Shh! We Have a Plan
Step 2 Art Center
The Great Creations Art Center has everything your petit artiste needs to creatively express themselves: a whiteboard, chalkboard, molded bench seat, art clips for displaying their awesome works and tons of trays, cups and a caddy for holding all of their supplies.
To buy: Toys R Us, $100
Interactive R2-D2
Little (and big) "Star Wars" fans will flip over this walking, talking R2-D2. He comes with a remote control programmed with over 1,000 interactions, and walks and spins. Seriously. This is the one everyone will be fighting over.

Tech Will Save Us DIY Kits
Their website says these innovative DIY kits are "for little people with big imaginations," and we can't disagree. The kits are meant to encourage even the smallest kids to make, code, play and innovate with technology, and include things such as The Mover Kit, where kids make and code a wearable toy that reacts to movement, or an Electro Dough Kit where kids can use dough to make crazy creations and then watch them come to life with lights and sounds!

Islabike
For little kids that are serious about biking, the Islabike is genius because it's perfectly proportioned for little kids with thoughtful details like short-reach brake levers that are perfect for small hands. You can also customize your bike to make it more of a mountain, hybrid or road bike. Soon, you'll have a little mountain biker on your hands!

Christmas PJs
You know you want to! Family Christmas pajamas are an awesomely cheesy tradition to start and I can't help but love these Fair Isle "Star Wars"-themed ones. They come sized for every member for the family from Baby to Dad, and are so cute you can totally get away with wearing them year-round.
To buy: Hanna Andersson, $40-$48
Camper Play Tent
An awesome alternative to those kid tepees that are everywhere, this hipster camper has a real awning and curtains, so little ones can really feel like they're hidden away in their own special space.
To buy: Land of Nod, $199
