Children's Furniture Gift Ideas for Christmas

Toddler Bed

• Many parents decide to transition their kids from a crib to a bed after they reach the age of two. A toddler bed can be a fun Christmas gift for both the child and the parents. The beds are low to the ground and may contain guard rails to prevent your child from falling out. Some can be configured to accept a crib bed and then eventually a twin-sized mattress. Most importantly, toddler beds come in a number of shapes, sizes and prices so you can buy a pink princess bed for your daughter or one in the shape of a car for your future Formula One racer.

Preschooler Toy Chest

• If you don't want toys cluttering your house, you should teach your children to put their toys away after they are done with them. This can be accomplished by buying your child a storage chest for their bedroom and/or living room. Wooden toy chests come in traditional colors to match your furniture or you can purchase fabric-covered or plastic toy chests. Prices can range from less than $80 to more than $500 (as of February 2011) depending on your budget.

Tween Anywhere Chair

• Just like adults, children need a chair in which they can read or just kick back. Today, most chairs that are made for adults are also made for children. Childrenschairs.com makes faux leather recliners that your kids can relax in and Pottery Barn Kids sells overstuffed chairs and loungers in various patterns. The chairs cost less than $300 each, as of February 2011.

Teen Bean Bag Chair

• Popular in the early 1970s, bean bag chairs are making a comeback. Today's bean bag chairs contain the same stuffing --- plastic pellets --- but the outsides come in more shapes, sizes and colors than ever before. Your children can relax and watch the television or read in the traditional round size, the lounger or the square-shaped pillow. Bean bag chairs come in a multitude of fabrics including cotton, twill, vinyl or even micro-suede.
