Yeah, I know I promised you this post yesterday, but it\u2019s the time of year when I panic, procrastinate, and go hide in my closet with my laptop and headphones to watch Love Actually. (<\u2013Dear CPS: that is hyperbole. I would never, ever do that, unless everyone was napping.<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Anyway, tomorrow is relative, right? Some of you might not have read that post until yesterday, in which case, I\u2019m actually right on time. Which makes me early, by my standards.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m stop talking now. Oh, just kidding, I won\u2019t. Quick reminder: if you buy anything from Amazon through these links, I get a teensy part of the profit, which I desperately need, because pee couch.\u00a0 Just FYI, if you add something to your cart through my link but don\u2019t buy it within 24 hours, I no longer get the bonus pennies. So please don\u2019t do that!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s play Round 2: Gifts for Girlchildren!<\/p>\n

Get This: <\/strong> Bubble Guppies Dress-Up Doll<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Not That:\u00a0<\/strong> Hooker Fairy Doll<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"If you\u2019re like us, you don\u2019t let your kids play with Barbies because something about body image and detrimental messaging or something. I don\u2019t know, it all gets fuzzier as Christmas gets closer and my care-o-meter drops. But a rule is a rule, so we don\u2019t do Barbies. Here\u2019s a fun fact, though: just because a doll is a \u201cfairy\u201d, not a \u201cBarbie\u201d, does not mean that you are going to be giving your daughter a tiny replica of Titania. You might be giving her Commercial Fairyland\u2019s answer to Brittany Spears that time she went out in public with no undies on. That\u2019s why we go with Bubble Guppies. She might also be wearing just undies on her human parts, but 1) you can\u2019t remove them, 2) she comes with extra, full-length clothes, and 2) she\u2019s shaped like a normal girl-child, not a Navi. Minus the tail, of course.<\/p>\n

Get This: <\/strong> LEGO Movie Cloud Cuckoo Palace<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"lego<\/a>Not This: <\/strong> LEGO Friends 41035 Heartlake Juice Bar<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"Because some girls like Star Trek and astronauts too<\/a>. Granted, my Charlotte is the prettiest princess ever to grace the female sex, but the Lego friends set we got her last year was a zillion times easier (and more boring) than the one we got her younger brother. We don\u2019t need Lego\u00a0dumbing down its toy sets<\/a> on account of our daughters\u2019 XY chromosomes.<\/p>\n

Get This: <\/strong> Snap Circuits<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Not That: <\/strong>Goldie Blox and The Spinning Machine<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Because being a girl is not a disability<\/a> requiring special girl-toys that are just not as awesome as the already existing boy-toys.<\/p>\n

Get This: <\/strong> Andy Macdonald Skateboard<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Not That: <\/strong> Penny Board<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Because penny boards are tiny and cute and adorably retro, but they can be dangerous<\/a> \u2014 ESPECIALLY if you have a kid like my Sienna, who will have mastered riding it and be attempting tricks an hour after it\u2019s out of the box.<\/p>\n

Get This: <\/strong> Doc McStuffins Doctor\u2019s Bag<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"Doc<\/a><\/p>\n

Not That: <\/strong> Uncomfortably Accurate Doctor\u2019s Set<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

Because the Doc McStuffins\u2019 kit might not be extensive, but it\u2019s sparkly, and sparkles are fun. It also does not contain items that might lead to terrifyingly detailed descriptions of surgical procedures (scalpel and clamp, really?) nor does it contain instruments of potential fratricide (no thank you, hammer and tongue depressor). But most importantly, nothing in the Doc McStuffins\u2019 kit needs batteries, which means less lighting-up-making-noise nonsense on Christmas day. You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n

Get This: <\/strong> Rainbow Projector Night Light<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Yes, it really does look like that<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Not That: <\/strong>\"\" Flower Nightlight<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Because why would you want a flower on your wall when you can have a rainbow over your bed?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s it for round 2. Go forth and embrace capitalism! Be back tomorrow for Round 3: The Boychildren.<\/p>\n

(And by tomorrow I mean Sunday.)\"\"<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
