We’re kicking off our annual Christmas giveaway with a $150 gift certificate to either of our two stores — Pedal Cars and Retro Collectibles and A Rocking Horse To Love.

With a $150 gift certificate to use at either store, you can pick one or two fabulous gifts for the children or adults in your life.

You can even split the $150 gift certificate across the two stores and pick one gift from Pedal Cars and Retro Collectibles and another from A Rocking Horse To Love.

There’s an endless list of choices… but let me give you some ideas…

If you have a Baby or Toddler…

You may want to choose one of our popular toddler rockers. Here are a few of my personal favorites…

Butterfly Rocker Elephant Rocker

Or maybe your Baby or Toddler want to really get a move on with one of these Foot-to-Floor Ride on Toys.

Pink Scootster Speedster Firetruck

Since all those baby/toddler gifts ONLY cost between $79 and $89 and the prize gift certificate is for $150, you can keep shopping and choose another item…

If you have a 2 or 3 year old…

One of my top gift suggestions for a 2 or 3 year old is…

Strider Run BikeA Strider Run Bike is the perfect gift for a 2 or 3 year old. If you’ve never seen a Strider Run Bike or any other type of Balance Bike, you’ve got to watch Julia show you how they work.

A Balance bike or Running bike is a small bicycle without pedals that kids can ride before they are able to ride a traditional two-wheel pedal bike. Kids learn amazing balance and have so much fun!

Watch Julia when she was 3 years old show off her balance bike.

Since a Strider Run Bike is only $94.99, you can keep shopping…

If you have a 3 to 6 year old…

Don’t all little boys and girls love to play pretend store. I know my girls love it and I still remember playing store when I was a little girl.

You can encourage hours of creative play with a beautiful classic, wooden Market Stall.

Okay, yes the Market Stall does sneak a little over the $150 gift certificate price, but if you’re our winner and it would thrill your child on Christmas morning, we’ll give it to you!!!

If your little artist doesn’t yet have a Kids Art Easel, I recommend this Deluxe Wood Kids Art Easel. Julia has this exact one and loves it.

For a child of any age…

Inspiring Kids Costumes and Dress Up Gear are perfect for imaginative play all year round.

Fire Fighter Costumes Junior Physician Outfit

A Unique Gift for Your Husband or Dad

Men can be so hard to shop for! Well, don’t despair… we have some unique gift ideas that will surprise the man in your life.

One of my top suggestions is a Lighted Wall Clock. We have tons of designs so you can pick the perfect one.

Ferrari Lighted Wall Clock 1955 Chevy Wall Clock

Or perhaps put a retro record player or a Coke Classic Picnic Cooler under the tree.

Crosley CR711 AutoRama Picnic Cooler

For Your Sister or Your Mother…

What about a retro phone or a beautiful music box?

Between our two stores Pedal Cars and Retro Collectibles and A Rocking Horse To Love you’ll find there is something for everyone on your list!

But DON’T WAIT to see if you win… we always run out of stock on our most popular items long before Christmas. So use my suggestions as a gift guide and start shopping now. If YOU WIN, we’ll simply REFUND you $150.

  39. Oh my goodness this would be a great gift for my little girl!! We just recently moved back to my home state of OK, and had to leave most of our things in IN. She has begged for her new bike I had just bought before we moved, but being laid off put a pinch on what we could and could not afford to bring with us. With this I would buy her either a new one, or one of those awsome art sets a seen (she is so imaginative).

  455. This is a great website you have so much going on. I am a grandmother of 21 and great grand of 8. Starting over with a 5 year old granddaughter. She has 2 brothers 8 and 10years old. All are separated for the holidays as there has been many family issues thru the Social Services and I would love to give the children a few things for Christmas. Funding is very tight this season and to win a Holiday Giveaway would really be great, not to forget, your website helps me to catch up on todays raising of little ones. Been out of the game for over 40years. Not sure what linking to a post is.
