Last Minute Gift Guide: Kiddos
If you’re anything like we are, we spend the holiday season basking in the warm lights, sounds, delicious foods, and the visions of sugar plums dancing in our heads. Just kidding.. we’re on the job-site racing against the freeze-up or in the office in a year-end frenzy. The Friday before Christmas we’re typically like… OMG GIFTS?! WHOOPS!!
After a long season, it can be a real buzz kill to venture out to the stores during this week with all the other panicked shoppers, mutually frenzied in procrastination. The lines, the anxiety, and the surprising amount of mental energy it takes to find something that the discerning recipient will actually like.
We’re there with you!
And we’re also here to help!
A lot of these we have listed here are available through Amazon —aka Santa for adults—so you can get ‘em under your tree ASAP with your Prime membership (pssst.. it’s free to sign up for a month-long Prime trial!)
And now you can have a Merry Christmas.
You’re welcome.
🎄 xoxo!

“Excellent toy for children and adults! It was a huge hit with a 9 year old and a 4 year old who built a space station with it immediately.. The pieces could be joined in many ways. The pictures of things that could be built were very good also. I enjoyed playing with it and I am 73 years old!”

The soft lining ensures kids stay warm whether they're corralling wayward goats or running around the park.”
