The Perfect Gift for the Little Ones Who Believe in Santa

For my oldest son's first Christmas, our neighbours gave us a cute little plate to use for Santa's cookies. I can't wait to use it for the first time this year because this year, he understands Santa's story and is anticipating his arrival.

I have been looking everywhere for a similar plate to give as a gift and finally fell upon this one that I absolutely love. Not only is it more than a plate and can be personalized, but it is also on sale for 20% off at Chapters/Indigo.

This is a perfect gift for any kids who are starting to anticipate Santa's arrival.  It will make for a great tradition over the years.

Another year, another Christmas gift for our child's caregiver

Another year has gone by and I had to find a Christmas gift to say thank you to my eldest son's weekday caregiver. I'm so pleased with how her gift turned out. I ordered this calendar from Pinhole Press. I've raved about Pinhole Press in the past here. They really have unique and great quality products.

I love that it took me just minutes to make this calendar (just upload 12 photos and slot one in for every month), that it was so affordable ($24.99 - the 25% discount they were offering), that it's a colourful simple design and that it is so child friendly in the acrylic case/frame (which comes ready to hang! Perfect!).

Our gift to our son's caregiver

We used photos of our son playing with all the kids at his daycare which my husband took throughout the year and so it will be a nice keepsake for her and fun for the children to see a new photo of themselves every month throughout the year.  It will be wrapped up with our holiday card and a gift certificate to a nearby restaurant and there you have it!

I can't say enough about Pinhole Press's quality and assortment. If you still have someone on your list to buy for, head on over and check out their gift guides!

Gift for Grandparents - Priceless Memories

Our neighbours are the proud grandparents of a beautiful little girl.  We wanted to get them a little something to congratulate them but their grand daughter lives away so I didn't want to give them something for her not knowing when they will see her next.  I had forgotten about the Memories For My Grandchild book and was glad to see it last week when I was in Chapters. So I picked it up for them.  Yesterday, my neighbour stopped me while I was leaving the house just to tell me how wonderful the gift idea was.  He is so excited to begin filling the book - it was one of the best feedback I have received on a gift.

Basically this book enables grandparents to tell their grandchildren and great-grandchildren to come all about their life, childhood, education, love, marriage, family life, grandparenthood, etc.  I love my grandparents so much, I wish I had a keepsake like this to go through when I miss them!

This is a must gift for every grandparent which will eventually be a priceless gift for the grandchildren.
