Holiday Gift for Kids
One of the things that I love about outerwear today is that it’s fun! I never liked wearing a toque or mittens very much when I was a child, but when the toque or mittens feature cute animals and kid-friendly colours, who could say no? Sozo Canada offers some of the most adorable animal-themed outerwear I have ever come across and there’s not a child in the world that wouldn’t be excited to put on this gear!
I received the Bull Dog Sherpa Hat and the Bull Dog Mittens in a size medium (7-14 years) to review. Zackary was so excited to see the cheerful puppy on the hat and was even more delighted when he noticed the matching ones on each of the gloves. He wore both items to school the very next day.
The Bull Dog Sherpa Hat was my favourite item and my son seemed to really enjoy it as well. At first it seemed a little small for his five-year-old head, but I think that was just because the pom-poms on the side looked like they should be down lower at first. It’s not exactly like the one pictured here; rather than a velcro chin strap there are two pom-poms hanging down on each side. They were actually a very clever way of keeping the toque over my son’s ears without it having to be tied under his chin like a baby’s hat. And I loved that the lined faux fur kept his head so warm!
He loved his gloves just as much and while I was a little worried about him going to school with gloves that weren’t waterproof, he didn’t seem to mind at all. He honestly prefers knitted mittens and the Sozo Canada Bull Dog gloves are nice and long so that his arms stay covered. The tight knit of the gloves keeps his fingers warm and best of all, he loves the gloves and is always excited to put them on! Once or twice he has had to wear another pair of gloves when his Sozo Canada gloves are wet and he just isn’t happy again until they’re back on his hands!

ARV: $25
As he got older, we added more elements to his bedtime routine and today he has a complete system that we follow every night. First he brushes his teeth with his baby brother. Then the two boys give Dad a “night-night nuggle.” They head upstairs with me and both pick out a bedtime book. I read them the books, turn off Zack’s light, blow him a kiss and leave the room with Benjamin.
Zackary really liked the pictures on the shell of the turtle, but when I turned the light on for him for the first time one night right before leaving the room, “like” turned to “love.” He adored having the gentle light in his room and he especially liked that the stars shone out of the turtle’s shell. Every night after that, he would request that I turn on a certain colour before I left the room. I was so happy with how much he enjoyed his new companion!
