KSW Valentine's Gift Guide

Just some bright and cheery things I thought you might enjoy as you prepare for Valentine’s Day, you can see more of my KSW Valentine’s Gift Guide list and tons of other recommendations here. Also, I’ll be adding links and prices to the Gift Guide tab sometime tomorrow.

Just out of curiosity, do you buy your children gifts for Valentine’s Day or perhaps make them something special yourself? Do you dress them differently for the holiday or have another fun tradition you’d like to share?

Hot and Cold Water at your fingertips! Great for families with kids, health minded folks and earth lovers who want to cut out bottled water for good
Solar Light from Bed Bath & Beyond ~ $15
Ladies will love these color changing solar powered jewels for their lawn. Great for folks who love to garden, lay by the pool, or relax in their own backyards
Snow Cone Maker from Bed Bath & Beyond ~ $30
Perfect for Moms who love to party with their kids or kids who still love to party with their Moms
Paper Recycling Center from Discovery Store ~ $17.50
Parents need every opportunity they can get to bond with teens and tweens, and bonding that includes crafting is always A-OK with me :)
Sodastream Jet Starter Kit from Amazon ~ $100
Give a gift that will help save a large family some $$$ this year, this soda maker has so many flavor options they’ll never go back to the $4 name brands
All in One Tailgate Cooler from Bed Bath & Beyond ~ $140
Talk about having it all – this compact cooler has a removable cooler, a propane grill (no messy charcoal to worry about) and BBQ tools – Guys will LOVE it!

Folding Recycling Bags (set of 3)from Gaiam ~ $16
I applaud all great efforts to make recycling easier for everyone, but these might be my favorite. If you know someone who cares about recycling, chances are they’ll love these too.
Set of 6 Jumbo Stacking Mugs from World Market ~ $15
Not only do these make the mornings more fun, but they also promote group activities {say, family hot coccoa night } and save on much needed kitchen space

Eureka – We’ve struck Gold!

by Stacy on November 16, 2009


Adventures_Sea

Gift Giving Gold, That is! I’m happy to report I have the perfect solution to just abut all your child gifting occasions – baby showers, birthday parties, christmas, even the first day of school.

The First Adventures of Incredible You is truly one of the most amazing gifts you could bestow on a young reader or a soon-to-be parent. Take just one look at this story and you’ll know why – the story is personalized to each child so it really speaks to them and will grow with them as their level of reading grows too. The illustrations are so bold and beautiful, they just might inspire a bedroom redesign {hmm, note to self – maybe I should try this myself}

Why We Love It: From the heartfelt inscription on the first page, to the references of Mom’s homemade goodies ~ this gift really can’t be beat. We also love the closing message: Celebrate the stars, the moon, the flowers and trees, the animals, the sunsets, the rain showers and bees. As a strong proponent of child development, connecting kids with nature and the power of play ~ seeing a message like this really floats our boat.

Tip: Before you order this book as a gift, head to the website and take the virtual tour. You’ll get a feel for the types of things you’ll need to know first (for instance, what do they call their grandparents, what is their favorite sports team, and favorite meal). Also for Moms of multiples, there is room enough to reference two names in most of the blanks.

Get Yours Here: Custom Made For Kids ~ $32.95

*~*~* Also Featured at Pottery Barn Kids, so you know it’s Fab! *~*~*
