One of the tasks I wanted to accomplish this week was to wrap up the Christmas gifts I bought for our little cousins. There are seven of them, ages five and under! Why are little ones so easy and fun to shop for? The older my kids get, the more difficult and expensive shopping becomes! Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed picking out just the right toys and I wanted to share the sweetness before they get shipped off.

I went in a new direction with our Easter baskets this year. In years past, my go-to gifts have been bubbles, bathing suits and other things they would need for spring. This year seemed different: my biggest boys are getting older and we already have plenty of bathing suits. So what to do?

I ended up with two goals:

Try to kick my ridiculous Amazon Prime habit by shopping through small businesses first
Pay attention to the kids’ interests and find things that combine learning and fun

I’m so happy with the end result! In full disclosure, I did buy about half of this through Amazon. BUT. I picked an Usborne book for each child (in case you don’t know a consultant, my two favorites are Sarah and Jessica!) and I bought two beautiful things from an etsy shop called From Jennifer. So baby steps.

Here’s what’s in their baskets in 2018:
