7 Fun Ways to Give Your Kids Underwear as a Gift
How to spruce up those bare necessities.
Do you give your kids underwear as a gift? I mean, you do, right? (I do!) Undies can be a great and exciting gift for a child who is potty training, but maybe not so much for an older child. Yet we all resort at some point to giving basic necessities as a holiday or birthday gift because money is tight or because it’s convenient or because we’re delusional and we think kids will actually think getting those cute new undies from Target as a present is cool. Chances are though, our kids are probably just being nice when they thank us for these necessities as heartily as they do the toys we bestow on them. So I’ve come up with some cute and clever ways to slip those undies into a gift package that will make giving them a lot more fun for both you and your kid. Let me know what you think!
-
Give character undies with matching beauty/fashion items.
These Dora the Explorer panties make a great gift packaged alongside a Dora nail set, Dora bracelets with lip gloss and Dora high-top kicks!
-
Work with a super-hero theme!
Buy your son these Lego Batman briefs with matching Batman pajamas and top it off with the new Lego Batman 2 video game!
-
Sprinkle some fairy dust on those undies...
...by wrapping these Disney Fairies briefs up with a fun coloring book/marker set and Color Surprise Tink, whose wings can change color to match whatever pair of panties your girl chooses to wear each day.
-
Give them with an outfit that features the same motif.
These floral panties will look adorable packaged with these foral leggings and purple henley!
-
Give tighty-whities with a book celebrating their awesomeness!
-
Give days of the week undies with a calendar and planner.
Help your young elementary schooler get his or her days in order with days of the week undies (I bought the Paul Frank set displayed here for my daughter at Target last year, but they're not selling them online right now), a cute cat calendar and a fun Uglydoll school planner for kids ages 4-8.
-
Use undies as a hint in a series of larger gifts on a theme.
Start with these My Little Pony panties, followed by this My Little Pony plush pillow and the big finish: My Little Pony bedding!
Plus, here are the gifts I think your child will love from the Target and Neiman Marcus collection!

Haha! I love it! I’ll have to keep this in mind one day, because what kid wants the gift of underwear?
