Once upon a time I was the perfect holiday shopper. I had my presents purchased, wrapped and neatly stored away by the end of September, ready to be pulled out and placed under the tree. My Christmas cards were signed and addressed and ready to be sent out on Black Friday. Somewhere along the way this plan went astray and I’m usually trying to finish up purchasing and wrapping presents a few days before Christmas. If this is you too, do not despair! I have some fun solutions for everyone on your list. I received samples of the products, but all opinions are my own.
B.T. McElrath Chocolatiers Individual Chocolate Bars: Need a quick stocking stuffer? Who doesn’t love receiving chocolate? But these bars aren’t ordinary, they are “unique confections to savor slowly and taste with your eyes first.” The flavors include the traditional Dark Chocolate Bar and Milk Chocolate Bar along with intriguing flavors like the Red Chocolate Bar or the Buttered Toast Chocolate Bar. I was intrigued by the Salty Dog bar, made with 70% dark chocolate, toffee pieces and sea salt, and the Prairie Dog bar, made with 40% milk chocolate, toffee pieces, toasted almonds and sea salt. Individual Bars can be purchased for $6 and a 6 pack of mixed bars can be purchased for $36.
Annie B’s holiday caramel tin: Handcrafted caramel made in small batches and slow cooked in copper pots? Sign me up. Each tin contains 45 pieces of rich, buttery caramel in original, sea salt and caramel. These tasty little treats are gluten free and produced in a nut free facility. The caramels will keep 12 months if stored in the freezer or six months in the fridge. They are delicious eaten plain, but can be added to cookies or brownie recipes or melted to be drizzled over ice cream and fruit. A great gift for coworkers, teachers or friends, tins are available for $30.

A favorite of celebrities, each piece is handmade when the order is placed and can be customized with initials to create a unique, personalized item.

Extra initial charms can be added for an additional fee if you want to create a personalized gift for a mom with all of the children’s initials. Because the order is handmade, most items take two weeks before the order is shipped. Usually $42, the necklace is on sale now for $38.

Made of lightweight materials and easily inflated within twenty seconds, it can be deflated and stored flat when not in use.

Designed for ages four through eleven, this seat is available in a design for boys or for girls and retails for $29.99.
Booginhead bib cape set: Do you have a messy eater? My kids were always happy to scatter their food. I expect the new baby will be the same. The PVC free Super Power Wow Bib and Cape will help keep your little superhero clean while encouraging those super powers. Available for both boys and girls at a cost of $7.99, the cape attaches easily to the Wow Bib with velcro.
Prince Lionheart diaperBAG: Want a diaper bag that both mom and dad won’t mind carrying? This bag from Prince Lionheart will do the trick. Featuring a dirty duds waterproof pouch, because what child doesn’t have some dirty clothing, usually at the worst possible time, along with an easy to clean changing pad, this gender neutral bag is functional and stylish. This diaperBAG is available for $35.00 and would make a great gift for a new mom or dad.
Feltman Teddy Bear hat with rolled edge: I am a sucker for babies in hats, probably because my children didn’t have a lot of hair and needed a hat to keep them warm. The Feltman Teddy Bear Hat, designed for newborns, is made of a soft, stretchy cotton knit fabric . Available in blue and white or white and blue, an adorable teddy bear is stitched onto the front of each hat. The hat is available for $19.95. If you haven’t seen Feltman’s adorable baby clothing for boys and girls, be sure to check out their site! This would make great baby shower gifts too.
