April is National Kite Month, and after discovering the cool kites at Haptic Lab, kites are one of my *favorite* gifts this spring. We have A LOT of nieces and nephews who celebrate birthdays between January and April, and this is what they all have gotten from us this year!

I first spotted Haptic Lab's fantastic ship kite on A Cup of Jo, and it was a huge hit with my nephew who dressed up as Peter Pan last Halloween! Haptic Lab also has a line of classic kites that sport bright neon colors and fun patterns.

I also really love the variety and selection of kites on IntoTheWind.com, which has absolutely ANYTHING you might need for kite flying. They have everything from kites that kids can decorate to stunt kites to the colossal George Peters Sky Bird Kite, which is a stunning showstopper at 16-feet! Into The Wind even has kite lights for flying kites at night!

After the cancellation of Washington DC's Blossom Kite Festival this year and a winter that introduced us to the phrase 'polar vortex' (and to a severe case of cabin fever!), kites are a great gift this spring.
