Holiday Gift Guide for Kids




We all love kids toys- they remind us of simpler times, when pogo sticks were cool and hyper colored shirts meant you had recess and played tag. Fast forward and have a look at the toys of today. While glancing at my list, my husband laughed and said no kid would be caught dead carrying this violin bag, I beg to differ- it’s adorable, no?

Have a wonderful holiday- see you in the new year!

Before you pack your bags, dust off that keyboard and eat the leftover chocolate on the conference room table, consider getting something thoughtful for your in-office family.

OK Go just released their latest masterpiece, All is Not Lost, in partnership with Pilobolus and Google Chrome. You’ll probably have a spreading smile on your face just as I did while watching- it’s as simple as it is complex and challenges the web’s capabilities like Arcade Fire’s The Wilderness Downtown. Enjoy!
