Looking for gift ideas that combine fun with function? You are in the right place! I am a very practical mom, at times to a fault. But when it comes to Christmas time, I leverage this to come up with gift ideas that are fun fillers for stockings and functional items around our home and in our lives that the kids also light up to unwrap and get to enjoy. Use the upcoming holiday sales to shop some of my favorites and my kid's top picks from over the years.
 
In this episode, we chat about:
10 of my favorite food-related stocking stuffer ideas
10 of my favorite food- or cooking-related gift ideas
10 of my kids' favorite general gifts from over the years (that I would recommend to any mom wanting a guaranteed good gift idea at varying price points!)

For each of the items listed (or to search ones similar), be sure to check out the links below.
