Am I commenting for specific things? Or will I get picked to win something random? Either way, I love it, and I will tell you that we are setting up an old computer for our 3.5 year old son for Christmas so I would love to win CD Rom games for him.
Thanks!
Looks like some great stuff!!
Ooh, I absolutely love the Bhangra workout. I used to do the Jane Fonda workouts with my mom!
this is great, Jess! I see a bunch of stuff for some of our little family members.
Amazing job, Jess! Woo hoo!
My engineer husband would love the Lincoln Logs for Christmas! Thanks for the chance to win! 
Hi Jessica,
I'd love anything! Thanks so much for getting all this stuff and keeping such a great blog!
Michael would love that ladybug game.
Great holiday picks! I would love the Twilight Sea Turtle, First Name puzzle or Boca Spanish set for my little one. Thanks, Jessica!
My 18-month-old daughter got the tea set from her grandparents a couple of months ago, and she loves it. It's so simple and safe, and the pieces are sized just right for her little hands. The colors are beautiful, too-- you'd never know they were so "green"!
They also have a cookware/dinnerware set that's going on her Christmas like.
Thanks for the ideas! I especially love the whimsical hat!
My girls would love the recycled paper kit, stacking tree, fairy book, paper dolls, sea turtle and ladybug game. Great gift ideas.
Jess,
You got some great loot! Would love to win some and take a tiny bit of financial burden off this year! Hope you are doing well.
Thanks for the fabulous gift ideas!!! My daughter would love the Hannah Montanna set, Billie Brown Audio set and the Biometric Safe.
We were planning to go light this Christmas, but you have inspired so many great ideas! I've been thinking about getting my 14-month-old son a globe, because we are big travelers and about to take our first overseas trip with him; I hope to encourage a love of travel in him too! He is currently obsessed with feeding his stuffed animals, and I have been toying with the idea of a baby doll. Other things on your list that look like great fits for his current obsessions: pixar world of cars, lincoln logs, wooden car carrier and the nerf football.
Thanks for all of the great ideas!
Twilight turtle is on my list for Sophie's transition from crib (and crib 'aquarium') to big girl bed sometime in the early new year. I was looking at the recycle paper kit for my clssroom-fun! Babies for the babygirl... and Sam is getting into games so I like the ladybug game. Too much fun!
Like your ideas...lots of variety!
Especially the recycled paper art kit.
Wow, lots of nice stuff for free. Love your site...use it all the time.
This is great! I have several items on my list for my sun, especially pandamania!! The Whimiscal hats are really cute!
Love so many of the gift ideas. I was planning on going light, but it's so hard to do when you see so many wonderful & educational toys out there. With a baby on the way, it would be such a help to win something, but it probably won't stop me from buying some fun toys I saw here! Thanks for displaying them!

Thanks so much for all the gift ideas. Your website truly is wonderful!!
Great gift ideas for under $50! Oh, I hope I win!!!!
oh my, those Charbridge hats are toooo cute! Now that I have moved from sunny California where there is no need for one, I can't wait to pick up couple for my two babies. They will bring a little sunshine into the Wyoming winter that is coming. This is great, thanks Jessica.
Thanks for posting!
Wow, wonderful gift and toy selection! I love your blog, so many wonderful ideas. I'm hoping to win the biometric safe along with any other of these children's items. I have 2 children and many nieces and nephews!
I LOVE your gift guide! What a great job you did on it!!! LOVE everything you are giving away, especially the Lincoln Logs and the Discovery Kids paper studio.
Thanks!
Hello Jess,
This blog you have is helpful and saves us time and $. We are fixing our basement to be a family room and any of the suggested things will work nicely in our soon to be family room.
Thank you and happy holidays.
Ligia
Those Whimsical hats are too cute!!!
The kids would love the Discovery walkie talkie watches.
Happy holidays!
Sweet collection of toys! My car and truck obsessed boys would love the chance to win the wooden car-carrier, dump truck, or super cute Cars book!
Thanks!
This is to Jill. I am so excited about the tea set, so I enjoyed reading your review of them for your daughter. i looked on the pajama squid website and they have the dining/cookware set you were talking about too!
they are both so cute, i don't know how i am going to choose!
I have always wished that someone would make fun whimsical winter hats for adults too. They look beautiful and I bet are lovingly crafted. The Bhangra dance video looks like too much fun. Jane Fonda of India? I can't wait to check her out!!
Zutano clothes are great. I have many friends expecting babies and would love to give them this clothing set!
Oh my goodness--this is amazing! What great gift ideas!!
Great idea - love your website. I am especially interested in the paper recycling studio, the globe, and the other discovery store toys but would be happy with anything. Thanks for the ideas, Mary Beth S
What wonderful stuff! My 7-year old son would love the biometric safe. He's big into things that lock. I also have a 20-month old son who would love any of the appropriate toddler toys/books or the cute hat! Thanks so much!
Jessica,
What great ideas! I'm always at a loss for cousins and friends kids, so this list helps a lot! Thank you.
Thanks for organizing this list and for your awesome website in general. It's been a great resource for me as a new mom who is also new to the area. My son would love the lincoln logs if we are selected.
Hiya lady! Pls put me in the running for any of the following: Biometric Safe, lincoln logs, paper recycling, globe, walkie talkie, Knex Dump truck, meet the CARS book, Tonka Racer and NERF football.
----Patti
The leg warmers are too cute! I have a nine-month old 'diaper free' baby who needs these. Would love to let him run around in his cloth diapers but while keeping his legs warm!
I love all of the gifts for the kiddos!
I loved Lincoln logs as a kid. I bet my little guy would, too. Babylegs and the stacking tree would also be fun for wintertime.
Lincoln Logs are terrific! I've been checking out log sets & was tempted to get a different set, but then I noticed that the other sets were made in CHina & good old Lincon Logs were NOT. That sold me! Real Lincoln Logs are definitely on our gift list.
LOVE BABYLEGS!!! The person who thought of them is ... my hero! I have 2 pairs and have been giving them as gifts to everyone whos had a baby! I would LOVE another pair for my little girl! :o)
With 3 kids to buy for this year a free pass on one of them would be terrific! Any of the following would work for one of my three -- thanks for the inspiration!
I was at Columbia Mall today and they were constucting the Santa village and trees were up and decorated -- is it really only November 5th?
Electronic Safe (essential with a 1 year old walking around)
Lincoln Logs (yea, a non battery toy!)
Smart Globe
Walkie Talkies
I Spy for Wii
Meet the Cars Book (for my husband, he has a Hudson)
Bounce Back Racer (maybe a R/C that lasts more than a day?)
Dressy Daisy boll (sweet for our little one)
Wow - what an enormous pile of goodies - some great reasonable gift ideas, thanks. I'd love to be thrown in the hat for the Lincoln Logs, Globe, Care Bears/Strawberry Shortcake DVDs, Pandamania, Fairies book, Paper dolls, Glow Turtle, Name puzzle, ladybug game and any of the lovely baby dolls.
Thanks!
I love the focus on smart presents. The recycling kit would bring some follow-up education to my boys who trapse down to the sidewalk with me every time I sing a silly song about recycling. they hear me say I abhor waste, but i think it is still a theory, not a practical idea to them. they are only 3.5 and 1.5. However, this would be a great way to make it more concrete.
so many of your picks--specifically the Pajama Squid ones-- are green and chic. bravo for showing how cool sustainability can be.
Hi Jessica!
Great ideas! I needed more ides for the girls; xmas list. My husband is getting a Wii for xmas and the kids love doing I spy books so that Wii game looks great for the whole family! Love the fairy book and everything else...thanks!
Ashley
That portable dollhouse is too cute for my little girl.
love the globe -- great idea!!
I love some of these gift ideas. The wooden semi with car carrier would be right up my 4 year old son's alley. It was a good "find" on your site. I only knew of one other wooden toy making company and thanks to you, I now know of another one!
I wanted to try some dance/workout videos with my kids (especially since it's almost rainy season and we won't be playing outside so much) so the Masala Bhangra workout video would be fun to try.
I love these ideas. Thanks for the giveaway!
My kids would love ANY of these!! These are awesome picks!
Hi and thanks!
This is a great list -- It gave me a lot of ideas for both of my kids, and my nephews, too!
My five year old would love the following.
Care Bears Flurries of Fun 3 DVD Collection $23.99
Strawberry Shortcake Holiday Dreams 3 DVD Collection $23.99
Great products and reviews. I hope we can win something!
I used to play with lincoln logs, I'm so glad they are still around!!!
Thank you for providing such a great list of products and gift ideas for the holiday season! It would also be great to promote as many local, independently-owned toy stores as possible.
Wow! Great gifts, all. My big girls would love the Walkie Talkie, the panda game, or the fairy book. Thanks for a great blog!
Nice picks. I played with Lincoln Logs growing up--love them!
I love the Lincoln Logs are features in your gift guide. I remember them from my own childhood and will have to remember to introduce them to my kids!
I want everything!!! What an incredible list, Jess! A few of these items were part of my childhood too!
So many great gifts. Thanks for the opportunity to win one!
Love the gift guide! My girls would love the sea turtle (can you say "sleep issues"?) and the Story Time felt dolls set! Thanks for the opportunity to win something great!
There are so many great ideas here. Love them all!
The Lincoln Logs remind me of the good ol' days when I was a kid. Both my hubby and my 2-1/2 year old would LOVE them!!!
Ooh, I'm getting excited about the holidays already! Great gift ideas!
such a cool round-up of things to look out for! It would be sweet to score any of these cool gifts. I have 3 kiddos (a baby, a toddler, and a school-age kid) so this variety was eye-candy!
everything looks great -- especially the pay doh ice cream shop, which I read you review of! Thanks for doing this!
I love the stacking tree & baby dolls!! Would love to win!
Steph
You continually amaze me. Great kids gift guide. We have the bounce back racer and love it.
Such great stuff - thanks for the ideas!
These are great- we love building so the Lincoln Logs would be a great addition to our small set. I also think my girls would love the Boca Beth Spanish learning set.
Did you say ethnically diverse paper dolls? Wow!
you rock jessica! all this stuff is super cool and awesome, my 18 mo old daughter would love most of it!
they all look great, but i really love the carebear dvds!
My oldest son would love the Biometric Safe!! Keeps his little brothers out of his super important big brother stuff 
Even if we don't win thanks for the great idea for a gift for a 10 year old.
Gotta love Lincoln Logs!
I love your choice of wooden and learning toys, things I am always looking for! So many 'retro' gifts as well, I think I might have just as much fun playing with them.
Thanks!
Thanks for putting this gift guide together--I love that you mixed in local retailers with internet based ones. It gave me good ideas on how for people that ask for ideas for my baby girl who's birthday is right before Christmas.
Great work as always Jessica! Must be a passion for you---I am amazed how you find the time.
Jane
What a cool collection of toys!
Hey,
Love that you have the time & energy to do this stuff!! God Bless You,my friend....
Cheers,Kristen
Oooh, Lincoln Logs. Ohhh, paper dolls, fun, fun, fun masala bhagra. Everything here looks lovely. Maybe I'll win -- though Z-1 and Z-2 will be the real winners!
Great post, thanks so much!
Zutano clothing is fantastic. It wears really well. Is very soft and can be worn for a long time. This summer, my daughter, who wears a size 6 was wearing a 3T Zutano dress as a cute swing top. The prices may seem higher than other lines but the clothes are well worth it.
great Christmas ideas on here! thanks. My kids would love the Zutano Kids Boutique and games on here! thanks for the ideas too!
Amy
All of these gifts would be great for people on our lists!
I love the kid's legwarmers! Thanks for the great ideas.
oh how times have changed! i used to drool over great outdoor gear for myself (which now sits dust-covered). Now i'm SO psyched about a new toy truck, lincoln logs (seriously, my boys will have to edge me out to play with them), and a book on cars. ah, parenthood!
Wow, I love so many of these toys. I think the felt "paper" dolls are among the best. My 2 older kids (ages 3 and 5) already love a felt fire engine scene that they have, and I'm sure my daughter would love the dolls. The Lincoln logs, globe, turtle, dollhouse, and Zutano's clothes are great as well. Thanks for doing this!
Eve
The safe and the hats are too cute! I just added 10 more things to the kids Christmas lists! hehe
Thanks for the great gift guides. It makes choosing things a bit easier. now if you could only take care of the driving. Thanks for entering me into the free gift drawing. Happy Holidays!
All of it looks great! Thanks for doing this!
I like toys made from natural materials, so the car carrier from East Laurel Woodcrafts looks like a winner.
my son would love any of these - ok - well maybe not the glitter studio
I seriously need to visit the Pajama Squid store you continually reference!
Wow, this is some awesome stuff! BTW - we learned about the Pajama Squid through your apiss site and now it is our go-to place for baby gifts and shoes.
Thanks for posting - not just the toy list but in general. Even though my daughter is only 4 mos. old, I am still interested in what's happening and what's out there.
Izzy-Bear would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Strawberry Shortcake DVDs. Not like she needs anymore, but she would LOVE them. (The safe is cool too!)
Thanks for doing this!
great idea and cool gifts! Too bad we don't have a chance at the globe or Spanish Learning CD Would love to have those Lincoln Logs for my son, though
Thanks, again!
Love the Charbridge Whimsical Hat. Bummed that I couldn't order one (store has shut down temporarily due to too many orders!). It would make my day to win one! Great list of stuff.
Wow! you've done a fabulous job collecting wonderful items to give away. My kids are crafty and creative (ages 7 and 9) and would love to have most of the items for older kiddos. Most especially the walkie Talkies and paper recycling kit! Thanks for finding all these items!
I like the Stacking Tree, the Sesame Street building set and the Ladybug Game. Thanks for the ideas!
Very cool ideas! Love the classic Lincoln Logs, Cars book, Playdough ice cream shop, and Ladybug game...you made shopping easier this year!
Amazing giveaways! I would love to take home the Biometric Safe, Lincoln Logs, paper recycling studio, felt paper dolls, HM Glitter Studio, or any of the DVD sets.
bonggamom (at) yahoo (dot) com
What great giveaways! Loving the baby legs or anything wooden, particually the tree and lincon logs!
You never cease to amaze me with your fantastic blog! Love the Enviro - Friendly Tea Set, the Twilight Sea Turtle, Dressy Daisy Doll, Bounce Back Racer, Mobile House Dollhouse, or Sea Turtle Tee.
I love leg warmers...I wear them too - BabyLegs Baby/Child Leg warmers!
Hey Jessica I would loveeeee any of them, but the lincoln logs, faery book, playschool doll or car carrier semi would be the best!
Thanks for doing this!
The section is just too much for me to deal with - such great ideas! But I have to say, that the Charbridge Whimsical Hats are just up my daughters personality. Shes such a little ham and I would love to win one so I could show off that personality! Thanks for helping with such great ideas!
What is not to love in this section? Great stuff.
hi - it's Tom, Patti's husband. Our pocketbook would love the free stuff too... put me in the running for any of the following: Biometric Safe, lincoln logs, paper recycling, walkie talkie, Knex Dump truck, meet the CARS book, Tonka Racer and NERF football.
With so many kids to buy for, these are great ideas. thanks so much. Its hard to pick just one favorite!
so many cool gift ideas. my boys would love them all! hope we're one of the lucky ones!
great stuff!
Wow -- when did leg warmers come back? Rock on! My kids are in love with their Lincoln Logs and Kid K'nex -- anyone would be lucky to get those!
oooooo the Discovery Kids FRS Walkie Talkie Watches are hot! I'd wear those too And my girls would dig them.
You have complied a good list of items. Some of them are classic like the Lincoln Logs and the Playdoh. Others look new and exciting to try.
Wow! Amazing how the Lincoln Logs have been around so long!! What great toys and stuff!
I want the Lincoln Logs for myself!
These toys are great! The Ladybug Game is one of my kids favorites!
My 2.5 yr old spotted Lincoln Logs the other day when we toured a preschool and looked very interested! I think Santa will deliver them to our house this year. Great selection of gifts here!
Thank you for this wonderful holiday gift listing. We played with Lincoln Logs as kids, learned Spanish and love the Boca Beth learning series, and always wanted a dollhouse or Twilight Turtle. The stacking tree is also pretty clever...thanks again for gathering this list together.
Hi Jess - this is Cam. I'm Patti's sister from Denver.. visiting home (silve spring) for the holiday weekend. I'll take ANYTHING in this category. (If i win, call Patti at home.)
I would love to see my lil' darling dancing around in those adorable leg warmers!
These gifts are adorable for my little one and my big guys too!
I think my girl would love the Lincoln Logs - and I'm all for startin' gender equality early. Go Barbara the Builder!!
love these ideas! i never know what to get for the kids and the kids in the family... great fun posted!
I would love to win something from here! These are so cool.
We could always use more Lincoln Logs and I love the walkie talkie watches!
I would love to win any of these toys!
Thank you!
janetfaye (at) gmail (dot) com
