Christmas is coming....My favourite gifts to give.....

Last year I bought my 3 yr old and my 4 yr old their own bean bag chairs and they loved them!!  They are so much fun and are perfect for a kids' bedroom, family room or playroom. My recommendation is look for one that has a zipper so that the cover can be washed !  You can get creative and have the child's name embroidered on the bean bag, too! But there are some bean bag options for adults that are comfy and chic in fabulous materials like leather and faux fur - great for a condo or even in the corner of a bedroom.  Other cool brands to check out are jaxx saxx (they have a wide variety or sizes and styles) and fatboy (they even have bean bags for pets!)

If you have a child or two on your list, why not give the gift of reading!  With so many technology and electronic toys and gadgets, life gets busy and it's time to disconnect a bit and escape with a book.  It's a great bedtime ritual for kids and parents, too. There are so many choices so how do you choose?  I love the 'shop by age' category for Chapters and other retailers.

 


But you can also share some Christmas classics or some of your childhood favourites, too!  My kids' love a lot of my old books and they love the classic Dr. Seuss books.and if you have a tween or teen on your list, there are tons of great options out there too!
