Fall is in the air, and you know what that means… time for cozy sweaters, crisp apples, pumpkin patches, and if you’re anything like me, a whole new excuse to spoil those grandbabies rotten. I’m talking about Jack, of course, my favorite little sidekick, style muse, and chief toy tester. As soon as the leaves start to change and the temperature dips below “Florida swelter,” I go full grandma mode, scouting out all the adorable, practical, and just plain fun things kids need (or let’s be honest, want) for the season.
This guide is for all the grandmothers, parents, aunts, uncles, fairy godmothers, and anyone else who believes childhood should be magical, messy, and filled with memory-making moments. Whether your little one is starting preschool, heading to grandma’s for a leaf-pile-jumping weekend, or simply needs a wardrobe refresh with some “aww”-inducing outfits, we’ve got you covered.
From pint-sized outerwear with their favorite TV show to toys that will actually hold their attention longer than five minutes, and gear that keeps up with their ever-growing independence, these are the children’s items we’re absolutely obsessed with this fall.
So grab your cider (or your Champagne—no judgment here), curl up in your coziest throw, and get ready to meet the things I’m buying for Jack and pretending I didn’t… because “Oh this? It was on sale!” still works, no matter how old we are.
Let the spoiling begin.
