Hey folks! I have been blogging almost
5 years (WHAT?!) now and have never made a holiday gift guide. To be
totally honest, I'm not exactly sure how they work from the blogger
end. It seems like there are several ways people do them and the
version I am familiar with from my early blogging days is not the
same as what goes on now. So, consider this a “wish list”, not a
“gift guide”. ;)
Also, to be totally honest, John and I
usually aren't into the whole gift exchange thing. But, I have to
admit that I have come across some cool things both in stores and
while perusing my mom's Lakeside Collection catalog recently. So, at
the very least, I hope you find this list entertaining or helpful in
some way for your holiday season!
I am not affiliated
with or receiving any form of compensation from the following
companies or brands...I just thought they had some cool stuff! All rights for pictures belong to whatever website they came from.
For
the Kids!
Wal-mart
finds...
I
thought this looked like something Ripley might like. And bonus, it's
educational!(There was one with the alphabet too. Of course I
couldn't find a picture of it online.)
Uuummmm
so I kind of meant to get this for Myka's birthday and forgot to
write it down, therefore I forgot about it. :/ Oops! She saw it the
other day, so I definitely won't forget now!
Rural
King finds...
Myka is obsessed with horses. (What 5 year old girl isn't?) For some
reason, she has gotten it in her head that we are going to own horses
some day...Which is totally not happening. Maybe a toy pony will do?
New
Ray/Country Life has tons
of different farm and outdoor playsets. I really like them, but I'm
still trying to decide whether the kids would too. Sometimes they
like minis, sometimes they don't!
Imagination Adventure Series also has some great sets for the little
outdoors lover in your life. Fishing, camping, ATVs...What's not to
love?!
Lakeside
Collection finds...
Myka is interested by geography, so I really think she would like
this. Fun and educational!...For both of us! ;)
Both of the kids are obsessed with this giant checker board at the
library, so this is a no-brainer. Myka and I have even been playing
the regular sized checkers at home.
These books are as much for me as they are for Myka. I love reusing
things for crafts and I'm sure I can work some of these into school
stuff too!
All of these look fun. (There are 4 different ones in the catalog.)
My kids are interested in all of these things and I like that they're
compact!
Dinosaurs never get old in our house, so this is a no-brainer. Ripley
likes them now too and Myka has been into them since she was 2!
A train AND bubbles? Say no more! Shut up and take my money! Ha ha
Again with the dinosaurs. Myka has been really into dinosaur books
lately. And being Smithsonian, you know they're good.
I've been wanting to get the kids one of these for awhile. These ones
actually look decent-sized too.
I've seen these things over the past few years, but never really
looked into how they worked until I helped promote a giveaway for one
recently. They look fun and unique!
A dinosaur that makes noise AND has a remote control?! 100% sure my
kids would fight over this.
For
Mom AND Dad!
Not only would this come in handy while camping, it would
actually be even more useful for nights around the fire at home!
We LOVE watching shows on National Parks, so this book looks amazing.
Not gonna lie: We've both been wanting one of these for awhile. Then
we would have a better excuse to make a chicken tractor!
We've both been wanting one of these since we moved into our current
place. One day, one day...
For
Mom!
I actually got some of those fleece-lined leggings at Walmart
recently. They're just as amazing as I thought they would be!
Just because we live on a farm doesn't mean I'm into the whole kitchy
farm décor or even the ever-so-popular farmHOUSE décor. But...I
thought this set was cute. :)
I debated whether to put this on here since I will only have 2 months
left by the time I would get it. I don't really care to where as long
as they have PLUS SIZES and stuff that's not hideous! It is so hard
to find plus size clothes that aren't fugly as hell.
You know what else I would love? Some more photo books! My mom
actually made these for me one year, but I think a present to myself
this year might be some more! At the very least, I would like to get
a bunch of pictures printed and start an album.
For
Dad!
He wasn't really specific, but don't most guys not mind getting
tools? I don't think mine necessarily just meant like your pliers and
whatnot. I think he meant gardening implements too.
John keeps bringing up hoop houses every now and then, so this is the
first thing I thought of when I tried to think, “If money were no
object, what would John want?” lol
Have you ever seen the prices on these things? They're insane! I know
they're good, but jeese...The only reason I have some are because
they were on super sale at Rural King last year.
Because you can never have too much storage!
Just for fun, what is on YOUR wish list this year? (It can be
something that is purchasable or not!)
