5. Box of Healthy Brownies
Cakes and Christmas go hand in hand and Christmas Brownies or those delicious classic fudges can be a great Christmas Gift Exchange option. Try something unique this year by baking healthy ‘Zucchini Brownies’ for the little ones. Don’t forget to decorate the brownie box with your creative skills.

You may also create handmade DIY soaps that can be made using natural materials such as coconut oil, olive oil, beer, cocoa butter, beeswax and enchanting fragrances of essential oils. To tune up with the Christmas spirit, give these handmade soaps the shape of gingerbread, snowman, Santa, or perhaps a Christmas tree.
7. Fingerling Monkeys

Nurture the gardening skills of the young ones by gifting them a bag of mini-garden where they can grow their very own basil, mint, tomato, parsley and various other herbs. These bags are self-sustained plant growing eco-systems that contain soil and nutrient rich growing mediums, drainage systems and provisions to plant seeds. All your little one would need to do is to add water daily and keep it under the sun to see tiny leaves sprout up in less than two weeks. Isn’t it one of the best Christmas Gift Ideas?
