Kids Gift Guide 2017 :: Kid Tested & Kid APPROVED

I wait all year for Christmas.  I am still JUST like a kid.  I never sleep on Christmas Eve because all I can think about is that GLORIOUS moment when my kids wake up, wait patiently on the stairs, and then we open presents, eat Monkey Bread and spend the entire day playing.  I’m getting excited just thinking about it!  eeekk!!

Playing it right with the gifts is super important.  Money isn’t endless and few things stink more than buying a gift your kid immediately casts off to the side.  

Here is how we have always prioritized our choices: We always encourage imagination, wanderlust, fun, longevity, and a little bit of practicality.  We want our kids to keep believing in unicorns, rainbows, and exploration so we purposely look for things that will nudge them in that direction.

We’ve got loads of gift ideas and since time is running out we want to alert you to two deals that will ensure delivery before the big day:
