Bumbo Floor Seat
Ages 2 months-2 years | ARV: $40.00
If you know a new baby or bun in the oven baby, ask the mom if she has a Bumbo yet. If the answer is no, your answer is clear: get that baby a bumbo floor seat! Baby will want to be sitting long before she can actually sit on her own and mom will get tired of holding her and want to eat something herself! Emersyn adores her Bumbo floor seat, she sits in it while I eat, do dishes and clean. She sits in it while Micah and I play, and when she gets tired or lying on her floor mat she plays with the same toys in her Bumbo. We also have a play tray so she can have toys in it and can eventually eat in it. Micah also loves sitting in it and actually still fits! Plus is cushy and super easy to clean!
Graco Glider System
Ages 0-12 months | ARV: $240.00
The Graco Soothing System Glider is a fantastic system of bouncer, bassinet and a glider base to easily put them in. Babies love being rocked and the glider recreates that feeling without occupying parent's hands. I love being able to put Emersyn in the glider bassinet, she sleeps better and somtimes even falls asleep on her own! Plus the bouncer is fun and can be a swing itself! Emersyn loves it. The soothing system is meant for babies, the bassinet glider option shouldn't be used once baby can sit up and fall out, but Micah has been known to set it to the highest speed and crawl in to "sleep" with no problems.

Hot Wheels
Ages 2 Years & Up | ARV: $5+
Micah loves hot wheels. Technically they are for kids 3+, but we've been giving Micah the cars even since he knew better than to eat them. He loves the little Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars, and now he has a big battery-powered Hot Wheels car that is so fun! Plus grandma sent him a track with a loop and he loves it. We'll get him more tracks once he's old enough to put them together and operate them himself.

Funko Pops
Ages 15 Years & Up | ARV: $7.00+
Funko Pops are fun vinyl characters that Peter loves to collect. Think of the person you are buying for: what is their favorite movie or tv character? It's probably in Funko Pop form, just google it! Peter's nickname at church worship is Wall-E, so he has a Wall-E Funko Pop. And he loves Daryl from Walking Dead, so he has a Daryl. And a minion and Beauty and the Beast and so many more! I have 5 or 6 of them in our bedroom waiting to give him on random occassions. Just plain fun!
Candy
Ages 4 Years & Up | ARV: $1+
You can't go wrong with candy. Know her favorite candy, or even one in the top 10? Buy it. Wrap it. Gift it. Smiles guaranteed. Just don't watch her eat it or tell her to eat less, Christmas gift calories don't count after all!
Coupon Book
Ages 5 Years & Up | ARV: $0.00
Stumped or run out of money? Make her a coupon book. Write coupons for things like kisses, flowers, a back massage, movie night and so on. You know your girl, pick things she'll enjoy! Then she can "cash in" the coupons down the road and enjoy the present for weeks to come. You can even print off coupon templates online, then you just have to complete, cut, hole punch, tie together with a ribbon and follow through!
Contigo Mugs
Ages 8 Years & Up | ARV: $12.00
Contigo travel mugs are awesome. They keep hot drinks hot, cold drinks cold and come in fun colors. Plus they seal closed, no leaks, with a locking option! And the opening button is complex enough that toddlers (that get into EVERYTHING!) can't open them to spill the hot drink all over themselves. Busy moms can drink hot chocolate again! I keep one by my computer and one by the rocking chair where I nurse Emersyn. Awesome!
Glove.ly Touch-screen Gloves
| Price Varies: $19.99-$95.00
I hate having cold fingers - and I love my phone. Those two typically don't mesh well, and I end up pulling my gloves off often in order to check my phone. Now I don't have to anymore! Glove.ly Touchscreen gloves are unlike any other touchscreen gloves I've tried! They are fully touch-screen enabled - not just the fingertip, not just the palm side. THE ENTIRE GLOVE is touch-screen capable. They are so cozy and warm, too! I recieved Classic, Cozy and leather gloves. I love all three! One of my favorite features is that each pair of gloves has a magnetic spot on them, so you can pair them and keep your gloves together with magnets!
