Sophie is Caucasian with a blonde pony-tail, Chloe is Caucasian with dark brown hair, and Anna is African-American with dark brown pig-tails. So cute!

Snowman in a Sack

Snowman in a Sack Price: $24.95 at Land of Nod
Build snowmen and memories with this fantastic snowman kit! It includes a faux carrot nose, 3 blue buttons, black coal-type eyes, a corncob pipe, a scarf, and a black hat. Mother Nature supplies the snow, and you and the kids spend an hour outside, building the best snowman ever! Then of course it’s back inside for hot cocoa with marshmallows!

Marshmallow Shooter

Price: $13.95 – 34.95 at Marshmallowville
I’m not normally one to suggest toys that resemble guns or anything else that might be violent, but this time, I can’t help myself. A co-worker gave me one of these, and now I recommend them for anyone looking for a gift for a pre-teen boy (or even adult men!). They even sell marshmallow cross-bows and Executive Shooters! I know, I know… it’s still a gun… but don’t knock it until you’ve tried it!

10

IPod Shuffle

IPod Shuffle Price: $59.00 – 79.00 at Apple
Five brilliant, yum-pop colors, with 2GB or 4GB of music storage. Small, simple to use, with no complicated screens or touch-wheels. Probably not sturdy enough for the under-ten set, but perfect for your pre-teen music lover! Choose dark grey, silver, pink, green, or blue. Add a $10 or $15 iTunes gift card to get their music library started, too!

11

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters

Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters Price: $9.99 at Toys R Us
This is the hard-to-find must-have gift for little girls this season! It’s not hard to see why — they’re cute, and best of all, interactive! There are four different Hamsters available, and all of them have their own personalities. Chunk is the laid-back surfer-dude, Pipsqueak is sweet and small, Squiggles is fussy and finicky, and Num-Nums is a giggly little love. Hard to find, but you can locate anything on eBay, right?

Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera

Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera Price: $50.00 at Fisher-Price
Available in blue (for your little man) or pink (for your little princess). It’s a real digital camera, easy enough for toddlers to use, but sturdy enough to survive what kids can do to their toys! Stores up to 500 photos, with big buttons, a color LCD preview screen, and a simple USB connection to download, print, or share photos.

Whether you have a baby, toddler, or big kid, a girl or a boy, there’s certainly something on this list for every child on your list! These are the 12 best Christmas gifts this holiday season, but there are so many more, too! What’s your must-have children’s Christmas gift this year? What do you plan to give? Please let me know… thanks!
