Sharing is caring!

Christmas is just over a week away. Are you done shopping, wrapping, and getting ready for the big day? I’m not! I still have a few last minute gifts to get, stocking stuffers to buy, and let’s not get started with the wrapping. I have a feeling I’ll be spending a good chunk of next week wrapping after my littles are in bed because I am determined not to be up until 4 am again on Christmas morning. Those last minute items I have to get? Well here’s a few fun suggestions!

It’s as easy as that – no glue needed. When finished, add the jump ring so that you can wear your charm and allow it to set for a few minutes. Don’t forget to admire the charming cuteness of your creation! Use the jewelry stand as your work space and drying station.

American Girl Doll – Is there one thing your child really wants for Christmas? For us, It’s an American Girl Doll. Our daughter has been talking about one for weeks and little does she know this gorgeous doll will be waiting for her Christmas morning. I never had one growing up, but seeing the excitement of my daughter talk about these dolls is heartwarming. This weekend we’ll be heading to our local store (at Park Meadows Mall) where she can browse around and loo at everything they offer. 

American Girl offers a variety of dolls from bitty babies which are for toddlers and older to their Historical Characters which come with a book about that dolls story. There are so many dolls to choose from and I love that you can find a doll to look similar to your little one. In addition to dolls they have doll clothing, accessories, and doll & me matching outfits. The possibilities are endless with American Girl and it could be your little ones new BFF.
