I certainly don't mind the "big box" stores or that really big toy store with the giraffe, but it's so much more fun to pick out unique gifts for the special kids in your life.

I can clearly remember having to shush my son as he started to say (very loudly) "I already have this," while opening one of his birthday party gifts several years ago.

When you choose a one-of-a-kind or personalized gift, those are the ones kids tend to hold on to over the years. I'd rather buy something with a little more meaning, instead of the latest plastic or electronic toy that will be forgotten or broken about in a few months.

I've been browsing Gift of Happiness and finding some great ideas for kids' gifts in all price ranges. Check out some of my favorites below.

And, when you make a purchase at Gift of Happiness, 5-15% of the price is donated to charity! Check out the growing list of charities you can choose from on the Gift of Happiness website. That's right, you can decide where the money goes!

And, as an added bonus, all of my readers get an exclusive 10% discount on all purchases through September 1st. Just use code MOMSWHOSAVE at checkout. You'll also get another $5 toward your purchase or toward your charity if you're new to the Gift of Happiness site and sign up for their newsletter! This is definitely the time to think about any birthdays or kids' gifts you'll need for the holidays.

When you're finished checking out all the cool kids' stuff, make sure to check out the home department, women's jewelry, and the rest of the site too. I'm seeing some women's jewelry I like!

I was recently given the chance to review the website CafePress by ordering a couple of items. I chose some things for my son's birthday--a t-shirt and a mug. It wasn't an easy choice though. I was familiar with CafePress, and I'm sure most people think mainly of t-shirts when they think of the site, but it has so much more!

You could spend a lot of time looking at everything CafePress has to offer. There are shirts, but there are also phone cases, greeting cards, posters, jewelry, water bottles, hoodies, mugs, custom stationery, calendars, and LOTS more.

You can design your own items on the site using your own photos or business logos too.

Since CafePress has so much to offer, the easiest way to navigate the site might be to search by a theme like "autism" if you're looking for autism awareness items or the name of your favorite team if you're looking for sports-themed items.

By the way, I found the shipping to be fast, and the items I ordered were good quality. The t-shirt size was just what I expected--it didn't run too big or too small.

There are often coupon codes and deals listed right on the site, and on my homepage deals search you can always look for CafePress coupons and deals too.

You can also win a $20 gift code to spend at CafePress when you enter using the easy Rafflecopter form below. Good luck!
