Hi Ladies!! One of my very favorite things about blogging is getting to meet and connect with other bloggers. These ladies listed above me have been a BLAST to work with!
We've teamed up to help you get Christmas ready-from gift wrapping to Christmas gifts to crafting with your children. We have you covered!!
Today, I have some treats for you. I'm sharing some last minute gift ideas for the CHILDREN! And...there might be a FUN giveaway at the bottom of the post. Might-wink, wink. ;)
I've gotten a couple e-mails from ladies who have kids the same age as mine asking what I'm getting my kiddos. I'm going to share items on their wish list, things they already have and love, and a few items they might not have asked for but are getting. :)
Girl Gift Guide:
Kit (American Girl Doll)/Fashion Plates/Shopkins/Shopkins Calendar/Descendants' Doll/
These are all things Ebby Lee (age 6 1/2) is asking for or already has.
By the way, I have NO idea what those Shopkins are all about. I ask Ebby Lee questions about them weekly and I just don't get it. If you figure them out, PLEASE explain it to me. :) Also-do you guys remember those Fashion Plates? They were my favorite thing when I was younger! I can't wait for Ebby Lee to open that gift!! :)
Boy Gift Guide:
I made this gift guide with Nixon in mind. He's 5 1/2 and ALL BOY! Nixon loves Legos but doesn't like having to read the instructions to really make a set. This year I'm wising up and giving him a big box of Legos he can just create with. Nix loves all things associated with sports...so football, basketball, street hockey...any of that he LOVES!
*Note-I already ordered that Shock Hot Potato Game, but as I'm working on this post I'm reading that it's recommended for kids ages 10 and up. I'll let you know how it goes. :)
Little Boy Gift Guide:
This gift guide was all about Bowen, my three-year-old. He is into all things trains, animals, and dinosaurs. However, he also changes his mind about five times a day about what he wants for Christmas. haha! Most of the time the toys Bowen gets are the most popular. Everyone loves his train set and I'm certain they'll all be playing with that farm.
Mamas, I'd love for you to share your ideas....what are you getting your kiddos and what are their ages?? Thank you!!
These bloggers and I have you covered when it comes to all things Christmas! Check out all the other Christmas goondess....go see what these girls are doing! I promise you won't be disappointed.

These are such good ideas! I'm all about Nixon's ideas. We have a five year old too!! We also got our boys a rock tumbler and they love the coloring cardboard kits you can get off of amazon. So far they've gotten the house and the dog house and now they are getting the rocket!

My children are 18 and 20 now. We still have our bitty baby, and the twins, and a couple of AG dolls.I still, actually Santa, give my 20 year old son a Lego set every Christmas. He would be disappointed if he didn't get one! They have some pretty complicated sets.BTW, he is anot engineering major, I think because of his love of Legos! Merry Christmas! !

Great ideas!
Great gift ideas! Thanks for the recommendation.
I don't understand Shopkins either (I'm a teacher)! Ha! They also love Minecraft and Pokemon...both boys and girls...and I'm just thinking to myself, I was ALL girl when I was little so there was no way I liked Pokemon!
Fantastic ideas!
Great ideas!
Cute ideas!
Merry Christmas!
Love these ideas!! Merry Christmas!! :)
Love all your ideas for a girl! I have a 6 year old daughter that is getting a very similar list!! :-)
Die hard Shopkins fans here. My 5 yr old has the Small Mart and put her Shopkins in that and then her princesses go grocery shopping! Some have the funniest faces and names. We just love em. :)
She's also really into jungle animals, so from Santa she's getting the huge Melissa And Doug stuffed cheetah. I can't wait!
Great ideas!
Wow I love how much thought you put into these! No one knows their babies like mamas do! AND YES! I have the same confusion with Shopkins. My nieces love them. But I actually don't even understand the point of them...? Let me know when you figure it out :)
