2019 Kids Gift Guide

Christmas time is upon us.  Are your lists ready?  Do you know what to get your kiddos?  Everyone is always asking me what to get their kids.  I love shopping for kids.  I like looking for the perfect gifts that will make their eyes light up.  Do you?

Well if you are still looking for some gifts ideas, here are some of my recommendations:

1)  Sesame Street - 50 Years and Counting - Who does not love Sesame Street?  350 mins of fun and learning.  I love giving DVDs as stocking stuffers.  They make the perfect gifts because you can watch over and over.

Books are great gifts to give.  Winter break is the perfect time to grab a book and read.  

2)  Three Paws - This book encourages children to be bold, make new friends. It promotes the importance of both independence and inclusivity.

3)  Ted the Friendly Frog and Santa Frog - On Christmas Eve, Ted and Brad snuggle by the fire as their father tells them the magical story of his encounter with Santa Frog.

4)  Disney The Nutcracker and the Four Realms: A Center Stage Pop-Up Book - The Ballerina of the Realms dances on every page of this magical book!  Follow the elegant Ballerina of the Realms as she dances center stage in this artistic pop-up book, celebrating each of the unique and picturesque Four Realms.

5)  Bright Lite -  Inspiring a “you CAN sit with us” mentality amongst their readers and creators, BRIGHT LITE is a one-of-a-kind publication that takes shape in the form of a small, bi-annual coffee-table book.

Who doesn't like toys?  STEM toys are even better.  I love to give gifts that call for learning.

6)  Stomp Rocket - Stomp Rocket's line-up of STEM toys provide hours of screen-free fun and make a perfect for all ages! Stomp Rocket is 100% kid-powered and easy for kids to set up with no batteries required! 

I hope you find the perfect gift for your kiddos.  I have lots of wrapping to do, how about you?

2017 Kid's Holiday Gift Guide - Movie Fanatic Edition

With so many kids on our list we have to get creative on gift ideas.  Each year we try to be the cool aunt and uncle that is in tune with the kiddos.  One thing we all have in common is the love for movies.

***This is a sponsored post.  All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.***

Why do movies make the perfect gift for kids?

I love how movies can bring families together.  This is the perfect gift that keeps on giving every time a family watches it over and over again.  I mean, winter break is two weeks long.  What is a kid to do while on winter break?  Watch the Despicable Me 3 movie collection.

Don't forget the popcorn.  Pair the My Little Pony Friendship Magic Holiday Hearts with a box of popcorn.  The perfect addition to a My Little Pony fanatic movie collection.

Movies are perfect as a stocking stuffers too.  The Lego Ninjago Movie and some movie figurines will be a hit with the kiddos.

Happy gifting!
