25+ Elementary School Birthday Gifts

Looking for elementary school birthday gifts for the next party your child gets invited to? Here are some of our go-to gifts!

Hi friends!

School is back in session and for us that tends to mean a fair number of birthday party invites. Now that my kids are in elementary school and we’ve been to a few years of parties, I wanted to round up a list of some of our go-to present ideas.

I know the amount of money spent on gifts varies by family so I’ve tried to include a varitey of price points. Some gifts are up to $30 – maybe something you would gift a close friend, while others are under $10 and a great choice for a school classmate you may not know all that well. Most are around $15 – $20.

I’ve tried to provide a link for each option but remember that there are tons of different brands out there and that often things go on sale throughout the year. If you find a gift you like and are able to, stocking up on a couple of them when they go on sale can be a great option!

Or if you see an idea you like, but it’s too expensive, try searching for a different brand!

This is not meant to be an all-inclusive list…just 25 or so of our favorite ideas to get those gift-giving creative juices flowing.
