The Handpicked Doc McStuffins Gift Idea Guide

Christmas is two months away though we’ve been in Christmas mode for quite some time here. I am the person who will listen to Christmas music all year. And I wouldn’t mind having a room dedicated to just Christmas. But I digress. Squeaker is not yet old enough to write a Christmas list but she certainly has no problems pointing to stuff. We’re trying that method for her when it comes to picking out her list of gifts for both Christmas and her birthday. One of her recent interests is Doc McStuffins so we’ll start with that and have similar toddler handpicked gift ideas over the course of this week.

That’s not for a lack of trying because we did try. And maybe some holidays were salvaged or at least scaled down. Easter just couldn’t work for us and Halloween required a little bit of savvy on my part. Thanksgiving… well, we’re mostly okay. It’s a food related holiday, after all, and as long as we had food that was okay for Sweet B; we were fine. I just never expected for her to eat what everyone else was eating. Knowing what I know, it just wasn’t realistic. So that brings me to Christmas. My favorite holiday and…
