Happy Wednesday. Today, Jennifer from A Merry Mishap is sharing her favorite presents. Enjoy!
+To Give I’m excited to give my son gifts this year. He just turned 3 and I think he’ll enjoy Christmas and gifts so much more this year than the last. I’m excited to give him a set of the white Fort Standard balancing blocks, but I know the things he’ll be most excited about is a Buzz Lightyear doll, a replica from the movie. He’s become such a fan of Toy Story recently and it’s pretty adorable.
+To Receive : I have a few small things I’d like, not much though. One of the things I’m hoping for is another Vitriini box. I have a smaller one but I’ve been wanting a larger clear one for ages. Fingers crossed!
+Ever Gotten : When I was little I begged my mom for this baby doll that looked realistic. It came in a tiny cloth diaper and closed eyes and it smelled like a newborn. It was so tiny and similar to a real baby, I was desperate to have it! I could imagine myself wrapping it up in a blanket and carrying it around with me. I must have asked for it a few dozen times, my parents had to no choice. Needless to say I got the doll I was hoping for and it pretty much made my year!I’d love to hear your what you’d love to give, receive, and the best present you’ve ever gotten!

As a kid I don’t remember any present being AMAZING, probably because my birthday is 11 days before Christmas. If it was big I probably got it early and was told it was for both days or something. I do remember really wanting a Pebbles doll (from the Flintstones) and LOVING it. Still have that doll in fact.
As an adult, my horse that I got for my fiftieth birthday. THAT was the childhood present I always wanted.

my sisters birthday is 5 days after christmas and i always felt bad for her because there are always a lot of combined presents. my birthday is in july and i loved it being in the middle of the year. i would have loved a pebbles doll and a horse, wow, is def worth the wait.
