This year I’m seeing lots of kitchen playsets for kids (maybe more kids are eating in because of the bad economy!). Anyway, here’s a great set for only $44.97. It has stovetop, oven, microwave, phone, and more. Very cute! (This would make a great gift to donate to your daycare). Order from Walmart.

If you’re thinking of sending a gift basket this year, you might want to consider this. My husband and I received a breakfast gift basket last Christmas from Wolferman’s, and it was wonderful! A nice departure from the traditional fruit basket. This one is very affordable, and comes packaged in a holiday crate filled with English muffins, crumpets, cinnamon roll, and more. $34.95. Order from Wolferman’s.

I think this is a cute gift that will be used year-round. You may want to order one for yourself as well. It’s a S’Mores Maker. Comes with four roasting forks, but does NOT come with the 2.6-oz. can of chafing dish fuel that it requires (so be sure to include that if you are sending as a gift). Only $24.95. Order from Plow & Hearth.

Lincoln Logs make a wonderful gift for kids. Perfect for little fingers and educational too. I love this set because it’s huge (115 pieces), all wood, and comes in a durable storage tin. You may want to give as a gift or keep at your house for when you have little visitors. Only $39.95. Order from Plow & Hearth.

This is one of the hottest toys this year, at least according to my 11-year-old son. This model has a spinning aluminum G-tube (whatever that means!). The perfect toy for kids and teens who are too old for toys! $97 from Walmart.
