So, we’re less than a week or so away from “the big day” and you still have some holes in your shopping list with the littles… don’t worry. I know this time of the year can be stressful enough. Add the pandemic, and you’ve got yourself an impossible mission to get it all done, and safely. I’ve personally ran into the problem that I’ve shopped for my kids during lockdown to keep them entertained, and now I don’t have options for Christmas. I know you can relate to that one! I wanted to compile a list of my kid’s favorite requests on their wish list, along with some items we just couldn’t live without during the year. That way, it can help fill in some blanks on your kid’s shopping list, giving you enough time to mobile order it all! If you do need to go out and shop in person, remember to wear a mask, socially distance, and bring hand sanitizer with you!

Do you own an iPad or Tablet? Looking to mix up the homeschool routine or looking for a way to get the kids to learn while they’re having “screen time?” Look no further!

This bag is the only bag that matters, and not only because of its precious cargo. I snagged this crossbody bag a few months back when it first came out, and I’ve never gotten so many compliments! No wonder it sold out in no time flat! Along with the fact that it’s beyond adorable, it’s completely practical too. When I need to venture out into our new world, I no longer like to bring a big bag with a ton of my possessions. Instead, I like to take just what I need to get the job done, which lately is my wallet, keys, mask, and hand sanitizer. This bag fits it all. If you love it as much as I do, you better act fast. This restock wont last long!

A classic that just never gets old! I love the idea of giving some fun games under the tree this year, because it continues the fun after the luster of new toys has gone down. Jenga is a family favorite of ours, and kids of all ages can play!

I am absolutely obsessed with these playsets! They come in a few character options, and come ready to build, just as a LEGO set would be! As you go, you’re creating your playground for your princess to play in! Comes with everything you need to build the inside, as well as characters and stickers to decorate. Once you’re done playing, close it up and take it with you! Best for older kids, as it comes with small parts and advanced instructions.
