Are you one of the millions of consumers that makes most of your purchases online? I sure am. I do my best to avoid stores and love being able to do most of my gift shopping from my couch while watching a show. What makes this great is that now most stores offer free shipping.

If I make a purchase and I notice the store does not offer free shipping I go to Groupon Coupons for coupon codes. They have hundreds of stores that have coupon codes to save you money or offer free shipping on your orders.

My kids have way too many toys. It is getting ridiculous and they don’t even play with half of them. They are also getting a little bit older where they aren’t interested in as many toys. I am making the change this year to give the gift of experiences.

Just think…no clutter, no mess to clean up and something your child will remember. As you know by now, I love sharing fun tips I discover. Here’s another for you: A quick glance at the Groupon site leads to a ton of great gift ideas. The great thing is how much money I save with their discount versus purchasing the tickets through the normal ticket office.

Don’t you love when you can get most of the presents done in one shopping trip? Here is the best idea I have seen for this year’s Christmas gifts for the whole family. Personalized fleece pullovers from NYFifth Apparel !

You can have each person’s initials embroidered onto them but I think it would be even more exciting and fun to come up with a family logo or crest. Everyone could have the same fun logo. You can design it on your computer and just send them the file. My husband has come up with this as an idea for us.

I am always needing a fleece for running around town and to the soccer fields. I live in my fleece and jeans during these soccer days.  It is a great price point for a personalized gift for everyone. They have a hooded option too for my boys since they must have a “cool” hoodie.

My husband would want the Nike Golf version. NYFifth has Nike Golf and Adidas too for those who like a certain brand and want to spend a little more money.

You can purchase the blank apparel at wholesale prices and then add the customization (silk screening or embroidery) for a low competitive price.

There are so many ways to use these for more than Christmas gifts. They can be great for small businesses and sports teams to have as uniforms. My boy’s soccer team also does an indoor season during the winter and we have to come up with our own shirts. Having a cool emblem that we design will be awesome.

Like it. Pin it!

 

 

Isn’t Thanksgiving the best holiday? No expectations other than sitting around visiting with friends and family. We have tried to make it all about bonding with family by starting some fun family Thanksgiving traditions.

Thanksgiving is my favorite especially because it isn’t about gifts. It is about being with the people we love and eating some delicious food. My mom and aunt cook us a delicious meal while the rest of the extended family play on the beach. The other nights during our weekend together, the rest of the families all take turns cooking.

Every year when we pull out the Christmas decorations, our kids love these 2 Favorite Advent Toys. I love that every day during December they play with these and it helps them to remember that we are really celebrating the birth of Jesus. The fact that they are only out for one month during the year makes them special.

As a mom, I love hearing what gifts moms give to their kids.  This list of Top Gifts for 3 Year Olds comes from our own experience.  Sharing our favorites that are hits longer than a few days is a must! Take a look at our daughter’s favorites from when she was 3 years old.

I have also shared the hits and misses for my boys with  Top Gifts For 7 year old Boys

Top Gifts for 3 Year Olds

Below are the gifts our daughter received when she was 3 years old.  We’ve even included our thoughts after she spent time playing with them.  This gives you a good idea of the investment and if it will be worth your money for your particular child.

Loving Family Doll House – This is a huge hit! I can’t recommend this enough. While she didn’t play with it a ton the first couple months, when she hit 3 1/2 and her imaginative play took off this became her favorite toy. She seriously plays with this every single day. We have a few of the accessory packs that you can purchase to go in the house. Hit

Sing Along Microphone – Another huge hit. This is the gift that was her favorite on Christmas Day. It immediately made an impact and she started singing Christmas songs and it really made Christmas morning fun. Hit

Sofia the First Royal Family – I thought she would like this because she likes the show but really she never plays with it. Miss

Alex – My Giant Busy Box – this is a great gift for any preschooler. We did all the crafts and I buy these whenever they go on sale or use a Michael’s coupon to make them a reasonable price. Hit

Melissa & Doug Stamp Pads – I am glad we have a these but we have 3 sets now and really could survive with 1 or 2 sets. I am going say Hit because we do use them even a year later. Hit

Finding the right gifts for 3 year olds is hard.  They are at such a young age for many things, but also deserve to have fun things to play with under the tree or at their birthday.  Think about where they will be in a few months, and remember that sometimes no matter how hard you try, it just won’t be a perfect fit for your child.
