Even though I told myself not to wait till the last minute I am finding myself still shopping these last few weeks before Christmas. Here are some really awesome gifts I have come across the last few days that would make great gifts for different members of the family.
This gift is great for those kids with magical imaginations. The Irish Fairy Door Company and their?award-winning handmade Irish fairy doors help fairies easily relocate into human homes, classrooms, gardens and woods?and provide a beautiful and unique way for children and parents to interact and play through the power of imagination and belief.?

Etch A Sketch, the World’s Famous Drawing Toy turns 55 in 2015! This toy brings me back to my own childhood and is a great toy with no batteries! With the classic Etch A Sketch, children can twist and turn to create pictures. Just turn both the horizontal or vertical knobs and watch the magic screen as lines begin to form. It’s easy to draw, all it takes is a steady hand and a creative spark. When finished, just shake it and start the fun all over again.? Always portable, the 6.25 x 4.5 inch screen is perfect for home or on the go.

Unlike a manual toothbrush this brush features’sonictechnology that offers 30,000 vibrations per minute and a deep cleaning that users will love.
Geeks in space! Explore what it would take to set up an extraterrestrial farm on another planet. Experiment with a nutrient gel to grow garden cress in hydroponic tubes without soil.

For the mom, dad or any adult that doesn’t want to get wet there is this extremely nice umbrella from ShedRain. It is a compact umbrella that also offers vented canopies engineered to resist windy conditions. Opening to a large 54″ arc yet it folds down to just 15″ making it great to stuff in a bag or keep in the car.
