Note to self: all plants now named Jackson. As in Jackson One, Jackson Two.

There’s been Monopoly for the real estate tycoon wannabe, Operation for the surgeon wannabe. How about the first legal-themed board game for the lawyer wannabe? LAWSUIT! board game is for kids ages 8 and up.

This is a gift I just bought two of my closest friends, but that would work for a kid of any age:

It’s beautifully illustrated and all of the proceeds go to Families Belong Together. This would be a lovely gift to add to your Holiday Gift Guide.

I bought the little pearl wishing bracelets from Catbird for my 11 year old to give to her besties but I was disappointed when they arrived….they are literally microscopic….the picture shown is deceiving in my opinion. Would love a pre-teen gift guide!

For my niece, I want to make this a “costume Christmas” and I was looking into buying something like this superhero cape from the superhero supplies store: https://www.superherosupplies.com/collections/costumes/products/capes-cosmic-silk. I was wondering if anyone had other recommendations for good sources of kiddo costumes for ~4yos.

Love the plant idea! We’re trying to start a tradition of picking out a plant for half birthdays from TJs. Pretty low investment and manageable for kiddos. As if on top of stickers and samples TJs could be any better :)

On the caboodle – my daughter is obsessed with collecting random odds and ends, and in her mind they are a cohesive toy collection she calls her Huladoodles. I’ll be like, “is this trash?” And she’s all, “No, that goes with my Huladoodles.”

I love that Toby named his plant Jackson! I have a philodendron, and named it “Phil.” Much less creative! I split it at one point and let my daughter put one of the halves in her room. She loves it!

… and named it Jackson? I love Toby! :o) I named my banana plant Pedrito (it’s a descendant from the big plant at the office which I named Pedro) :o)

I can’t wait to buy gifts for my boyfriend’s little siblings! Though we are in our late twenties his siblings are very young (the latest addition born in July!) and it’s fun to have kids around and buy gifts for :)
