The Voice of Mom

Are you panicking because tomorrow is the last shopping day before Christmas? Don’t! You still have plenty of time to pick up some great stuff if you just get out there.

For the tween and teen girl in your life, check out the Fashion Angels and Project Runway kits. From fashion and shoe design to pet clothing design to actually creating your own cool clothes, these kits contain everything you need to get started designing.

For the tween and teen boy, Deca Sports is new for the Wii game console. Now don’t be mistaken: this is not Wii Sports. Deca Sports has 10 games including badminton (which I have heard great things about). Many of the sports are intended to be hands-on with the controller and nunchuk.

For the women in your life from tween to adult, check out Bath and Body Works’ holiday collection, which includes ultra-soft lambie plush animals, cashmere teddy bears, slippers, and delicious lipilicious lip colors. There is also the ultra-plush lambie lap blanket to curl up with while reading a good book. So soft.

And for boy or girl teens and tweens, there is the eerily smart Huri Humi. The tiny electronic gadget has a voice and face and will respond to certain things you say. Totally wild. And if your friends have them, the Huri Humis can talk together. Available at Target.
