There’s something to be said about the holidays. It’s a time to reflect on the year as well as rekindle memories from years beyond this one; it’s also a time to gather around and carry on traditions and create memories that will spark the same warm feelings in the next generation.
When I was 18, I left Utah and went to Miami, Florida to be a nanny. Here I cared for an infant born into a Jewish home. That year I celebrated my first Hanukkah and was able to share my belief system of Christmas. It was a wonderful learning experience.
Pottery Barn Kids 2011 Holiday Collection will make this year magical as your family gathers to decorate your home, give gifts, and/or travel to be with loved ones. While this great collection is available online it’s also decking the shelves at a Pottery Barn Kids near you.
My kiddos keep adding pillow pets to their wish lists. This year they got something that I think is far more quality, adorable, and uber soft. Meet Pottery Barn Kids Polar Bear & Moose Pillows.
Pottery Barn Kids Polar Bear and Moose Pillow
They are perfect for over the hills and through the woods to Grandmother’s house or any travel destination. They are incredibly soft both to “pet” and to squeeze. I love the traditional twist and think they are the most adorable kids travel pillows ever!
Forget about traveling; it’s a great companion and pillow. The pillow easily transforms from pillow to friend with the ease of velcro. To prove their cuddly, each of these pillows can be stuffed into a backpack for a friend far away or a nap-time pillow.
I can’t decide which is more adorable the polar bear or the moose. They are both cuddly and the gingham addition to each really makes them festive.
When you’re looking for a plush gift item, please give them the gift of one of these pillows from Pottery Barn Kids. They’ll be giving you hugs and dreaming of sugarplums on them!
Other items that make the list for this holiday are:
For the Home:

his reindeer seek a happy spot by your hearth or tree. And our Snowman is there to greet them! The Mantel Plush Décor is fashioned of soft felt with jingle-bell collars and antlers that can be posed.

And then there is the item that tops my holiday wish list. I really, really want this:
