Since I end up buying Christmas presents for a good range of ages, I’m sharing my gift ideas for both younger and older kids. The younger kids are fun. They like anything and forget what they’d asked for in the first place! The older kids (mine are 14 and almost 13) are tricky. They like small, expensive things–and did I mention, they’re very specific? By the way, I asked my son and daughter to add a suggestion to this list. She said a water bottle. He said an xBox (basically the love of his life–for now) so, there you go. . .

November 21, 2018 at 1:44 pmEmily – I just want to thank you for taking the time to write the gift guide post. I bought the vtech watches for my niece and nephew over a year ago and they are still a hit! I had no clue what kids their age wanted, but thanks to your recommendation, I am a super star aunt:) Wishing you all a relaxing thanksgiving!

November 22, 2018 at 7:49 amI think the one I linked to must have sold out. Here’s the same one, with the game he’s obsessed with…. http://bit.ly/2R1OJ1q
This bundle just doesn’t include the Echo Dot. Hope that helps.

Thank you for your blog / content / sharing / perspective. It is a welcome bit of sunshine in my day. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
