I became a new mom in July, which means it is my turn to start all the Christmas decorating, gift giving, stocking stuffing, holiday baking, and all the other things that comes with the Christmas season! Yes, these gifts won't be on my Christmas list for my little this year, but I still have my eye on them for my nieces and nephews!

With all the technology devices set aside from this list such as ipads, iphones, etc., this is a great list that allows your kids to be creative, artsy, and gets them up and moving!

So with that being said, here are some of my favorite gift ideas for kids! Happy shopping!
