Who else is cutting it pretty close this year? I feel like Christmas snuck up on me! All I know is that I usually have most of my shopping done and this year, I do not. I am close though, and I do know what I am getting the rest of those on my list so I am halfway there. I just need to order it all!

I do have some ideas too, for those who might be wondering what to get those last few people on their lists.

For babies and the littlest ones

LeapFrog Spin and Sing Alphabet Zoo || Manhattan Toy Toadstool Cottage || Woodland Sensory Book || Playskool Stacking and Sorting Toy

Wyatt had that Spin and Sing Toy and I can still hear the song clearly in my mind… he loved it, a lot. I also love that soft toy full of cute little plushies, and this sensory book filled with cute animals and crinkles and things to touch and play with. Finally, I actually bought this stacking and sorting toy for my niece this year. I love how cute it is, while being portable, and easy to clean!

Hape Kitchen || Melissa and Doug Busy Board || Dino Crawling Toy

I wanted to add these three items too!

The toy kitchen we got Wyatt when he was little was like one of the best gifts we ever got him. He played with it for years! I like this one because it is understated and not too big, so even if you don’t have a big play space this will work. This company also is very good quality based on the toys we have bought and should last, and this one is very affordable at under $100!

This busy board is another toy Wyatt loved as a little. He always was latching and unlatching, reading the numbers, counting, opening the doors.

The Dino toy is actually a toy I gifted my cousin’s daughter when she was like 1. She is now 14! Anyway, this toy still is around and all the kids have played with it over the years, so it definitely can stand the test of time!

For Kiddos

Disney Villains Clue || Arts and Crafts Vault || Watercolor Set || Yoto Player || Metal Detector

An array of items here! Most of these are items we have honestly, except that Clue Game which is on our list. We are a board game family and that version of Clue looks pretty cool!

The arts and craft vault is invaluable. I can’t even tell you how many times I have pulled that out for Wyatt and his cousin and left them to just create – kids love it, and it is handy for adults too!

The watercolor set is so affordable at around $20 and comes with everything you need. Paper, brushes, paints, refillable brushes, and a pen. It is the perfect kit for a beginner or a child!

Wyatt loves his Yoto Player. There are so many card options you can play on it – stories aimed at the smallest child on up to classics like Anne of Green Gables and Treasure Island, stories that involve popular characters from Disney or Peppa Pig, music… just so many. He will often just wander into his room and listen and play. The card system makes it easy for kids who have dexterity issues and small children to work, since you just stick the card in and it doesn’t matter which way it faces or what side goes in first. Just pop it in and it plays. It can also be used for other purposes as well, like a nightlight and also parents, it is safe. No camera, no mics, and no ads. A wonderful alternative to screen time!

Last is the metal detector! This is actually the one we bought Wyatt for Christmas this year. He loves stories of pirates and we thought what a cool thing a metal detector would be – he could go search for treasure, just like a pirate! I liked this one because it looks like it can be used more places than a beach, which is a hard place to visit when you are in a wheelchair! How fun though to explore and look for “treasure!” I am excited to use it with him; who knows what he will find! It also says it is lightweight, another plus if you are a kid.

Dinosaur Take Apart Stem Toy || Magnatiles

These two are both kid in my life approved! Wyatt loves taking things apart and putting them back together again, especially with these little kid drills. And you absolutely can’t go wrong with Magnatiles! They come in all sorts of different size sets as well as fun themed ones too, like this forest animal version.

For Adults

Skullcandy earbuds || Anker Wireless Charger || Chenille Throw || Darn Tough Socks || Reading Journal (designed by moi) || Clay in Motion Handwarming Mug

So…that person you have no idea what to get but you still are getting them something. These are my takes on the usual suggestions. Practical things, soft things, cozy things. We own many of these and so they come with our seal of approval!

Billy and I both use the Skullcandy earbuds. They are a great price, are comfortable and work well! The wireless charger is not something we own but it is something that Billy has on his list. Lol. I trust him when it comes to tech, since he works in tech. And it does sound very convenient, besides being a great price!

I have the chenille blanket in the rust color and I love it. Wyatt is actually using it as I type! It is warm and soft and snuggly and I could own a million in all the different colors available. Also very affordable at $26.99!

Billy is a sock nerd. I can’t go wrong buying him socks, but they have to be the right socks. He is a fan of many brands but Darn Tough is one of his favorites. They have a lifetime warranty which is awesome, and he says they are breathable and comfortable!

Journals of all kinds are good gifts I think, but a reading journal for a reader is a fun way to track your reading – without using an app! I made a few and they are available on my Amazon Storefront but I love this cute and cozy one.

Finally, a mug. Can you really go wrong with a mug? I love the cut of this one’s jib. Made in America, with a special pocket of sorts that warms your fingers too! It looks perfect for being all comfy cozy, one of my main goals in life….

And….that’s a wrap! Hopefully this was helpful!
