Gift Giving Guide (Lots of links for easy shopping!)

Since it's almost Black Friday, and that means deals, deals, deals, here's a list of tried and true gifts we've bought through the years.  Hope you find something for your special someone :)


(List contains affiliate links, which don't cost you anything extra but help us get a teeny tiny kickback if you shop through my links - thanks in advance!)

  2. I don’t see any games on your list and we are a big game playing family, so I thought I’d suggest a few of our favorites: quirkle, dragonwood, sleeping queens, rat a tat cat, rush hour, Camelot junior. Also, my 10 year old son loves his Rubik’s cube and pyraminx, and perplexus.
