What is everyone agreeing on this year…? It is the unusual holiday season this year brings. During 2020, we have all collectively experienced the most appalling year in generations. I say that should be more of a compelling reason to give the right gifts to those we love and care about. In a year that has kept us apart from our near and dear, let’s let them know that they are still in our thoughts as well as in our hearts.

Here is Belle Vivir most complete gift guide for everyone of our family and friends. From the host who will for sure appreciate one of the chic gift sets from Julie and Ev to the kids in the family who can certainly used a laugh while playing with their new Squeakee the baloon dog. Here are our best git ideas for those you love.

kids gift guide, anne claire giant teddy bear

Ah to be a kid again… and have fun parents who gift us the cutest toys, chicest clothes, and most memorable experiences.  To say that kids are more than ever fortunate is an understatement.  As parents, we are more informed about the things that can make a difference in our child’s life, more so than previous generations.  On the other hand, nothing makes a parent happier than being able to provide those aforementioned things to their children.  Granted we can give them a $700 giant teddy bear or a $59 backpack, there is no better satisfaction than the joy of our children when they are happy.   In this Kid’s Gift Guide you’ll find happy and exciting gifts for all the kiddos in your life.

If I were a child, I would definitely love a Toddler rattan bow chair.  Teach your children the beauty of classic with this Classic Pedal Car.  Oversized Teddy Bear.  Mini Sailor Backpack in red.
