We want to give them the best, yet emphasize the value of human relationships and self-awareness over material possessions.

These products are educational and have social value while allowing kids to have age appropriate fun. Here are just a few of CEOMOM’s favorite kid friendly gifts for this holiday season.

We are absolutely in love with this subscription service and believe that every parent of color should purchase this subscription for their children. According to their website, “The Just Like Me! Book Box was built on the foundation of exposing children of color to literature, characters, authors and stories that are reflective of them.” Founder Tamara McNeil believes that everybody should read black children’s literature. CEOMOM couldn’t agree more. Black children’s literature is a part of American culture and should be celebrated by all.
How It Works

One of the best gifts you can give your children is an introduction to the world around them. Making them aware that the globe is full of rich culture and traditions that are as diverse as they are complex, will prepare them to have an impact outside their communities. Founders, Amy and Stella, are two moms with a shared vision to inspire children to learn about the world. This is a perfect gift for your little ones starting at age 3, because of its fun and educational value.
