Toys, Shoes and Gifts for Children

The last thing you want to do when you are shopping for gifts for your children or others is to purchase something just because it is cheap! You have probably figured out that gifts like that don't last much past Christmas day, and if you are looking for an alternative, you have come to the right place! We believe our children deserve meaningful gifts that they can enjoy for months and years to come. We have selected our favorites and I'm sure you will like them as well. Happy shopping!

Soft Star Shoes

The best thing about our favorite gifts for children is that there is a variety of each kind. So if your recipient likes what you get her, you can get a different one, or larger size of the same thing next year! For instance, a great winter gift is Soft Star Shoes. These are absolutely the most comfy slippers on the planet. It is June right now and I am wearing mine as I write this. The sheepskin inner not only keeps your feet from sweating during the winter, it keeps them cool in the summer, too. Unlike most people who experience dry, cracked heels in the winter, I noticed just the opposite. Once I thought it was too hot to wear them, my feet started drying out. So I put them back on and they kept my feet healthier, softer, and much nicer looking. Of course children don't care about that, but they do like all the fun colors they come in! They also like being comfortable and Soft Star Shoes are top notch when it comes to comfort. Soft Star Shoes are made in the USA, so when you purchase them for your favorite youngster, you will support a business right here at home! Soft Star Shoes also come in sandals and casual/dress shoes that can be worn outside the home!

Vegan Shoes

Not a fan of leather shoes? No worry! Vegan shoes for the whole family are also available from Soft Star Shoes or Isabooties for little ones.

That Baby CD or DVD

If music is your cup of tea, here is a great gift for someone in the 0-5 year age range. That Baby is an audio CD or visual DVD of songs that you would recognize- remade to be more child-friendly. Personally, I like the music myself, so the CD is good for much higher ages, while the DVD is really for children five and under. While many toys are broken or discarded before the day is even over, That Baby is the gift that keeps on giving for years of enjoyment at home, in the car, and even in MP3 players!

I know that shopping for children is difficult, especially when you hear all the stories in the news of toxic toys made in other countries. Many well-educated shoppers are choosing to shop closer to home, which is nice for the children who are getting high quality, long-lasting products that are fun and educational. If you have any questions about the gifts listed here, please don't hesitate to let me know. My email is at the bottom of every page!
