These custom Valentine’s candy boxes are the easiest (and most inexpensive!) DIY gifts either. Great for kids and significant others alike! This year for Valentine’s Day we are going on a mini family getaway (aiming for experiences over things this year whenever possible!) buuuut I still wanted to do something special for the loves of my life.

Stocking Stuffers for Toddlers

Kindness Calendar for Kids
Help encourage your children to be kind this holiday season with this customizable printable kindness calendar for kids & lots of family friendly RAK ideas! If you’ve been here for awhile, you know that before I turned 30, I completed 30 Random Acts of Kindness. It was such a rewarding experience completing each random act of kindness (RAK) as well as sharing it with my readers- many of which were inspired to do their own RAKs! I didn’t want spreading kindness to stop with my 30th birthday, so when my friend Jenna, at There’s a Shoe for That, asked me to partner up to create a Kindness Calendar for Kids,…

50+ Open Ended Toys for Toddlers
Buying gifts for toddlers can be hard. They are learning and developing so quickly, that it can be difficult to find toys to hold their attention and that they won’t outgrow in a few months. For this reason, the toys on this list are very intentional. They are mostly open ended toys, meaning that they can be used many different ways and encourage creativity and imagination. The other great thing about open ended toys? They will grow with your child! Unlike some of the more popular battery operated toys that only hold children’s interests for a few moments, these toys will be used and loved by your little one for…
