. Kids can arrange the tubes and connectors any way they like: loops, swirls, under tables, over desks. Then they switch on the kid-safe fan and watch foam balls race through their creations. My kids tested it and had the time of their lives.
The toy comes from Fat Brain Toys, an award-winning brand known for its high-quality, thoughtfully designed playthings. Since launching their own toy line in 2006, The Fat Brain Collection has earned numerous industry awards and has been featured on the TODAY Show, The Tonight Show, The New York Times, and The Wall Street Journal.
There are fantastic add-ons too: the Expansion Pack, the adorable Toobzters (five fluffy little furballs that fly through the machine like cute cannonballs), and the Air Toobz Whirlwind Accessory Pack.
It is fast paced, creative play that blends energy with STEM learning and is perfect for high energy Hamptons winter days. And with the expansion sets and Toobzters, it only gets better.
PETIT MAISON KIDS: THE PERFECT HOLIDAY DRESSES FOR NEWBORN TO 12 YEARS
Founded by Katerina Azarova and inspired by the elegance of European children’s fashion, Petit Maison Kids has grown into one of the most admired luxury childrenswear labels for impeccably crafted special-occasion pieces. Azarova is often noted as one of the most meticulous designers in the category, known for her precise attention to detail and couture-level construction. Over the years, the brand has developed a devoted following, including several celebrity clients who return to it season after season.
This season’s holiday collection leans into rich textures and classic silhouettes. There are velvets in deep jewel tones, crisp plaids that feel instantly nostalgic, airy tulles that catch the light, and soft lines that offer just enough volume. Look closely and you’ll find the details that define the brand: bow-back ties, embroidered collars, tiny covered buttons, hems finished with care.
For families dressing little ones for Christmas Eve, holiday portraits, school concerts, or winter gatherings in the Hamptons, these dresses strike that rare balance of festive and refined. They read beautifully in photographs, yet remain comfortable enough for children to actually enjoy wearing. Petit Maison Kids delivers style that becomes a joyful holiday memory and a keepsake.
TEAMSON FARM STAND: THE HAMPTONS MARKET EXPERIENCE FOR KIDS
Farm stands are iconic Out East, and this Teamson Kids Farmers Market Stand captures that charm perfectly. Children can pick veggies from the garden boxes, weigh them on the working scale, write prices on the chalkboard, and “sell” their harvest.
With 25 interactive pieces — including wooden vegetables, potted plants, an apron, and a shopping bag — it encourages creativity, confidence, counting, and healthy habits. It’s a wonderful gift for kids who love Round Swamp, Amber Waves, or simply helping in the kitchen.
