This post may contain affiliate links and CorporetteMoms may earn commissions for purchases made through links in this post. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
I’ve featured letter pendants in the past, but I can’t help writing about another one!
This gold gothic pendant is a little edgier than other ones I’ve seen. It’s made of 18k gold plating on 94% recycled sterling silver. This would make a great, personalized gift — consider buying two or three for a set of initials.
Mejuri’s Gold Gothic Letter Pendant is $58. It’s also available in 14k gold for $168.

This may have been covered previously, apologies if so. My kids are 4 and 6 and play with our knockoff Nugget all the time. I’d like to get them a Nugget Chunk this year, but I’m curious if people have experience with that versus a true Nugget – which might get more playtime?
Just a vent. Currently visiting my dad, my sister and her family are as well and I was trying to explain to my sister (her kids are 1 and 3 and her 3 year old is very very easy going and easily entertained) how one of my 7 year olds really cannot stay home all day as she has some sensory challenges and needs to move has really been struggling lately, seeing a therapist, just started on medication and i thought my sister would understand since she had similar challenges as a kid…her response was ‘it’s good for everyone to get out of the house”…um yes, i agree it’s good for everyone to get out of the house, but not everyone ‘needs’ to in the same way (we are a bit limited with our car situation and so not everyone could go to the supermarket with my dad…though there are scooters to play with, a park we can walk to, etc).
We want to buy a balance bike for a one year-old for Christmas. We see the Strider bike everywhere but any other models to consider? We would use it on paved paths and trails.
My kids have to take the WPPSI (will be for K and 3rd next year). Any advice on how to prep them? I don’t mean practicing for the test, as I know that’s now allowed, I mean what kind of games/exercises can we do at home? More asking for my youngest as he’s never been “tested” before, just various assessments in school.
He naturally loves games like SpotIt, hidden pictures, puzzles, brainquest cards, etc. which I know are helpful. He’s not the best at deeply explaining things when asked (just not his personality; he’ll keep it short/pithy).
Asking here because the main page will tell me that I am helicoptering for buying clothes for a young adult. For Christmas my 18-year-old wants comfy pants that do not look like athleisure to meet her college choir’s travel dress code (for the bus and the plane, not on stage). She wants a soft knit material like yoga pants, not a woven tech fabric. I think the LLL Align palazzo pants might meet the requirements but could be borderline. Any other suggestions?
What Christmas collections are people building for their boys? Thinking something where you buy a piece every year
Any ideas for experience gifts for a kindergarten boy? Chicago area recommendations in particular? Last year a monster truck show was a big hit.
In the stocking discussion below, a couple of people mentioned how they use the stockings as just more items to unwrap. Do most people wrap the items that go in stockings? My family has always just placed them in the stocking, but that also means it just takes a few minutes to empty it.
For the moms sharing custody whose kids aren’t with them on Thanksgiving – do you do anything with your kids to celebrate Thanksgiving on a different day, or have any other traditions around the holiday on your off years?
This is the first year they’re not with me on Thanksgiving, so we’re going out to lunch on Wednesday then visiting a book store and getting our nails done (they’re girls) before my co-parent picks them up. Interested in what others do or any ideas to make the day/holiday feel special.
What are you getting the 4th grade girls in your life? I’m stuck on mine, who is a wonderful kid but just in the weird “in between” of not really wanting toys and also not wanting Big Kid stuff. Her list so far is a bunch of random junk she circled in a Target ad but I know she won’t really play with.
FWIW she has a big sister who was very into Taylor Swift and our local NBA team in 4th grade so I catered to that, and clothes. This kiddo is a dance kid (who already has a dance bag and team jacket) who very much does not want clothes for christmas. She is going to see a broadway show but the timing didn’t work to make it a christmas gift and there are no other good concerts/experiences over the next few months that she will like. She is a big reader but loves her Kindle and we have a million books already so books aren’t the easy answer either.
What I have so far: new ski goggles, lulu belt bag, new bike helmet (she said hers is too small). Maybe a lego kit (her big sis asked for lego flowers, they both might get those from Grandma). Possibly a Jellycat.
Do you give necessities like toothbrushes in a Christmas stocking for young kids? I saw someone I follow online talk about it and I don’t think it’s the vibe for my taste but just curious what others do. Assume it’s not a charity drive stocking situation.
A question to follow up on yesterday’s audio book discussion – do you think it is possible for a kid to read too much?
If left to his own devices our only child (8) will spend half the day reading, which is obviously a good thing, but I worry that it comes at the expense of imaginative play. If he is not reading, or playing Nintendo (only on weekends), he will play some sports related games (throwing ball against the wall, shooting in basement), organize his card collection or mope.
How do we encourage him to pick up a toy? Recommendations for toys that foster independent play or art?
If he plays with anything it is Lego or plus plus – but will usually only do that with prompting. We try to encourage play dates and then keep the play date off the Nintendo, but obviously that is not always possible. DH and try to carve out time on weekends to play, but that is rarely imaginative. Kiddo is in aftercare most days – so only has 2 hours awake at home most evenings (incl eating dinner etc.).
** and yes I realize that a kid that likes to read a lot at age 8 isn’t really a problem… but with Xmas gifting coming up i would love to renew our toys to peak his interest in open ended play a little longer and you all have great ideas.
How much do you feel like you have to counter the messages your kid gets from other people and places about life? Somehow my 5 year old learned that men have short hair and women have long hair (even though lots of girls in his class have short hair and so does his sister). We saw a family at the park and he said, “that woman is acting like a man!” It took me a while to figure out what he meant but I’m pretty sure he meant she had short hair. I told him anyone can have any hair, and men and women can do the same things so you can’t say someone is acting like a man or a woman, just people. But I think he gets a lot of gender-norm talk from others (including his grandparents, which is another issue).
