Christmas activities for children: Little paint sets and Christmas crafts are always a popular gift with young children (just be sure to stuff a few baby wipes in the stocking with them).

winter accessories: Cute winter tote bags, muffs, mittens and scarves are sure to keep any lucky girl cozy in the cold winter temperatures.
