Pick Up Last-Minute Toys at Target!

Target is my by far my favorite store for buying just about everything my family needs. It's a a one-stop shop for me year-round, but it's even more my premiere store during the holidays. I've purchased several toys that my daughter will absolutely love from the store. From a Dora the Explorer guitar to PlayDoh to a Doc McStuffins figurine, she's going to be thrilled when she sees what "Santa's" brought.

If you're still on the hunt for the season's best gifts for kids, look no further than Target's Top 20 Toys! This roundup of the hottest toys for the holiday also comes with a gift to you—free shipping! But since it's so close to the "big day," you'll be happy to find most of the items listed still available in stores nationwide.

Here are a five of my top picks from the list:

Furby Collection available here, $54

Leapfrog LeapPad2 Explorer Kidz Bop Music Pack available here; $129.00

Baby Alive Baby Wanna Walk Doll available here; $39.99

Disney "Bounce Bounce" Tigger available here; $26.99

The Children's Place: The 'Place' To Be!

Ever since my daughter, Ava, was born (nearly 3 years ago!), she’s been heavily outfitted in clothing from The Children’s Place.

 Her entire wardrobe is at least 90% TCP, while the other 10% is divided between Target and GapKids. The fact that it’s only a couple of blocks away from my apartment probably helps, but even if it weren’t conveniently located, I’d still shop there frequently. The prices are always affordable and the clothes are nothing short of adorable. Plus, the quality is excellent, which is a huge selling point because we parents all know how quickly kids can wear out clothes!

Last week, I was invited to a “shop day” at the store for a mini shopping spree. And since I enjoy shopping for Ava more than for myself, it was a real treat! Ava and I were surrounded by sparkly sequin skirts, glittery holiday dresses and plenty of comfy PJs. There was so much cute stuff to choose from, I had to tear Ava away from the overload of goodies, especially the eye-catching accessories. After about an hour or so, we left with several items including: boots, jewelry, tops and bottoms!

One of my favorite pieces, Sequin Ombre Skirt; $24.99

If I had a son, I’d totally buy this cozy-looking Flannel Shirt for him; $9

We couldn’t have walked out of the store without these snazzy purple Pom-Pom Chalet Boots; $17
