Ultimate Boy’s Gift Guide
Have a son age 0-12? This Ultimate Boys Gift Guide is for you! Our son is now 12 and I thought over the last years about the gifts he has loved most and played with again and again. Oh memory lane is a sweet place. The lists are divided by ages 0-4, 5-8, 9-12 and then our favorite big gifts are at the end! Have a child that is 4? Maybe also check the 5-8 list because each child is different. You get the idea!
Click any toy name to be taken right to the link to get it! Merry Christmas!

I love the Green Toys brand. They are sustainably made kids toys. We loved this ferry boat for bath time but it would also be fun in a zero entry pool on sitting on pool steps once a child can swim.

Gabb Watch
For those you that know me, this one might surprise you. I feel pretty passionate about kids and technology. We recently got this for my 12 year old son to use in specific circumstances and have really been happy we did. Like when we are dropping him off to do something with friends and needs to communicate when we are picking him up like youth group or a golf outing. He otherwise does not wear it daily. We chose the GABB watch over some other options because it does NOT have a camera to do pictures and video.
