I'm a reader. From the time I was small, I could always be found with a book in hand and I read the same books over and over again, until they literally were as fragile as antiques. So I bet you can guess what my favorite gift is - yup! BOOKS! But a great way to really capture a child's attention is to couple a book with a toy. And the folks at Lollipop Rascals are in on this secret. And to satisfy parents like me, they created Storybook Gift Sets, and let me tell you, they're worth a second look.
They really are the perfect gift. Carefully selected hardcover books are thoughtfully combined with at 
least one story-relevant toy, all packaged together for lovely presentation. We received the It's Me Gift Set which consists of the wonderful book (and CD) by Eric Drachman, a doll which transforms from a good witch to a bad witch, and a glittery tiara for my daughter to wear. While this book can certainly stand on its own (especially with such beautiful illustrations), the "reading buddy" or props just add a little more excitement to the story-telling process. And at $49.95, it's a no-brainer.
If that set doesn't do it for you, you'll find the Lollipop Rascal website simple to peruse. Divided by gender and product category, there's no 
confusion. They offer other high quality imagination-provoking toys like a Pirate Play Mat, Princess Magnetic Figures and dozens of great costumes for dress-up. I'm sure I spotted several other favorite brand toys over there. See something you like? Save 15% off your order using promo code "DG" at checkout.

I love the Animal Boogie Storybook Gift set. It's a great gift for all ages and both genders!
