The new Glow Pets | Christmas Gift Guide
Last Christmas, Jolly found a total bargain, and snapped up a Pillow Pet for his little sister in a sale. She’d seen them on TV and coo-ed over them, and he just knew she’d love it. And she did.

All I want for Christmas… is these Kickers | Christmas Gift Guide
It’s no secret that we LOVE Kickers. Ever since my own teens I have wanted a pair of Kickers of my own. My children have all worn them… which has done nothing to assuage my own yearning, obviously, and has simply proved to me how great they are (they’re fabulous kids shoes – well constructed, roomy, sturdy and robust).
