Well, after a long hiatus, I'm back.
Let's start with this infographic on research studies and expert quote on toys. If you're a new parent, there are some very informative studies that you can see in here.
It should be a great guide for when buying presents for this Christmas.

Do you agree with any of these? I particularly like the ones on the possible impact of making toys only for girls by changing them to pink or by having the need to let them be about spa and make up and stuff.

Christmas Stocking Ideas For Kids
I can't believe it's going to be Christmas once again in just a few short months. My 5 year old can't stop asking me about it. "When is Christmas? How many days more are left?" "How many presents will Santa give me this year?
I have to say I can't help but get excited about it too. It's one of those holidays that even at my age I still look forward too. I'm not much of a party person, but Christmas is different. I make sure I plan everything. I think about a Christmas decoration theme months beforehand, I think about presents to give and make a list and I think of all the chocolate drinks and wine we'll be partaking on Christmas week.
Now that I have children and nieces and nephews, one of the things I also always plan in advance are stocking stuffers for kids. I like to find ones that are nice, useful and reasonably cheap. One of my earliest Christmas memories is opening these little presents and just being excited at how many presents I have. And I think in a way, as commercialized an idea it seems, the idea of having so many presents to open in a space of minutes is the whole essence of opening Christmas presents.
This is why I prefer to buy smaller cheap things for stocking stuffers. This isn't always as easy as it sounds because finding cheap presents that are also useful can be a big challenge. So months beforehand (or even right after Christmas!), I make a list of possible gift ideas for kids. I prefer them to be under $10. Here's one site I've found over 100 ideas of stocking stuffers for kids.

Pink Punk Pirate Toddler Costume
She's pink, she's punk and she's a pirate. That's exactly what the pink punk pirate toddler costume is.
The great thing about this costume is that it can fit even the really tiny ones in the household. A toddling toddler can easily fit into one of these pirate costumes. Your 2 year old will look good on this one. A small pirate trick or treating is just the cutest thing ever!
I like that this pink pirate costume comes with a sash and most importantly, the hat. The hat, I think is a very important accessory of a costume but many pirate costumes for sale do not include the hat. But this one does, so yay!

Girls Pink Pirate Outfit
Compared to the other girl pink pirate outfits I've featured on this site, this costume is pretty unique, don't you think? First of all, it comes with the black Bandana and how about the tutu style skirt huh?. This Tutu costume is a bit longer than some may want it, so you can easily cut it short if your child wants too. I personally prefer it this long. I love how simple and unique this pirate halloween costume for girls is. And have a look at the black corset with skulls? Just how amazing is that?
Girls Pink Pirate Sword
Many pink pirate costumes for girls I've talked about here are really cute but they're never quite right without the all important pirate accessories like a girls pink pirate sword, an eye patch or maybe even a bandana.
Now if your child is wearing a pink pirate dress, wouldn't it just be right for her to have a pink pirate sword as well? And just how adorable is that? I know quite a lot of little girls from my son's class and almost all of them love pink. So the idea of having a pink sword would be accepted with wide open arms. Make your child's halloween costume special with a costume color that she loves.

Elite Ladies Red Pirate Costume For Women
Here comes the vixen of the sea and she's a pirate too! This ship captain will be off duty on Halloween night and will be out to have fun and party the night away (well, no different from a pirate's life really!). This elite ladies red pirate costume for women is one of the best pirate costumes in terms of quality and design. What an elegant look this outfit is. Just take a look at the bolero and the corset. This two combination make it a pretty sexy and at the same time classy costume don't you think?

Pink Pirate Costume For Girls
Just imagine the combination of pirate and pink. It's not very traditional but it sure does work. And many children all over the world would rightly agree with me. This is why one of the most common outfits for kids in Halloween are pink pirate costume for girls. What is cuter and more daring than that?
These pirate costumes are really quite cute. There are many versions of them. Some designs are in the traditional pirate costume while there are also designs that look like a pirate princess, like one of the pirates in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, a drama queen child pirate and well, why not the popular Jake and the Neverland Girl Pirate, Izzy costume?

Girls Caribbean Pirate Costume
This is a unique pirate costume made of good quality polyester and cotton. As you can see it looks very similar to the Elizabeth Swann costume for girls that you can see in many halloween costume sites. This Caribbean pirate costume for kids however is made of better material and looks just as nice specially with the long jacket that comes with it. Yo ho ho mateys! It's going to be a piratey day indeed with this outfit. Many girls would just love to be wearing one of this when they go trick or treating and as they entertain people with their pirate talk.

Elizabeth Swann Pirate Costume For Girls
A kid who loves the Pirates in The Caribbean franchise is surely going to love to wear an Elizabeth Swann Pirate costume for girls. This strong girl character in the movie is something that I like and I'm sure one that many parents like too. Of course, many girls out there who love the movie would no doubt also want to pretend that they can be whatever they set their hearts to be. and that whatever circumstance they are in, whether they're the daughter of an upper class family or the head of the pirate king, they can be the strongest person that they are. She may have been a pirate, but she was a pirate with all the good intentions -- just the sort of pirate we love, right?

Elizabeth Swann Pirate Costume
Elizabeth Swann is one of the most memorable characters in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Why not dress up as the beautiful governor's daughter this year for Halloween? At this time, it's not often that easy to find a costume exactly like the one Keira Knightly wore, but it is still possible to find one that resembles more of her "boyish" looking costume like the one she wore in the Dead Man's Chest. This Elizabeth Swann costume is great for a cold night when you want to be covered up and of course when you want to look light the hardy woman pirate that you are who can obviously fight the evils of this world.
