Christmas Gift Ideas # 13 - Chalee's Picks

During her visit today Chalee also filled me in on what I needed to tell Santa to bring her from the shop and I thought who better to give you last minute shoppers hunting for kids gifts some ideas than a real live kid!

She "shopped" for nearly half an hour, filling up our toy shopping cart and then one of our arm chairs, and these are the things that she decided on. Santa, are you reading this?

So, from the mind of a 3 year old, here is your Christmas Gift Idea Post # 13!

A really great stocking stuffer for that little (or big!) princess in your life! Tutu, wand and, of course, a little something for the princess' hair!

I told you these umbrellas were great! Addison Smith, Gracie Brock and Keeper Hendrix (and a bunch of our other kids!) all agree with Chalee on this pick! Chalee chose the one with hearts (not pictured) but we also have polka dots (Gracie's. Pictured above), horses and sports just to name a few!


Chalee found her daddy's old Mr. Potato Head at home and thinks that it is way cool. This magnetic version of the classic toy is a great alternative with a lot less pieces to lose! This is only one of several new magnetic books we have in stock. Great to entertain the kids while on a car ride, a plane trip or at church. It's also just a fun "quiet" toy to play with around the house. I love toys and games like this that let kids be creative...I'm so glad Chalee picked it!

I'm pretty sure Chalee watches Bindi Irwin's show...and what kid doesn't love animals? She chose this talking Bindi doll that CRACKS me up! We also have talking Steve "action figures" for the boys!

Every single kid that comes into the shop LOVES these Penny Pinchers by Stephan Joseph...they're one of our very best sellers! At 25% off this weekend (along with all of our other Stephan Joseph merchandise), these are pretty much a steal! Great stocking stuffers!
This is Chalee when she was suppose to be showing me the cute sayings on them...but, the model that she is, started showing off, smiling and being cutesy as soon as I turned the camera on!

Being the sweet kid and wonderful big sister that she is (when she isn't poking him in the eye, squeezing his head or playing the bongos on his tummy) she picked out this "John Deere green" teddy bear for her 5 month old baby brother Joncollin! He seems interested, don't you think?

She also thought he needed this big teddy bear pillow. She chose it over the monkey one...but I like them both. There is also a pink version of this bear one. Joncollin immediately relaxed when I layed him down on the pillow. I would definitely take one of these if it came big enough...they're soooo soft! This is an awesome idea for "Baby's 1st Christmas".

The very first thing she told me that Santa needed to bring her was a horse. This is one of the Groovy Girl horses but we have a whole bunch of horse stuffed animals in all shapes, colors and sizes! Horses are the hot trend right now and we have a lot of horse stuff...music boxes, wall decorations, diaries, card games, board games, outfits, etc. etc. etc.

Chalee LOVES her Nanny Sharon and, since she lives right down the road, loves to go visit her and spend the night. This will come in handy for those trips! We have lots of items in our "Camp Grandma" collection for boys and for girls! This would be a great gift for any kid who is Grandma's little boy or girl!

In case you haven't heard me tell stories about it...Chalee's current career aspirations all revolve around being a cheerleader. She LOVES cheerleaders and watching them perform at football and basketball games and on television. I even taught her the "Firecracker, Firecracker, Boomboomboom" cheer...but I think she just likes watching me act silly more than she likes the cheer! I showed her this and she decided that she needed it for her room...I think it would be great as a doorknob hanger or just a wall decoration. We also have an adorable princess crown that is similar...that can be personalized!

Chalee thought her Pa Tommy needed this piggy bank because he has tractors. These can be personalized and we have several styles for boys and for girls. Just stick some change in one of these, get a name put on it and you're all set for a great kid gift!

She also said that she needs Hannah Montana stuff...so I showed her these Jibbitz for her Crocs! Well, Chalee loves her Crocs so she loved this idea!

That's all for tonight folks!
