Hi S.! That is tough when kids have everything to find something they will truly like and not just throw in the closet! lol
I run a traveling party business website is www.myhuggableparty.com so here is an idea for you. You say your girls like crafts. What I do is go to people's homes or daycares or weddings or corporate picnics, anywhere and I help kids hand stuff an animal or purse of their choice. So, since your girls are crafty they might like this. You can check out my website at www.myhuggableparty.com and you can see that I have TONS of animals and purses to choose from.
If you are in my area I will come to you and we can either have a small party for your kids and play Christmas music, have gingerbread cookies, sip on hot chocolate and stuff a moose or polar bear (or any animal you want) and dress them in winter clothes. Or you can choose the animals you want and order them online and have them shipped directly to you OR you can order the animals from me and MOJO Mascot can deliver them to your children!!
Your son might be too little to really get into this but you can choose an animal for him as well and you or Daddy can help him stuff it. This makes for a great family activity. If you choose to order the animals for Christmas then you can do this activity as a family Christmas morning!!
I also do princess parties so I have lots of affordable dress up items you can choose from for the girls...
If you want to talk about any of this or order online email me at ____@____.com and I will give you a code so that you will receive $5 off of each regular priced cuddly collectible on my website!! Which will basically take care of your shipping cost.
You can see my business listing and a review from a Mamasource mom under Local Business Reviews, the name of my business is My Little Bug Parties *AND* Noah's Ark Animal Workshop. I also have a coupon listed under the NEW Member Perks section so check that out too!!
I hope you find what you are looking for. Good luck and have fun!!
