15 Gifts for Kids from PVD Shops
Holiday shopping for the little ones can be so much fun. The games, new and old! The sweetest books for bedtime! The soft plushies (including some very cute plush food items that we may want for ourselves)! We are very lucky to have small businesses located in downtown Providence, RI that have vibrant children’s gifts sections. If you’re not sure where to start with the gifts for kids this holiday season, not to worry: we have a few ideas to get you started.
