Now that all the turkey and stuffing have been eaten and all of the dishes put away its time to start thinking about Christmas. As the mom of two young boys I am always trying to come up with ideas that will be unique and different as well as something that would be special. When I first saw the Chasing Fireflies catalog I was immediately hooked. They have such amazing products.
Chasing Fireflies is a company dedicated to not only celebrating childhood, but also to celebrate parenthood. When I see my son’s eyes light up when they go down the slide at the park by themselves for the first time, or when they see the first Christmas lights of the season, it is magical for me too. That’s why Chasing Fireflies is such a special company.
They’ve taken great care in selecting magical children’s products that will charm, surprise and delight. The best part is that you can craft an entire holiday or special occasion around their amazing products.
This year my sons have really been into construction vehicles, so what would be better than a “digger themed” holiday? There are so many different themes that you can choose from including trains, cars, construction, and princesses — the options are almost endless.
Last summer, E loved playing in the dirt. He would get his buckets, shovels, and cars and take them to a dirt pile in the backyard. This went on all summer. So when I saw the Ride on Digger Toy (RV $138) on the Chasing Fireflies website I knew this is something the boys would LOVE!
This digger can be used in a sand box or in an approved spot in the backyard. I am planning on buying the boys a swing set this year so this would be perfect to use in the sandbox area. Modeled after the real thing, this digger has heavy-duty wheels, which let it move, and the seat turns 360 degrees.
In addition to the digger, Chasing Fireflies has some fabulous products to complement this construction theme. The long sleeved, personalized Big Rig Tee (RV $38) is just too cute! I bought one for both R and E so they can each have their own for when they are working at the “job site.”
The boys really love reading stories, and of course since they are boys, they love any stories about cars, trucks, trains, or diggers. That’s why the book Goodnight, Goodnight, Construction Site (RV $17) is perfect for them. In this adorable book, Dump Truck, Bulldozer, Excavator and more finish the last of their tasks, then go to sleep. With cute rhymes and vibrant illustrations, my boys will love this. They will also love the plush excavator toy (RV $27) that you can purchase to go along with it!
These are just a few examples of many of the high-quality toys that Chasing Fireflies offers. If you are planning a themed Christmas gift (or if you are like E and have a birthday a week before Christmas, even a birthday gift) Chasing Fireflies is the first place you should check out!
