This bright pink car is Tanner’s pick for his little girl. “This is my pick for my daughter Emmy, she’s two-years-old now, but to be honest I’m dreading the day she turns 16, so I got her the Barbie Glam Convertible so she can learn how to drive now.” The well-priced toy car screams retro chic, and seats two dolls – or Barbie and her luggage – a gal needs her getaway gear! And, notes Tanner, “She’ll love it, it will keep her busy for hours, which in turn is a great gift for dad too.

Disney Frozen 2 Arendelle Castle Playset
With Frozen 2 newly in theaters for the holidays, parents can’t go wrong with anything related to the film. “If your household is like mine, you’ve seen Frozen a thousand times,” laughs Tanner. He’s certain she’ll love this super detailed play castle that lights up and has a moving balcony. And it’s huge! “When I call this thing a castle I’m not kidding, it’s probably bigger than she is. She could live in it and be the princess herself!” How fun is that?

Loved by everyone from Queen Elizabeth to Hillary Duff, these are a perennial favorite she’s sure to enjoy.
