🎁 WHAT DO YOU BUY A KID WHO LOVES MYSTERIES?

Kid Detectives

Besides a trench coat, a fake mustache, and permission to interrogate the family at Thanksgiving? 😂🔎

If you have a curious kid or teen in your life—the kind who asks 47 questions before breakfast, notices things you were hoping they wouldn’t notice, and considers “just one more chapter” a legally binding contract—I have a few ideas.

Give them something that feeds that curiosity. Here's what you buy a kid who loves mysteries.

📚 A great mystery book 🔎 A magnifying glass—because apparently everything looks more suspicious through one 📝 A detective notebook for clues, theories, and possibly evidence against their siblings 🔦 A small flashlight for investigating things after bedtime. Not that I’m encouraging that. Ahem. 🧩 Ciphers, puzzles, and secret codes 💡 A reading light for the famous “I WASN’T READING! I WAS SLEEPING!” defense 🎒 A backpack or bag to hold all that highly classified detective equipment🗝️ Mystery accessories and little surprises

Or go completely overboard—which, frankly, is my preferred method—and get them our Holiday Gift Box. Includes our first 3 books in English or Spanish.

You can even hide their gift and make them solve clues to find it.

Yes, technically you are making them WORK for their present.

I call that character building. 😂

And gifts don’t have to be things.

Take them to an escape room. Plan a scavenger hunt. Visit a historic place. Create a family mystery night.

Because the best gift for a curious kid isn’t necessarily the biggest or most expensive one.

It’s something that makes them think, question, explore, imagine, and say…

🕵️ “WAIT. I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT!”

That’s what I love about mysteries.

They teach kids to pay attention to the things everyone else walks right past.

And you never know…

The next great detective may already be living in your house.

Although if your cookies keep disappearing, I’d start the investigation there. 🍪🔎😂
