Gift Guide DAY TWO: I am clearly more effective giving advice for girl gifts- but stay tuned, I have some of my favorite "boy moms" sending in ideas for boys up next!! The idea of sharing all of my favorite gifts for little girls is overwhelming! Clothes, jewelry, shoes, toys, crafts...sheesh! SO, I am just going to share some of our favorite gifts/items for this year and from years past! Also, make sure to follow along on
Pinterest I have a "gift" board that I will link more favorites to! {

**Words of Wisdom: If your child is 0-3, purchase all of the learning toys for gifts. Opening the gift is more exciting than the actual gift at this point. You will buy learning resources anyway, so you might as well use them as gifts (flash cards, magnetic letters, Preschool Prep videos and books, Bob Books, Scrabble Jr., Memory, Lace and Trace, etc..)
{The girls so want the
Seat Pets- this is a good one for boys or girls- it goes on the seat belt and the kids can nap on the pillow head, stick goodies in the pockets, etc.. They are nuts over these}
{If you have a baby/toddler girl- prepare yourself- American Girl sucks you in young and then you grow with them...literally and financially! :) My girls LOVE their
Bitty Babies and
Bitty Twins- Milly carries "baby" everywhere! Now Ellie and Izzy want the
historical dolls- I do love them because they have the outfits and the books, etc..!}
{My grandma just got all of the kids
THESE Pottery Barn monogram blankets- they are amazing for kids or adults. Milly LOVES sleeping with her blanker as much as the other girls! I LOVE mine too! Other options are
THESE or
THESE- they are seriously amazing!}
{
The Land of Nod is just Delightful! Just go look on their site and shop around- fun stuff! I cant even list all of my favorite things!}
{I also love
AllModern- I could list many things from this site as well!}
{Ellie is REALLY wanting
Headphones- not sure what she will use them with since she doesn't have any electronics, but she things they are fabulous!}
{If you have a little one, the
Cozy Coupe is a great investment- if you have the room!}
{All three of my girls are obsessed with Dream Lights. These are great for babies on up! They have different
animals,
College University,
pillow pets..they automatically turn off, so that is fabulous!}
{What list would be complete without
Lego Friends! Always a hit!}
{Ellie is really wanting
Roller Skates- sounds a little scary to me, but whatever!}
