Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? I just started mine as I had a bit of a late start this year. I use to have it all done before the kids even went back to school. But the problem with that is I would often pick things up and forget where I hid them. So I need to find myself a happy middle ground. Somewhere not too early and not too late. I guess it could be worse. My husband waits till Christmas eve to get his shopping done. Stores are surprisingly busy but the deals are great.
My kids have all been making me lists and leaving them by my desk for easy reference. I love that the older kids have a few games on their lists. They also have tech items and clothes. My youngest still has the fun list. Lots of toys and games on hers. It is always fun to shop for her. Hasbro has been one of our favourite brands when it comes to holiday gift giving over the years. Chances are some of your favourite gifts over the years are from Hasbro. So many great toys I grew up with now available for my children. Plus so many new fun ones too! A couple of my faves that will be under our tree this year are below.
