Best Toddler Christmas Gifts

I know...I know. You're all wondering what you can get your toddler (or a friend's kid) for Christmas. No need to worry, though. I've got the ultimate gift list for the Southern Toddler. If you want your child to start living the Permanent Press LifestyleTM, then you need look no further. Here are three great Christmas gifts for your Southern Toddler.

(1) First, all children need to go places. They have work to do! There are  books to pull down from shelves and cabinets on the other side of the house to open. How is a busy toddler to get there? Look no further than the John Deere Foot to Floor Tractor.

Here's the best part. It's $28.99. In American money. I defy you to find a better deal on a sit-on-top kind of toy like this. This is easily one of the best Southern children's toys you can get value-wise. It works great inside or out.

(2) Moving along, after a long day of pedaling around, a young Southern toddler needs to kick back and blow off some steam. What better way than to go fishing, right? Every good angler knows that the first step in going fishing is that you have to have a good fishing vest.


Obviously, LL Bean rolls out a great fishing vest, but did you know that they make a small one for the little fisherman in your family? Boom. And it's only $39.50. This sucker has all sorts of pockets everywhere, so it's perfect for carrying around all the worms, frogs, and bugs that you find. You can just thank me now.

(3) If you're looking for something educational, that's sweet, but seriously, toddlers are getting their ABCs and 123s from their parents. You don't need to duplicate that. Every good duck hunter knows that identification of ducks is an important skill to have. Accordingly, you'll want to get your young toddler a plush wood duck from Orvis.
Apparently, the lawyers at Orvis say you shouldn't get this for a child under three, but look, y'all. Watch your children and make sure they don't pry the little eyes off and eat them. Got it? Good. Anyway, it will be a great starting point for identification of ducks. After a few years, you're good to go with the first shotgun. But that's a whole other blog post.
