Confession time: when you were a kid, were you ever caught carefully peeling the tape off of your beautifully wrapped presents? Did your parents have to hide all the presents in the basement until Christmas morning because you just couldn't stop yourself from tearing into them? (Can you tell we're speaking from experience here?) Well, with these adorable Peek Buster gift bags from Hallmark, you can break the cycle of ruined surprises. Just place the present inside, turn the motion sensor on, and if your little snooper comes near the bag, Santa himself asks, "Did Santa catch you peeking?" Brilliant.
Price: $6.99
Manufacturer: Hallmark
Available at: Hallmark.com or a Hallmark store near you.

Maybe it's just us, but we think it's totally cute to see twins (or even triplets) dressed alike. Plus, coordinated outfits make life a lot easier when you're trying to get the family dressed and out the door. Jodi Firestone and Karen Denker -- both moms of twins -- started TrendyTwinShop.com to make shopping for multiples easy. Their beautifully designed sets for preemies, babies, toddlers, triplets, and siblings are similar but not identical -- a great way to show off your unique family!
