gift guide #1: little girl & little boy

christmas is a magical time for all, but for none more so than children. I remember one christmas eve – I was probably 6 or 7 – I stayed up late to watch christmas-themed movies on TV with my mom. we cuddled up on the sofa and I gazed at our tree, alit with colored lights and dozens of handmade ornaments. it all seemed so transformative, beautiful and removed from any other time of the year.

which is why hip hip shoe-ray's 2010 gift guide kicks off with shoes for the little ones!

every little girl needs shoes that are...

sparkly. $50.




patent leather mary janes (with bows!). $49.



good for running around (and not a trace of pink). $25.



totally out there (they even light up on the toes!). $40.



and every little boy needs shoes that are...

retro. $45.



dressy but comfy. $40.




classic (with some flair, of course). $20.



totally out there (can you imagine putting those on in the rain?!). $25.



stay tuned: run, skip, walk and jog your way to hip hip shoe-ray for tomorrow's installment of the 2010 official holiday gift guide.
