Holidays often mean gift-giving. Although it might not be the first thing that comes to mind, you want to make sure toys don’t pose a danger to the eyes. According to Stanford Children’s Health, over 11,000 children are injured each year from toys and playground equipment.

The winter may mean enjoying snowing days, winter sports, and warming up by the fire, but unfortunately, winter can also mean the start of the cold and flu season.
