WHAT TO GET A(n) (almost) 5-YEAR-OLD, MOM & DAD- OUR REAL FAMILY GIFT WISH LIST

December 10, 2025 Britt Johnson
 

Filling out our lists together with Atlas giggling over glow sticks and Dad debating camera lenses made me cherish those little holiday moments. It’s not about how many gifts end up under the tree. It’s about knowing what each of us values, what brings us joy or comfort, and what reminds us who we are. Maybe we get some items. Maybe we don’t. But this list? It’s our wishlist- for gifts, for magic, for memories. Its for an almost 5 year old Capricorn, who knows exactly what he wants. Its for a busy mom and dad who are still trying to figure out their identity and sanity and deserve a few specials things for their hard work.

Here’s a peek into our lists, in case you’re shopping for someone(s) like us.
