Check out the 2011 Mommy Kudos Holiday Gift Guide here.
Need a great gift for someone? I have done the work for you finding some great gifts. These are all things my kids and I really like and they are our favorite gifts to give!
Did you notice that I lost steam and ended my gift guide early? Well, it isn’t so much that I lost steam but that blogging is a lot of work and when you add 6 kids into the mix it can get a bit crazy (especially this time of year). I would far rather enjoy this season than stress about posts not going up. So I decided to end it a bit early. We’ll see how long it is before I commit to 30 days of anything again without having the posts done well in advance (Although I do have a series up my sleeve for the new year that I am currently working on…).
I decided to take the whole month of December off of blogging to make time for the truly important things in life. I will be busy cuddling little ones (and hopefully big kids too), reading, tickle parties, cookie baking and memory making. I will be sharing some posts from the archives while I am away.
I pray you have a lovely Christmastime full of love, joy and peace. I will be back in time to wish you a Happy New Year. In the meantime, you can connect with me on Twitter, Facebook or send me an email. I would love to hear from you!
You can see all of the Mommy Kudos Gift Guide items here. If you need some inspiration there are some really great gift ideas for moms, babies and kids each day. Also be on the lookout for my Ultimate Stocking Stuffer List (updated from the archives).
Blessings to you and yours!!
Sometimes you are just not sure what the perfect gift is even after lots of searching. For times like these I like to use Giftcertificates.com. You can order gift certificates from hundreds of popular merchants like Gap, Ann Taylor, Barnes & Noble, TJMaxx, Crate & Barrel and more. Then have them mailed out to yourself or the gift recipient. They even have e-gift certificates to stores like Zappos, Overstock.com and more.
are really cute with animals that are telling about each of their homes. Each of the animals is a finger puppet that you see all throughout the book. The stories are sweet and babies love interacting with the finger puppets.
I have long been a fan of Pottery Barn Kids. They have such cute stuff for kids rooms! I really like that they are now taking popular characters like Batman, Spider-man, Star Wars, and Curious George and incorporating them into their designs. I like being able to give some more practical gifts for Christmas (like room decor) that my kids don’t necessarily see as practical because they have their favorite characters on them. They also have great backpacks, lunch boxes, sleeping bags and more that would make great gifts. Check out their gift suggestions here.
Shop Amazon’s Toys – Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals Week
So far we’ve had 9 days of gift ideas for moms, babies and kids. If you missed them you can see the rest here. You still have time to enter the Sparklehearts for Girls giveaway and look for giveaways for Mama Mio, Keeki Nail Polish, Your Mom Designs Etsy Shop, and more to come!!
I live in Texas and Texans love their cowboy boots (well, most Texans anyway). I have been a bit resistant to joint the masses of cowboy boot wearers in this state. That was until I came across these super cute Stadium Stompers for women. They are cowboy boots that are also rainboots and they coordinate with your favorite football team colors. Wear them rain or shine and be in high fashion. How great is that?!
I recently came across Kathe Kruse toys and dolls and cannot get over how adorable they are. It is so hard to pick just one of them.
Kathe Kruse makes toys for babies and toddlers that are soft, colorful and child friendly. They are made with only natural ingredients such as cotton and sheep wool. Kathe Kruse Organics make toys that are nature-friendly and fun to play with.
Here’s a great book suggestion for the kids in your life: Bugs by the Numbers

I just love this Birth Date Print Modern Nursery Art Poster
from Almost Sunday Designs Etsy Shop. It is actually may be more of a gift for moms but it will be a beautiful addition to a nursery or wall of photos. I love that you can choose your own custom colors to match your decor.
Check out these other great designs by Almost Sunday Designs as well.
LeapFrog sent us a LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet
There are so many great games you can play on the LeapPad. There are also lots of book titles to choose from and this device has a camera plus a video camera for lots more ways to have fun.
I have heard that they are a HOT item for Christmas a may sell out so if you are thinking about getting one for a special someone as a gift I recommend you do it soon. It comes in green and pink too.
