What 5-year-old Eric Wants for Christmas
This is not a sponsored gift guide, these are actually the things that Eric has requested for Christmas. They don’t usually ask for much, and are COMPLETELY smitten with a $5 stuffed animal. Attention aunts & uncles: Eric is totally smitten with $5 stuffed animals!
However, he has been asking for this game for months. We barely even play with our Xbox, so it kind of surprised me that both kids asked for games for it. Maybe we don’t play it because they’re just not into the games we have!
Lately, he’s been mentioning this Big Boots Fire Truck thing. We need another truck around the house like I need a hole in my head, but whatever. Brian fortunately found one on the town, but we could have ordered it off Amazon and had it in time.

The boy is crazy for Hotwheels, and whenever he sees anything Angry Birds, he thinks he needs it. I found this Angry Birds Hot Wheels on Amazon, I didn’t get it for him but I know he love it (or any Hotwheels!).
If anyone is ever at a loss as to what to get for Eric, you can’t go wrong with Hotwheels or stuffed animals. Especially puppies.
From Santa: the Stompeez slippers. Eric wants the puppy (of course!). Funny thing is, I think this is supposed to be a bunny, but he thinks it’s a puppy so we’re going with it.
So that’s it! Our un-sponsored, totally authentic gift guide for the 5-year-old boy!
