Christmas is in 38 days and Hanukkah is just 23 days away–not to mention all the other winter holidays that will be celebrated over the next couple months. I love this time of year but it tends to mean a lot of stuff. Especially if you have well-meaning relatives who can’t wait to buy your kiddos the latest gadgets. Even with buying our children minimal toys, things sure pile up quickly when you have six kids. Since excessive material objects are not really our jam, today I have a different kind of gift guide for you. This practical gift guide for kids is perfect for those who have too much. And they’ll still be excited to open them too. Some links contain affiliates, all opinions are my own.
