Holiday Gift Guide For Babies

I wanted to share some gift ideas for the cute baby and toddler on your Christmas list this year. What gifts do you plan on buying this year?

Playskool has the cutest baby toys and we have bought many through the years. One reason is they are well made, so they will last through all of your children. I was happy to find out about a couple of their latest baby toys that I thought you might like for the cute baby or toddler on your Christmas list this year. Playskool prices are very reasonable and you can find their toys at these stores or online at www.hasbro.com. The Playskool website has fabulous deals of the day every day through Christmas and make sure to sign up for their newsletter to find out what they are.

Playskool Explore N Grow Activity Ball

The Activity Ball’s cute face and bright colors attracted our baby and when he is older he can play with the spinners and two balls that are inside. I like the fact he will enjoy playing with it as he gets older and finds out about the fun stuff inside. I think this is a nice toy to help children work on their fine motor skills. The price is around $16.99 and is for ages 6 months and up. Playskool usually has great coupon deals online so make sure and search Google before you shop.

TUMBLE ‘N TWIRL TOP

Twirl toys have been popular for years and children love them. I still remember my twirl toy. Our baby was fascinated for quite a while when we twirled the Tumble and Twirl Top for him. I think older babies and toddlers will have fun with this cute toy. Our five year old even had fun twirling it for the baby. The features are colorful and bright and it has a side door for them to find to release the balls. It comes with four balls. Another good toy for fine motor and gross motor skills. The price is around $19.99 and is for ages 6 months and up.

One of my favorite places for baby stuff is Kushies. I absolutely adore their toys and other products. They are not only durable but so colorful and cute. I was thrilled to receive their Zolo Crib Carousel Mobile for review for our new son. The mobile comes with five plush animals in bright patterns and colors. It also has a mirror on the bottom for the baby to look at himself.  Noah loves to look at it!  I hate to put things together and usually leave it to my husband, but when I tried, it was easy as pie. I explain that on the vlog below, just take a peek to see the cute mobile and the even cuter baby in the video below. Kushies has a great selection of toys for the holidays and other great gift ideas for baby and toddler as well. You can purchase the mobile on their website www.kushiesonline.com. They have some cute items on clearance as low as $1.99 right now!

It’s never to early to learn.  Numerous studies confirm that reading to infants not only boosts speech and language development, but overall intelligence as well. When you read to your baby, you set the stage for a lifetime of literacy. Brainy Baby offers many terrific products to parents that reflect the importance of that research.

This holiday season, Brainy Baby is making it easy and affordable to give the gift of learning to all of the important children in one’s life.  For a limited time only, Brainy Baby is offering three different holiday gift boxes at a specially discounted price that are sure to please inquisitive toddlers and young kids on anyone’s list.  The Happy Holidays Gift Box, Seasons Greetings Gift Box and Deluxe Seasons Greetings Gift Box all include a variety of Brainy Baby’s award-winning DVD’s, CD’s, books and flashcards.  If that’s not enough, each set is priced significantly below its retail value, saving shoppers a ton of holiday cash.

If you are looking for practical baby gifts, I am in love with this company. They have developed some unique products for baby to make life easier for mom and dad. I tested out the BabbaBurpie and was truly impressed. Not only are they attractive, they are durable and practical. The material is made of thick French terry cloth that soaks in all the milk easily. It is machine washable, and came out of the dryer looking just as new. When the burp cloth is soaked, I just turn it inside out and can keep using it. This is especially helpful for when we are out. Noah is a messy eater and the BabbaBurpie was a lifesaver on our long car trip over Thanksgiving. They come in a two pack in several designs. You can purchase them on their website www.babbaco.com or the stores listed here. You can read more about the mom owned company below.

BabbaCo is an innovative baby products company that makes ‘simple. functional. super cute’ solutions for everyday parenting.  All of our products are high in functionality and style.  Our first product is the BabbaCover, an infant car seat cover that protects from cold weather, noise, and creates a great nap-time environment while on-the-go.  In just a year, we have won the iParenting Media Award and the PTPA (Parent Tested Parent Approved) Awards showing the “approval” from experts and real parents across the country.  I guarantee you haven’t seen anything quite like this!
