No more scrambling around, trying to think of the perfect birthday present. Here’s a list of gifts guaranteed to please!
Do you have any home-run gift ideas to share? Leave a comment! I’ve had great luck with these electronic piggy banks and Bluetooth karaoke microphones. For little ones, I love Pantone: Colors. It’s a great way to show that there are many different shades of each color (a difficult concept when you think about it!).
