I’m starting out my gift guides for this year with gifts for kids. I have three nephews, but I have to admit I prefer shopping for girls. Fortunately, Trevor has a niece, so I get the best of both worlds.

Winter is not even officially here, but as I’m writing this I’m wearing gloves inside my house because my hands are icicles. Today’s gift guide focuses on one of my favorite parts of gift giving: stockings. I love the idea of a fair isle stocking filled with old-fashioned sundries.
