"I think in the football world, we're really all such a family, especially because the football season does overlap with the holiday season," Kristin, 30, tells PEOPLE.
Because of that overlap, Kristin, who has made custom clothing for stars like Caitlin Clark and Taylor Swift, says that she and Kyle, 33, exchange gifts with George, 31, and Claire, 30.
The couples also "definitely celebrate holidays together" during the NFL season, she says.
On Christmas Day, both Kristin and Claire shared a photo on their Instagram Stories of the Kittles' gift this year: adorable rugs modeled after the Juszczyks' Samoyed dogs, Mozzarella and Pierogi.
"The best gift ever," Kristin wrote on Instagram.
Kristin tells PEOPLE that tight end George, in particular, is "so much fun" to buy gifts for.
"He's just a true kid at heart. So whether that's a Lego set or any type of toy, George gets so excited over that kind of stuff," she says.
