{This post is in partnership with buybuyBABY} I have a confession about Caroline’s Christmas gifts…last year I wrapped toys she already owned and put them under the tree. I felt like she had no concept of receiving presents and knew we had a lifetime ahead of us of that.

This year Caroline is starting to get into the holiday spirit and it’s so fun to watch Christmas unfold through her eyes! Here are a few things on my Christmas list for her…

The ball pit is very necessary for entertainment, especially when we enter Chicago winter hibernation mode. Books will always be one of my favorite things to gift. Caroline is officially Elmo obsessed and I can’t wait to see her excitement when she unwraps him Christmas morning! Check out buybuyBABY‘s top 200 toy picks for more gift ideas.
