In anticipation of our Holiday Gift Guide launching next week, we wanted to share some of our favorite nativity sets. In the midst of all the glitter, garland, and tinsel, the constant visual reminder in our homes of a nativity set points us back to the meaning of Christmas, to baby Jesus in the manger. We also wanted to share because so many of these sets sell out early in the season! We’ve found both child-friendly, collectible, and some really unique sets as well. Remember, nativity sets make such meaningful gifts for families and children, too!

My children love our shatter-proof Fontanini set. I add a new piece every year and my girls are always excited to see who it will be. A starter set is a great gift for a family who wants to start their own collection!
The Little People Nativity (pictured above!) is perfect for children. I think it makes a great baby or toddler Christmas gift! You don’t have to worry about little hands breaking this one — we get ours out every December and I love watching my children play with it. It’s also a great teaching tool as you read Luke 2.
This large, colorful fabric set is also sweet for little hands. And fun to display!
Do you have a favorite nativity set?
I bought the little people set after having my eye on it for a few years. I am so excited to give it to my little girl. She’s thankfully still much more excited about Baby Jesus than Santa, and I hope to keep that up by giving her this!
