Brisbane Kids- the official guide to child friendly brisbane

  • AboutBrisbane Kids Creative was created by me! Ngaire Stirling. I wont pretend to talk in the third person about myself, instead let me tell you a bit about me and how 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came about. At the time the domain name 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for purchase I was a stay at home mum in the middle of a degree centred around journalism and PR. a couple of years earlier I had been contemplating returning to my previous career in marketing management and for a while I even tried. 3 months into a new role and it was clear that I had no passion for my old life and to make the decision to quit easier, my almost 2 year old at the time was not coping with childcare. So, as a family we made the decision for me to return to becoming a stay at home mum. About 1 years later or so.. 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for sale. My friends had often commented on my ability to know exactly what was happening in Brisbane for kids. I had my son enrolled in some awesome activities and we often visited some great destinations. I loved finding fun things for us to doโ€ฆ

90 Present Ideas for Kids Who Have Everything

Last updated: October 11, 2024
A girl opening a gift.

While we know special occasions are usually a happy time for giving and receiving, we also appreciate gift giving can cause many headaches. Perhaps you havenโ€™t got to fully know the child you are purchasing gifts for, or maybe you havenโ€™t been to their house  so you’re not sure what they already have.

We want gift-giving to be as stress-free as possible for you and your family, which is why we have compiled this extensive list of gift suggestions which are perfect for the child who appears to have everything.

NB. While we have grouped the gift ideas into age categories, this is just a guide. Of course you may find suggestions in other age-groups that are just perfect for the child you are buying for. So take a look through all of the lists and be inspired to get shopping.
