2020 Holiday Gift Guide: ThinkPsych First Actions ABA Flash Cards

This season, help your little ones' language skills grow! The holidays are the perfect opportunity to gift fun activities that will boost children's language skills and provide engaging bonding time together. I'm always on the hunt for quality educational gifts and Think Psych First Actions ABA Flash Cards are a fantastic choice to enrich vocabulary and strengthen comprehension skills. While these flashcards were developed as a tool for children with language delays, I highly recommend them for toddlers and preschoolers. The durable double card stock construction creates a thickness that will endure over time and each action is depicted in three ways, using a male, a female, and an illustrated drawing.  Research shows that providing kids with at least three different instances of the same verb helps them to generalize the meaning of the word — another point in this set's favor!

2020 Holiday Gift Guide: Give the Gift of Comfort this Season with EZ Feet Slippers!

Every year I place a pair of new slippers under the tree for my husband to open on Christmas Eve. He may be one of the pickiest people I know when it comes to footwear, and this year one of his biggest requests was to find machine washable slippers with indoor/outdoor soles. I didn't think something like this existed until EZ Feet came to my rescue! I found high quality slippers for the both of us that are completely machine washable, slip-resistant and super comfortable. Not to mention stylish! Check them out below...

2020 Holiday Gift Guide: DK Workbooks for Kids #educationalgiftsforkids

 

Every year, we include educational gifts as part of our gift giving for all of the children in our family. As the babies grow to school-age children, we love including fun school subject workbooks and DK is one of the best brands around. This year, we’ve chosen the Grades 1 and 2 Spelling workbooks as well as the Grade 1 Language Arts Math and Science workbook. They’re perfect for our kids. DK has a wide variety of high-quality workbooks to choose from, so it’s worth browsing the entire selection. They even offer introduction to coding workbooks!

2020 Holiday Gift Guide: KURU Footwear GRACE Sporty Ballet Flat for All-Day Comfort and Style! #footpainfree

This holiday season, give women the gift of all-day comfort! I love KURU Footwear and their GRACE Sporty Ballet Flat is my top pick for its exceptional comfort and style. The built-in arch support is like nothing I've found in other shoes. I can't tell you how many cushionless designer flats sit in my closet because I can't wear them for more than an hour without feeling the pain from my back to my heels. For those with Planter Fasciitis, heel pain, bone spurs, fallen arches, and other afflictions, it's exciting to find an option that reduces foot pain AND offers a stylish design. I love the breathable mesh, KURUCLOUD EVA Midsole, Non-marking rubber sole, and 6mm heel-to-toe drop for better pressure distribution from heel to forefoot. Whether you are splurging on a pair for yourself or sending a pair to a loved one, this functional and stylish shoe is a fantastic, thoughtful choice. It's worth taking the time to peruse their Men's and Women's boots, sneakers, and sandals, too!
