If I like something, I tell the world. In fact, that’s one of the reasons I started my blog. And when I’m looking to buy stuff for my kids, I always ask other Moms.
So, when it comes to holiday gift-giving, I thought it would be great to share all my mom friends’ favourites with you!
This year, I’ve teamed up with four of my bloggy friends – Maya from Mayahood, Christine from Life on Manitoulin, Amanda from Multi-Testing Mommy, and Meri from Lil-Sugar – to share some of our kid favourites with you. These items are all things we use and love… items that we know you’ll love too.
And the best part?
We’re giving away a HUGE prize pack that includes every item on our list (ARV $1300)!
Our fav picks FOR KIDS:
Walt Disney Studios Canada – 5 Blu-ray Prize Pack
Your kids will go ape (pun intended!) for these Disney hits on Blu-ray – Monkey Kingdom, Toy Story That Time Forgot, Inside Out, Aladdin and Walt Disney Animation Studios Short Films Collection. There’s something for everyone in this amazing prize pack – from animated and fanciful to touching and real, this collection of movies is one your family is sure to love!
LeapFrog – Word Whammer and Scout’s Build & Learn
When it comes to educational toys, there’s no more trusted name than LeapFrog! My kids have used many LeapFrog toys over the years and they’ve always been a hit…with me AND them! I love how LeapFrog makes learning personal with Scout and Violet; my son, especially, loved talking to Scout on his learning phone when he was a toddler. And, you know, that’s probably how he first learned his numbers!
About Word Whammer – Jam on word-building skills in 3 action-packed games that adjust to your child’s skill level.
About Scout’s Build and Learn – Count, measure, match colors and use 5 handy tools to build Scout a house. Then take it apart and build it again!

Growing up, I looked forward to receiving a Lifesaver Storybook every Christmas in my stocking. And the appeal hasn’t faded, even today. I still hope Santa will leave a sweet treat in my stocking… hint, hint. 😉

Barbie
Barbie Career Doll · Rock ‘n Royals Lead Doll (Courtney) · Rock ‘n Royals Co-Lead Doll (Erika) · Rock ‘n Royal Stage Playset · Barbie Fashionistas
With over 155 careers and counting, Barbie has always inspired us to follow our dreams and imagine who we could be, generation after generation. From a rock star, to an astronaut to a doctor – or even a fairy princess – Barbie has taken on aspirational and culturally relevant roles for over five decades.
Fisher-Price Deluxe Take Along Swing & Seat
This portable, easy-to-fold, two-in-one product combines a stationary seat and an infant seat. A removable newborn insert lets mom use this product from day one, while calming vibration settings soothe baby, as do six swing speeds with smart-swing technology.
Fisher-Price Smart Connect 2-in-1 Projection Mobile
Connect this mobile directly to a smartphone or tablet to activate the spinning mobile, or to turn on the calming music and soothing lights without disturbing baby. The projection mobile also grows with baby from a motorized crib mobile (0-5 months) where a light show projects on the mobile canopy, to a crib soother for older babies where a light show projects on the ceiling.
Yummy Nummies
With the holidays just around the corner, houses will be filling up with the smells of freshly baked holiday treats. Parents will be baking cupcakes, cookies and other tasty baked goods with their young children looking on or joining them. Now, kids can not only help their parents, but they can also make their own yummy treats in miniature with the new Yummy Nummies. Yummy Nummies sets come with everything kids need to create fun mini foods from cupcakes to cookies to tasty candy bars without their parents help. YummyNummies inspires the bakers of tomorrow giving them the freedom to bake independently and create their very own holiday treats.
Playmobil NHL players
Playmobil, known for its imaginative play themes and its iconic figures, has a great new product available this holiday season. It’s also its first licensed product ever in its 40 year history. Playmobil will be releasing its NHL Interactive Hockey Theme this fall. Unlike Playmobil’s iconic figures, the NHL theme figures allow kids to shoot the puck into their opponent’s net.
Tekno Newborn Puppy
This is a perfect stocking stuffer that fits in the palm of your hand. The puppy can sit, walk, bark and beg. Your 8 week old puppy responds to voice and touch. Pet him on the head and he makes happy sounds, and wiggle his ears and tail. The puppy will interact with you and other pets. Wiggly ears & tail.
