Ultimate Gift Guide for Toddler Boys: Top Toys and Fun Ideas

 Hey y'all!

Christmas is just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more excited to share what I’m getting my 2.5-year-old boy this year! Finding gifts that are fun, engaging, and suited to his age has been so much fun, and I’ve put a lot of thought into choosing presents that will spark his imagination and keep him entertained. 

If you’re on the hunt for gift ideas for your little one, I hope this list gives you some inspiration to make their holiday extra magical! Let’s dive into the goodies under our tree this season!

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Toddlers

Hey y'all,

As the holiday season approaches, it's time to start thinking about those little surprises that bring so much joy to our toddlers—stocking stuffers! Finding the perfect items to fill those tiny stockings can be a fun challenge, especially when you're looking for toys and goodies that are both entertaining and budget-friendly. 

Whether you're after sensory toys, books, or practical items, I've got some great ideas that will make your toddler’s eyes light up on Christmas morning! Let's dive into the best toddler stocking stuffers that will bring smiles and keep them (hopefully) busy for hours.

Our Favorite Newborn Baby Products

 Hey y'all!

I'm finally in the fun stage of life where so many of my friends are pregnant and having babies! I love that they're coming to me asking questions for what we loved for E as well as parental advice for a newborn. 

I thought I'd start a series on my blog of all of our favorite products with detailed descriptions of why we chose certain products and advice on things we'd do differently with our next baby! SO if you are pregnant, or have a friend expecting soon, I really hope you find some useful information and new favorites. You got this, mama!

If you prefer just a straight list, here's a link to my Amazon Storefront that has almost everything I'm mentioning here, and plan to mention in the future.

When shopping these links, I may earn a small commission from your purchases. This is no charge to you but helps me pay for all things texasweettea. Thank you for making my dream possible!

I also really recommend looking for things second-hand when possible! Most of the sleepsacks we got were thrifted or from GoodBuyGear. GBG is an online store where you can purchase thousands of baby items that are used, new, or even open box! If you use my link to sign up, you'll receive $25 toward your first purchase of $50 or more. (full disclosure, I'll also earn a $25 store credit - thank you for supporting me!)

Amazon Prime Day 2023

 Hey y'all!

While it may be a million and one degrees outside, it's time to start shopping for Christmas - right? Kinda, sorta, maybe?? 😅 

Now is the perfect time to take advantage of the Amazon Prime Day Deals. Prime Day is Tuesday, July 11th, and Wednesday, July 12th, 2023. It's Amazon's deal event exclusively for Prime members, featuring personalized deals and top brands.

If you don't already have an Amazon Prime Membership, you can sign up here for a 30-day free trial. Because we all know you can't miss out on Taylor Swift's music featured in the newest season of The Summer I Turned Pretty on Prime Video.

And for my current and soon-to-be students, you can sign up here for a free 6-month trial. When you're looking for a tie-dye t-shirt the night before your next date party, you'll be happy you can just Prime ship it overnight. (And yes, that's an emergency situation!!!)

I’m on the hunt for some Christmas gifts for E - he’ll be almost 2 which is CRAZY! We need some new clothes, practical home items, and a few fun toys. Also books, because even though HE can't read, I can. And mom is getting a little tired of reading The Little Blue Truck 15 times in a row...

I’m also hoping to pick up some new kitchenware for our home. We bought a house last year, and our kitchen has SO. MANY. CABINETS. I’m ready to ditch the spaghetti-stained Tupperware and replace them with grown-up glassware and storage. 

So here are some of my favorites AND things I'm keeping an eye on! (PS - I'll be adding some day of deals to my Instagram Story so be sure to follow along there too!)
