TBL: The Bits List

What is going on? Christmas and this whole holiday of giving have just gotten way out of control. I was easily spending over 1K each year just on presents alone and it left me in debt for months. I got wiser and instead of giving each friend a gift, I participated in Secret Santa and gave only to the kids since there were only two among my friends and family. Well, I don’t know what is in the water but all my friends and family managed to pop a kid out for 2007! Arrgh! My list just got longer. Instead of 2, now there are 11. How did that happen? My husband and I better start working on a little one for next year!  Here are some items we picked out for the kids this Christmas (3 months to 3 years old).

Robeez Infant/Toddle Slip On With Socks $22.37 (amazon.com)
They are so adorable and they come in all sorts of colors and characters.

LeapFrog Leapster Learning Game System $59.99 (amazon.com)
I’ve been told this is one of the hottest item for kids.  It says it’s good for ages 4-6 but it won’t hurt if I get this for a 3 year old, either.

LeapFrong Leapster Education Game Cars $24.99 (amazon.com)
A game companion for the system. I had a hard time selecting between Cars and

Stuff Animals – Chipo Chimp $12 - $32 (anthropologie.com)
You know how kids have their favorite bear, toy or blankie and tote it around everywhere they go? This is just it!  It is soft, washable and huggable! I got one for a co-worker’s little girl earlier this year.

Strawberry Sweetie Hat - $28 (anthropologie.com)
This is soooo cute. It won’t look good on me but it’s just perfect for a little girl.
