Welcome to the annual At Home With the Johnsons Christmas gift guide for children. As a Mother of three children, a pre-teen, a little one and something in the middle, I have done my fair share of Christmas gift buying only to be disappointed to see the heaps of plastic toys unwanted and not played with less than a year later. This is why I have made it my mission to bring to my readers this guide of incredible and meaningful gift ideas from wonderful brands that your child will love this Christmas and for years after. I hope you enjoy!
