The most magical and wonderful time of the year is finally here! And whether you’re a proud grandparent, a doting auntie or uncle, or a family friend, nothing beats the rustle of wrapping paper, the sound of tiny feet pattering down the hallway, and the squeals of delight that warm your heart as your little ones discover something truly special under the Christmas tree. 

This is where Dotty Dungarees comes in; our overalls, dresses, shorts, and tops and tees are made for adventure, comfort, and creating memories. We've come up with the ultimate gift guide to find which Dotty Dungarees are perfect for a little one in your family. From our cozy and classic corduroy and denim pieces to our stylish dresses, colorful shorts, and comfy tops, there’s something delightful for every little one (and psst... enjoy 35% off tops and tees with every full-priced pair of overalls!). 

So, grab a cup of hot cocoa, help yourself to a serving of gingerbread cookies, and let our thoughtful Christmas Gift Guide inspire you to find something truly dotty and delightful for the little ones close to your heart. 

For the Big-Little Ones (Overalls & Tees for Kids Ages 5 and Up) 

We are kicking the list off with the ones close and dear to our hearts and our customers’ hearts: our classic corduroy overalls and overall dresses!  

These overalls are soft, durable, and make the perfect thoughtful Christmas gift. Enjoy the nostalgia of seeing your little ones through climbing, crafting, playing, and experiencing all of the magical festive fun that fills their curious and playful age.  

1. Robin Red Chunky Cord Overalls
2. Navy Corduroy Overalls
3. Moss Green Corduroy Overalls
4. Ochre Chunky Cord Overalls
5. Forget-Me-Not Overalls
6. Forget-Me-Not Dress 
7. Juniper Patchwork Corduroy Overalls

In particular, the Robin Red and Moss Green Overalls give off that festive, Christmasy vibe. 

Pair the overalls above with our classic long-sleeved tees, like the Robin Red Breton Stripe Top and Blue Stripe Maxi Top. For more neutral options that go amazingly with anything, pair the overalls up with the long-sleeved White Maxi Top, and you’ve got yourself a comfy and practical outfit, perfect for Christmas mornings all through to Boxing Day adventures. 

Worried about getting the size just right? (because let’s be honest, children seem to grow overnight!). Dotty Dungarees are cleverly designed with adjustable straps, thoughtful turn-ups, and room to grow. Our overall sizes are based on age, and they run a bit bigger, meaning they last far longer than most children’s clothes (some of our little customers’ overalls last for up to 2 years!). Simply check our sizing guidelines, choose the child’s age and follow the measurements, and you’ll have a gift that fits beautifully now and will continue to fit as they grow into their next big-little adventures. 

For the Little Stylists and Twirlers  

If you’re gifting a little one who loves choosing and assembling their own outfits and adding a touch of their personality to everyday activities, our fun, playful colorways and patterns, such as:

1. Heart Print Cord Overalls
2. Violet Chunky Cord Overalls 
3. Pink Chunky Cord Overalls 
4. Rosebed Patchwork Chunky Cord Overalls
5. Robin Red Chunky Cord Dress  
6. Classic Wide Stripe Denim Overalls Multicolour 

Style the options above with our cozy long-sleeved tops, such as the Pink Dot Peter Pan Collar tops or the Red Baseball Tee. For a breezier option, go for the Edie Frill Top or any of the short-sleeved Peter Pan Collar Tops. 

For the Little Adventurers 

Every family has one (or a few!): the child who is always up a tree, halfway through a craft project, or proudly showing off a pocket full of “treasures” they discovered on their latest expedition. For these tiny trailblazers, Dotty Dungarees has the comfortable, practical, and adventure-ready pieces for the perfect Christmas gift! 

1. Blackthorn Patchwork Cord Overalls
   
2. Stonewash Denim Overalls
3. Moss Green Corduroy Overalls 
4. Pale Denim Shorts 

They are designed to keep up with every wild adventure, made from durable, child-friendly fabrics that can handle tree climbing, woodland walks, and garden explorations, while still feeling soft and comfy for all-day wear. Plus, these colors help disguise mud and any playtime stains. 

On the other hand, if they love the freedom of shorts, our Overall Shorts in Blue Tonal Colorblock and Stonewash Denim are ideal for the little ones who never stop moving. They’re easier to layer and move in, simple to care for and wash, and let’s be honest, totally impossible not to love! 

To add to their perfectly practical gift, pair the overalls up with the Navy or Green Breton Stripe Tops, the long-sleeved White Maxi Top, or, for a more casual, playful look, the Baseball Tee in Navy.

For the Little Daydreamers 

For the little ones who love spending their days imagining magical worlds, creating whimsical shapes with the clouds, or quietly cooking up master pieces at the kitchen table, check out our dreamy nature-inspired pieces, such as: 

1. Waterlilies Patchwork Cord Overalls
2. Sage Corduroy Overalls
3. Custard Corduroy Overalls
   
4. Ice Blue Snowflake Overalls

These overalls would make the perfect Christmas gifts, encouraging the gentle magic of imagination. 

If they prefer a more chic wardrobe, our dress options, such as the Sage Corduroy and Blackthorn Patchwork overall dresses, are perfect for twirling, wandering, and dreaming, offering comfort without compromising style. 

Gift for Warmer Summer Days 

If you’re already thinking of the warmer weather ahead, our Overall Shorts make the perfect gift for the little ones in your family to wear all Summer long! These are lighter but still give off Dotty’s signature comfy feel and adjustable straps. They are the perfect outfits for relaxing beach days, garden plays, and every sun-soaked moment in between.

1. Primary Colourblock Denim Shorts
2. Blue Tonal Colorblock Shorts
3. Classic Wide Stripe Denim Shorts - Blue
4. Pale Denim Shorts
