How To Choose The Perfect Gift Crate For Any Kid

How To Choose The Perfect Gift Crate For Any Kid

Gifting for kids should be joy-packed—but let’s be real: when shelves are full and closets are brimming, finding the perfect surprise can feel impossible. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or the “cool” aunt or uncle, you want your gift to stand out and get a big, happy grin. At Untamed Post, we believe every kiddo deserves a wow-worthy present tailored just for them, no matter the occasion. Ready to ditch the generic toys and give something truly magical? Here’s how you can pick the ideal gift crate for any child (even when it seems they already have everything). 

Why Custom Gift Crates Are an Instant Win 

Forget the boring old “gift basket” filled with snacks and socks. Imagine a box bursting with creative, screen-free goodies—picked just for a child’s unique personality! Custom gift crates take the guesswork (and stress) out of gifting: 

Handpicked Goodies: Each crate is thoughtfully packed with age-appropriate, high-quality surprises. Think drawing kits for little artists, fidgets for focus-lovers, or experiment sets for your budding scientist. No Candy, No Clutter: You won’t find any junk or sugar rushes here. Just pure, creative fun! 

Personal Touches: Every crate is finished with a handmade pom-pom garland and a handwritten note—it’s happy mail with heart. 

Crates from Untamed Post make it easy for you to send a gift in a basket that delights from the very first peek. 

The Art of Matching the Perfect Crate to the Perfect Kid 

Finding a gift that truly resonates starts with thinking about who the receiver is—not just their age, but their dreams, quirks, and current obsessions! Here’s our secret sauce: 

1. Discover Their Passions 

Is your giftee a crafty creator? Future engineer? Outdoor adventurer? Let their interests lead the way. 

For the mini maker: Opt for art supplies like drawing accessories or DIY kits that encourage hands-on creation. 

Little scientist or explorer: Science experiment kits, nature journals, or quirky gadgets keep curious minds whirring. 

Traveling kiddo: Go for compact games, quiet fidget toys, or a kid-sized traveler tote for road trip fun. 

Asking parents or observing their interests is a surefire way to build a crate that feels personal and exciting. 

2. Add Creative Touches for a Unique Experience 

Nothing says “you’re special” like a gift that celebrates what a child loves. 

Pick items that let them be the designer: Think accessories or crafts that they can decorate themselves. 

Choose a color scheme or theme: Are they unicorn-crazy or all-about-dinosaurs? Themed crates spark excitement and feel tailored just for them. 

Gifts that let kids express themselves—with stickers, paints, patches, or build-your-own kits—always lead to the biggest smiles! 

3. Think Occasion and “Wow!” Factor 

Some moments call for a little extra pizzazz. Birthdays, holidays, or even “get well soon” wishes are all perfect excuses to spoil a kiddo with a one-of-a-kind crate. When you’re stuck on what to get a kid that has everything for Christmas, customized gifts for christmas (like a crate packed with their favorite things) are unforgettable. 

Personalize Your Gift By Honoring Their Unique Style 

Wondering how to make your gift crate stand out and feel truly personal? It’s all about picking items that make them feel seen and celebrated—no monograms necessary! Kids absolutely adore gifts that recognize their interests and give them space to express themselves. Here are some imaginative ways to do it: 

Design-Your-Own Pencil Cases: Let them pick decals, stickers, or iron-on patches to craft a pouch as unique as they are. It’s about choice and creativity! 

DIY Keychains & Bag Tags: Fun shapes and charms they can assemble or decorate, perfect for backpacks, lunchboxes, or jackets—reflecting their favorite themes, colors, or hobbies. Custom Art Projects: Include a blank item—like a canvas, puzzle, or tote bag—with supplies so they can decorate it their way, choosing colors and patterns that speak to their personality. 

You don’t need names or initials to make something feel personal. Choosing crate contents that reflect a child’s current passions—unicorns, dinosaurs, outer space, sports, or just their favorite shades—shows them that you “get” who they are. That’s the magic that makes your gift memorable! 

Creative Alternatives to Generic Gifts 

If you’re bored of basic big-box toys, we get it! The best unique gifts spark imagination, offer new experiences, and show extra thought. 

Craft or STEM Project Kits: These keep hands busy and brains buzzing long after the big day. 

Happy Mail Surprises: A colorful crate, festive packaging, and a surprise inside—that’s a recipe for real excitement.
