My Holiday Gift Guide is back with more gift ideas than ever! I separated the kid categories by age and interest (based mainly on the wish lists of my own kids through the years), added a bunch of new categories (like the Future Politician and the 80’s kid), and included tons of great options for adults (like the Pandemic Ready Dad and the Chrissy Teigen Wannabe). For the first time ever, I have categories for tweens, teenagers and grandparents too. Oh, and Pet Lovers! I promise, if you scroll through the whole guide, you will find unique ideas for everyone you know.

I also added a diverse toys category at the top. This category is obviously great for kids of color, but I think it’s also important for white parents to add diversity to their kids’ toy boxes and book shelves. This is especially easy to do with the Barbie Fashionistas line which are $8 each. There are literally hundreds of doll options with different skin colors, body sizes, hair textures and disabilities. This isn’t sponsored; I’ve just noticed that having a variety of Barbies for my kids has made a huge difference in how they play and how they view the world.

Okay, without further ado, here is…
