We loved these at Halloween, but we think these high quality, made-in-Canada, dress-up toys make a great gift year-round!

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
We tested this game in the office recently with rave reviews by young and old alike. Playing your favourite oldy-but-goody with up to four players at the same time is addictively fun.

Vilac Mini Red Rally Car
I love stores like Babythoughts.ca that promote natural, developmental toys. I also love the idea of giving a small, but high quality toy as a gift. (Because we all know how much stuff our fortunate kids get from everyone else.)

We adored these when they first arrived at the beginning of 2009. With their unique embroidered graphics and extra-long, stay-put sleeves, they're still one of the best mittens around.
