I’m typically super early with my gift shopping, but this year I’ve barely gotten started. The good news is we made some really unique gift guides filled with items you don’t see on every list.

I’d like to know where you got your pajamas! So cute!
Did you think about having a section for girlfriend or wife?
Huggie Hoops are the best! CaitlynMinimalist on Etsy sells high quality ones at a great price. I own several pairs and wear them 24/7 – comfortable and effortless!
I would love to recommend Every Good Candle if you’re looking for really nice, incredible smelling candles. They’re handmade by a woman in New Mexico who runs the small business by herself. They are gorgeous candles! She and her wife are mons to four kids and are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Cannot recommend their candles enough (and you know your $$ is going right to the creator and supporting her family!).

This is such a good gift guide! I can vouch for those ribbon wands. So much open-ended play and good for a lot of ages. Sarah’s Silks is the brand I got and they are having a big sale right now! Their silks are perfect for other open-ended play, too. I have one of those weird children who doesn’t really like toys but will go to town for like an hour with a scarf.
Love the gift guide!!! I missed the link for rainbow candle under hostess gifts. Also how about a teen gift guide? Thank you!

I love the air fryer and always pan making so many lists. And I feel like the Instax camera has been on lists for years, but my girls love it. 🙂
About a year ago (?) they made a doll clothing catalog with it; they posed their dolls & took photos of dolls & doll clothing to imitate the look of the clothing catalogs we get in the mail.
Ok my items for the list would be- wooden vehicles for peg people (the bus is a go to my four year old comes back to again and again), calico critters, good markers, good quality spiral sketch notebook, cooperative board games, balls (kickballs, tennis balls, “soft” baseballs, small bouncy balls), jump rope, glue sticks, instax film, cash register, puppets, cricket magazine subscription (different magazines for different ages), eos lip balm (no dial means kids don’t mess it up), ice skates and/or a trip to a skating rink, slime or putty or the ingredients to make it (messy but the kids still love it), kids size tea or picnic set.
