Even though Andy is a grinch who hates holidays, I can’t stop browsing the internet for cute Christmas stuff for kids. By the way, I thoughly enjoyed reading each one of your comments on his GWED25 post! I laughed so hard and cried.

Anyway, I post my favorites on Pinterest (here is my “baby” board) to organize, and revisit the board later to see what I really want to buy. Most of the time, I end up making something similar on my own, instead of buying it, but it’s still fun to browse and dream. Etsy is also a great place to search for gifts for your little one. I like browsing their treasuries, which are small collections of items curated by etsy sellers each having different themes. For instance, if I’m looking for something pink to decorate my daughter’s room, I would search the treasuries by typing “pink, girl, room”.

I thought this girl’s dress coat pattern by BurdaStyle was a great gift for yourself or your craftsy friends. I can’t imagine how expensive it would be to buy a dressy coat like this at a store. Especially considering that your kid will grow out of it very soon. With less than two yards of wool fabric and some sewing skills, you can make this on your own!
