There is nothing more magical than seeing a child’s face light up when they unwrap a present – especially when it’s from Santa! While you may not be Santa or Mrs. Claus, but more Elf, we have some great suggestions that will create memories for years to come. And it’s unlikely these toys will get relegated to the “donate pile,” they’re great quality and will be treasured forever…or passed on to other smaller friends as the kids grow. Check em’ out:
