2018 Holiday Gift Guide

I love giving gifts! It brings me so much joy to shop, wrap, and give the special item that made me think of you, or that I knew you had been hoping for. Sometimes we need a little inspiration for gift ideas. I have some amazing gifts for each category that are sure to bring a smile to their faces! Check out my top gift ideas for Moms, teens, and kids! 

American Girl 

If you have girls ages 3-13, then American Girl has something they will LOVE! Bitty Babies, Wellie Wishers, Truly Me, as well as the classic character dolls, they have it all. My daughters have always loved playing with dolls. American Girl not only encourages their imaginations, but also gives them inspiration! Here are a few holiday products my girls are raving over this season. 

The Cozy Up Cocoa Stand 

  • This is the WellieWishers’ favorite gathering spot after ice skating! This cute set includes everything they need to feel toasty warm inside. It includes:

    • A stand, perched on top of a snowy faux-brick wall
    • A bench where the WellieWishers can sit and chat over their cocoa
    • A winter wreath with a chalkboard in the center; a cocoa menu is written on it
    • A colorful streamer to decorate the stand
    • Two mugs of pretend cocoa with whipped cream
    • A pretend can of whipped cream
    • A cocoa canister
    • An insulated container the dolls can hold
    • Four felt acorns—the WellieWishers use them to “pay” for their cocoa!
    • A cookie bag with a pretend cookie; it has a cute fox face in frosting
    • A carton of pretend milk

This is a perfect addition for any little girl and her WellieWisher! What a fun way to enjoy the season. This makes for hours of fun, setting up and serving the dolls delicious cocoa.  

Twas The Night Before Set 

  • She’s on Santa’s “nice” list this year! American Girl dolls can celebrate Christmas traditions with this set.

    • A hooded fleece robe with embroidered snowflakes and faux-fur trim to keep her cozy
    • A mini hardcover edition of the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer book to read before she snuggles in for a long winter’s nap
    • A letter to Santa
    • A red holiday platter with three gingerbread cookies to leave by the fireplace
    • A glass of milk for the jolly old elf
    • A bunch of carrots for Santa’s reindeer

Get your dolls ready for Christmas Eve with this fun set. Your little one will love reading to her doll and including her in your Christmas Eve traditions. My girls will certainly jump for joy knowing their dolls can leave some cookies for Santa, too! 

Maryellen’s Holiday Cookie Set 

  • In this festive set, Maryellen can practice her baking skills and share fun treats with her family and friends! It includes:

    • A set of cookie cutters that fit into a special box
    • A set of pretend decorated cookies
    • A pretend glass of milk
    • A merry apron to keep her dress clean
    • A bright holiday-themed tray for serving the cookies

One of our favorite holiday traditions is baking and decorating cookies. Now my girls can bring the dolls in on the fun, too! I love this festive and fun set. It is perfect for the holiday season. 

Nintendo

Gaming is a part of family fun in our home. We even include it in our family games nights. Check out 2 of my favorite games that I think the whole family will love!

Just Dance 2019

Dance to your own beat with Just Dance 2019, the ultimate dance game featuring 40 hot tracks from chart-topping hits to family favorites, including “Havana” by Camila Cabello, “Bang Bang Bang” by BIGBANG, “No Tears Left To Cry” by Ariana Grande, and many more! My kids love to dance, and it is so much better that they can get up and move while playing a game! 

Gear Club Unlimited 

With the pedal to the metal, race along more than 1800 miles of races! On the mountainside, through a nature park, in the middle of the desert or along the coast, defend your position over the course of more than 250 races, including championships, missions and challenges.

As you progress through the races, admire the growing collection of cars in your personal garage. Gear.Club Unlimited 2 has more than 50 licensed cars from the world’s most famous manufacturers, such as the Porsche 718 Boxster, 918 Spyder, 911 GT2RS, Dodge Viper, Lotus 3-Eleven or McLaren 720s. Personalize them and make them unique! You can change their appearance with the paint and bodywork, or change their driving performance with engine tuning.

This would make for some friendly competition! My son is going to go crazy over new tracks and cars to choose from!

Adidas 

This is the perfect gift for moms and dads! My husband and I are committed to staying healthy all year long. We like to kick it up a bit each year. Part of feeling good while working out, is finding the right gear. Adidas has some great selections when is comes to activewear for women. Here are a few of my favorites. 

Yoga Cotton Touch Top

Find your flow with yoga wear that gives you comfort in motion. Creating graceful styles to match your practice, adidas by Stella McCartney pairs a performance design with elegant details.

The lightweight build of the adidas by Stella McCartney Yoga Cotton Touch Tank Top is the ideal layer for daily practice. Made of breathable mesh, it has a racer-back cut and curved hems.

Believe This Solid Tights 


Built for mobility, these training tights are made of stretchy knit jersey fabric with a soft, smooth feel. The body-hugging fit allows for full freedom of movement, and the high-rise waist offers full coverage and a secure fit. Natural movement. 
Soft, lightweight fabric build with a bit of stretch moves naturally with your body. 

I hope you got some great ideas! Happy shopping and Happy Holidays!
