What We're Buying Our Girls This Holiday

Nighttime reading is a must in our household, so I'm thrilled when I find a book I like to read repeatedly as much as my daughters. Eva Chen's debut children's book Juno Valentine and the Magical Shoes ($12) will be a big hit with my girls who love marvelous stories that also include inspiring women.

My middle daughter loves to cook, so this Klutz Kids Cooking Set ($17) book is perfect for providing inspiration for her next meal. From adorable scrambled egg buddies to rainbow fruit kabobs, she'll be making meals in no time.

Our girls are so excited to bust open their quarterly Rockets of Awesome subscription boxes, but we also stock up on one-off items that I know they'll love. This Rockets of Awesome Sequin & Velvet Heart Tee ($27) is great for holidays.

My girls decorate their backpacks with charms, and this Unicorn Pom Pom Keychain ($12) one from Museum of Ice Cream combines so many of their favorite things. It's sure to put a big smile on their face when they open it up this holiday.

This Heroic Girls in Books Poster ($29) is the perfect way to provide inspiration for my daughters' next read. It's like a POPSUGAR reading challenge for girls.

Hasbro's Don't Step in It! ($13) is family fun for everyone — well, except maybe our dog JJ. This hilarious game will get the girls going as they make small fake poops out of playdough and walk blindfolded across the mat. There is also a unicorn edition if this one is too real to handle.

Need an activity for your kids to sit quietly and concentrate on for hours? Let the Kahootz Latch Kits Rainbow Mini-Rug Sewing Kit ($14) be your new best friend for some peace and quiet. Once they get the hang of the latch, they'll be hooked.

Our youngest daughter is obsessed with these at school, so we'll be getting her a set to build and play with at home. The Magna-Tiles 32-Piece Clear Colors Set ($50) is guaranteed hours of fun and great for brain development, so it's a win-win.

My youngest daughter is also obsessed with My Little Pony, so I want to bring home the original for her to play with. The My Little Pony 35th Anniversary Unicorn & Pegasus Collection ($16) features the nostalgic toy in its original form for a 35th anniversary.

Need a mini makeover in your kid's room? These Sunnylife Mini String Lights ($18) will help your kids feel like they redecorated their rooms with a beautiful unicorn glow.

My oldest daughter is obsessed with the Perfect 10 Scrunchie Set ($18) from Urban Outfitters. With rainbow colors and a velvety feel, she never leaves home without them and can always use more.

Squishies are the trend in our house that never get old. The girls collect them, use them to relax and de-stress, and enlist them for imaginary play. The jumbo size of this BeYumi Slow Rising Toy ($21) makes it especially fun for the holidays.

Another surprisingly easy present for my girls is their favorite lip balm. The EOS Lip Balm Pack ($21) will be one they can split up and share. It's great for a smaller Hanukkah gift night, or makes the perfect stocking stuffer.
