A drawing of a typewriter with the paper saying, "A few of my Favorite Things...". Below the typewriter is a light grey band of color on the bottom of the graphic. Within the grey band is The Chaos Manager's logo (a light blue square with a black and white photo of three pair of children's feet).

This is my go-to sweatshirt for a cozy day. It is so soft, comes in 18 different colors and….IT HAS POCKETS!!!! It is the absolute perfect shirt for a pair of soft leggings, a cup of tea and a great book.

A SINGLE PLAYER game your teenager can play by themselves!! Box One by THE Neil Patrick Harris is a super engaging escape room type game for ages 14+. My oldest is in LOVE with this game! (Internet access required).

Favorite Mittens for Young Kids

These are the easiest mittens for young kids to get on by themselves. The side zippers make it so small hands can get in and out of the mittens with minimal help. They are waterproof and have lasted an entire season already at my house! Plus they come in different sizes.

A new puzzle/fidget toy for older kids. This is a gift that was immediately played with after being opened and hasn’t really been put away since! Only about six inches big, this is a great travel toy. It will fit in a purse or coat pocket easily and is quiet!!

Is your little artist looking for new tools? These oil pastels are as close to mess-free as possible. Each one is wrapped like a crayon to keep hands clean while drawing. Obviously you’ll still get messy if you use your fingers to blend, but they don’t smear all over the place like other oil pastels I’ve seen!
