The Best Stocking Stuffer Ideas for 6-Year Old Boys

Finding fun ideas for stocking stuffers for 6-year old boys is no easy task!  Some years are just harder than others and while this year is full of fun new toys and games, it’s a little harder to find small and inexpensive things that can fit into a stocking that they’ll still really love. 

But once you dig around, you’ll find that there ARE some really fun stocking stuffer ideas out there that your little boy (and you!) will absolutely love. 

I hope this helps you wrap up your shopping! This is such a fun age, so enjoy as much of it as you can! 

Have a great holiday this year. Merry Christmas!

The Best Gifts for Anxiety Relief

If you’re on a hunt for the best gifts for people with anxiety, you’re not alone.  Maybe it’s a sign that the stigma is going away or maybe our lives are really becoming more stressful.

Obviously there are different levels of anxiety, so take that into account as you pick the right gift.  Sometimes all we need are some great self-care items that bring up our mood, and other times we need some heavy-duty help to manage anxiety that can often feel debilitating.
