2018 Gift Guide for Kiddos of All Ages!

It's the most....wonderful time....of the year! 

 Hip, Hooray! Thanksgiving is in just four days, which means Black Friday is in just five,  and Cyber Monday, in just eight...aka it's time to prep to get our holiday shopping on! Last year was the inaugural edition of my "Christmas Gift Ideas for Kids of All Ages," and now, it's time for the Kiddo Gift Guide 2.0. I included many of the items from last year's list but also included new ideas that either I or YOU, you awesome people you, suggested. 

 Now. Here's how you should know that I truly love you guys and appreciate your support of my lil' ol' blog so, so much: This year, in this exact post, almost all of the items are linkable. Meaning, click on the suggestion and it will take you directly to the website to purchase (in 99% of the cases, it's Amazon. Three cheers for Prime!). ;) It took forrrrrevvvvverrrrr to add all the links in, but Merry Christmas from me to you! 'Tis the season to make things as easy as possible for y'all! :) 

 Before I dump this massive list on you, a couple of caveats: 
(1) Check ALL age brackets. Sometimes, a gift that is listed for one age would still be GREAT for older ages (or vice versa). So, don't just check the bracket for your child's age. Check them all out! 
(2) Make sure to scroll to the bottom of the list for some general ideas for all ages AND for some good companies/websites to peruse who have lots of great gifts; and 
(3) I am not a video-game momma. We do not currently have a working gaming system in our home. At some point, we undoubtedly will, but we don't now. So, you will not find any video game suggestions on this list. 

 Alright, here we go. Ho, Ho, Ho, y'all! Happy Shopping!
