These are such fantastic gift ideas (thank you). Some of my friends and family are super hard to buy for. I DREAD searching for their gifts lol. However, I did find a book that I will be gifting to quite a few moms with younger children. A group of us started talking about how to tell your child Santa isn’t real. UGHHH – the worst topic. I found a book that helps deal with this issue in a fun and special way. It’s called “Secret Santa Claus Club” by Jeff Janke (https://www.secretsantaclausclub.com/). Instead of making it a SAD and traumatic conversation ask your child to join the club of keeping the spirit of Santa alive and adding in some Christmas magic. It’s a club only they can know about and there are rules and responsibilities. One of the book club moms is trying it this year and she is excited to see what her daughter thinks. I HIGHLY recommend this wonderful book and I truly appreciate this clever new way to talk about Santa with my little ones. I hope you and your readers will check it out. Happy holiday reading everyone!
