Christmas Shopping almost finished!

Yes, my Christmas shopping is almost completed except for Cleveland. He is the hardest person on my list. He buys the stuff he wants and there is really nothing that he needs, so I am always at a loss when it comes to shopping for him. So this is my list of suggestions for Christmas for kids, especially if you have a little cute six year old named Emma.
Christmas Presents and Stores for Shopping online
1. A pillow from Southern Sassy Pants. I found this woman on the net. I loved her personalized pillows. Someone in my family is getting one this Christmas, but don't tell her. Look at these adorable pillows at http://southernsassypants.ecrater.com/.
2. A lamp from Discovery Store. This is a cute design your own lamp. It is a cylinder which allows you to slide in pictures or artwork. Look at this lamp at http://shopping.discovery.com/product-65876.html?endecaSID=11D7F78EF502.
3. Anything from Hearthsong. I love this company. They have unique and cute stuff, not the cookie cutter stuff from Wally World which everyone in town has three of toys. They have fun stuff. I really like their creative games, dress up stuff and old timey toys. Toys are made of wood not plastic. They also have great sales. Check out the Connectagons. Look at this company online http://www.hearthsong.com/.
4. Anything from Mindware. I love this company for it's games and creative play things. They are good games for all ages and creative art kinds of things, too. Look at the game Quirkle for a fun domino type game. This site is great for parents and teachers. Look at their stuff at http://www.mindwareonline.com/.
5. Siggs Water Bottles. Emma and I both have a water bottle from Siggs. They are made of a single sheet of aluminum. They come in great fun designs. They don't leak. Every other bottle I sent to school with Em would leak and ruin everything is her backpack. They come in several sizes, too. Check out their latest designs at http://www.mysigg.com/.
6. Anything from Magic Cabin. This is a sister company to Hearthsong. They came some of the same stuff, but not all. This company carries lots of fairy dolls and toys and creative toys. They also have unique things like balancing butterflies and stone blocks. Check them out at http://www.magiccabin.com/.
7. All kinds of things from Kids Surplus. This company carries close out items and overstocks from children's stores. I have bought top line coats, Haba jewelry and other toys. They even carry clothes and shoes. Check out this company at http://www.kidsurplus.com/.
8. Photo gifts from Exposures. I love this company, too. I have purchased custom photo coasters with old rodeo photos of my Granddad and my Daddy on horseback, and custom photo makeup bags for the women in my family. Great stuff at this website: http://www.exposuresonline.com.

Biggest tip of all: Before you purchase from any store online, search for coupons for that store. Just goggle coupons and the store name. Occasionally, you will have find coupons.
