The kids shopping always seems the most overwhelming, yet the most fun. I’ve always told the kids that I am Santa, as I remember being more traumatized by realizing Santa didn’t exist than being excited about him for all those years. Regardless of me never playing into “the lie” {you call it what you want}, the kids still believe, still love and still pin for Santa. Therefore, I truly follow their lead.
One of the reasons that I’ve never wanted to play up Santa, versus just letting them drive how much, or how little, we play into it, is I want the credit for all the hard work! Is there any other time of year more stressful, more work for moms than the Christmas season?! I digress… so long and short of it, “Santa” brings ones larger ticket item {this year, a bike, last year a scooter}, and all the other stuff, is from Mom and Dad.
While my kids are 6 & 8, I have nieces and nephews that range from 1 to almost 12, so I feel like this list is a little something for everyone, all ages, all genders, tried and true from my family to yours!
I’ve also just updated my Amazon list, if you are like me and 1. are very last minute and 2. worry about things getting to you so you have time to wrap and not stress about shipping delays!
