Stocking Stuffers for the Entire Family
When I was a child we always came downstairs Christmas morning and opened up the gifts in our stockings while we waited for our parents to get out of bed at 5am. It was a good way of keeping us distracted while my parents tried to wake up. We loved to see what little trinkets waited for us in our stockings. I do think that there’s an art to giving a good stocking. You can’t just stuff it full of one type of thing. It needs to be a mix of practical items and fun items and a few silly things thrown in. So, I’m going to break it down…

Books to Give
One of my favorite things to receive as a gift is a book. I love to read and a new book is an opportunity to experience the author’s world, characters and dreams. If it’s a good book – for a few days that book can transport you to the seaside or the mountaintop or the tensions of war. So much in just one amazing but small gift. The difficult part sometimes is choosing a book for someone else. Consider that person – first do they tend to like historical fiction or romance or science fiction? Not really sure? That’s okay too, sometimes everyone likes to read outside they’re usual genre,…

Gifts for Boys
When you’re buying boys gifts, its easy to gravitate towards certain kinds of gifts. But I know that the boys in my life have a wide range of interests and I try to think outside the box when I buy them gifts. Most boys love to make craft projects, play games and learn musical instruments too, along with the typical race cars and building blocks. Don’t forget to include soft PJs, cozy slippers and a new pair of winter boots for those boys in your life. Check out my post about books and movies for more ideas!

Gifts for Girls
At my house the toy catalogs are a big deal – my kids fight over the catalogs from Target and Amazon. They’re usually delivered in late October and my daughter starts drafting her list that day. Items in the catalog get circled and crossed out – over and over. If your daughter is anything like mine, she changes her mind about her Christmas list virtually daily. My goal is to get her to finalize her list (in writing) by early November, otherwise, her list would never get to Santa. Typically, Santa always gets a few toys from her list and then we get her some things too (usually more of…

20 Childrens Holiday Books
A simple holiday tradition that we started when my youngest was just a toddler and that my kids still love is the gift of new holiday books at the start of the season. They open a few new books after Thanksgiving (sometimes Bell the Elf brings these) and we read those along with the rest of our collection all season long. We love reading a couple of Christmas or Holiday books each night before bed. Some of our favorites are listed below and also a couple of new ones that I’m thinking of adding to our collection this year. I like to try to have a mix of holiday books…

Gifts for Her
Holiday gift shopping for the women in my life is definitely the most fun. I always seem to finish their shopping first – while I struggle more with the men. Whether it’s shopping for my sister, mom or mom-in-law – I try to choose things that I think they will love based on their interests and personalities. It was tough to limit it but here are a few of my favorite things that I love to give and to receive. Affiliate Links – As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Gifts for Him
We love our men but let’s be honest, buying gifts for men can sometimes be challenging. A lot of men I know aren’t really looking for a new scented candle or satin pajamas. That being said, I think that all men appreciate nice gifts and things that they wouldn’t necessarily buy for themselves. Here are a few of my top picks for those special guys. PS. My husband has a lot of these already or approved. Affiliate Links – As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Toddler Gifts
I love to buy gifts for toddlers, they pretty much love anything. From cardboard boxes to a six foot stuffed giraffe – it’s all fantastic! That being said, as a mom, I like my toddlers gift list to have a variety of items. I usually include practical items like boots and mittens, movies they’ve been wanting to see, and a new book that I know they’ll love. Toddlers are a busy bunch. So when it comes to toys – I try to include a mix of things from puzzles to puppets to bubbles to babies – to keep my toddler learning and having fun! Tips for looking for toddler toys:…
