With the holidays quickly approaching, I know I’m certainly wondering what to get the little ones in my life (or the not-so-little, as they’re becoming). How do you shop for kids who’ve become quickly assimilated into a hyper-tense world of video games, the internet, and R-rated movies?
The CajunBagLady on Etsy brings to your little one’s stockings Crayon Caddies, such as the My Little Pony one featured (as I do love me some ponies). What could be more perfect for your toddler to tote around while accompanying you to post-holidays crafting sessions? Featuring designs with cars, Carebears and the Incredibles, you’ll be wishing these hip little bags were around for your artistic tools when you were a kid!
Inspired by MissMalaprop’s own Christmas list, I’ve been tempted to pick up animal adoptions through WWF for those closest to me in my life. Adoptions are available in a mixture of donations; for $25 you get a formal adoption certificate, a full-color photo and Species Spotlight Card– double that and for $50 you get a cute stuffed animal of your adopted species.
The best part about a gift like this is your ability to teach children the importance of enviromentalism and animal protection, as each adoption “donation will be used to fight threats like habitat loss and poaching faced by critically endangered species and to support WWF’s worldwide conservation efforts.” 
(And since holidays are about giving, I may just adopt myself a sweet little orangutan.)
And for the baby boy or girl in your world, this crocheted little dino is sure to be a bedtime cuddle buddy for years to come. Made with Tender Lovin’ Care by WigglySee, you’ll want to pick up some of his buddies like the Donkey and the Martian for an intergalactic bedroom zoo of your own!
Oh, those are all too cute & great gift ideas.
