Gift Guide: for the kiddos

it's that time of year again. the time for gifts and goodies. i love trying to find fun and unique items that will fulfill the desires of a child's mind but also appeal to adult sensibilities. There are soooo many options for kids these days so it can be challenging to cull through all of the sites so I hope some of these items can get you pointed in the right direction.

I absolutely adore the Winter Water Factory for their unique, screen-printed textile designs. This Brooklyn-based company creates the sweetest dresses for little girls and delightfully whimsical sweatshirts for boys (and girls). The colors are bright and they wash up wonderfully.

If you have not heard of Freshly Picked leather moccasins, then let me be the first to say, you are welcome. They are soft soled, durable little moccasins that come in the most amazing colors and patterns.

How pretty is this tumbling tower set? I love the pastel colors and what kid does not love to build a tower just to knock it back down? No kiddo that I have ever known. It's a perfect modern update on a classic.

I love puzzles. My son loves puzzles. So I am always on the lookout for a well-made and unique puzzle and this map puzzle from The Land of Nod certainly fit the bill.

Oliver has been perusing all of the toy catalogs that come in the mail and one item that he kept landing on was a remote controlled car. So after some searching for a durable, well-priced car Amazon came to the rescue with this shark inspired one. How fun, right?

And because we live in New England and we keep our house a bit chilly, socks or slippers are a must in our house. And let me tell you, it is hard to find classic slippers for little feet, so when Crewcuts came out with these reasonably priced beauties I jumped on them.

happy shopping.
