Baby & Toddler Gift Ideas

With Thanksgiving here, the holiday pressure is creeping up on us. Gift giving can be tough, especially when buying for all the little ones! I have rounded up our favorite items we have used for our child (who is now just over 2 1/2 years), some that we he has been loving on and others we are purchasing for him this Christmas. I have always loved recommendations from moms that have "tested" toys. As I know each child is different, I love to provide a variety of different ways to stimulate our active boy. I have divided each gift guide for age appropriateness. I am always on the hunt for toys that will allow him to play open ended, a variety of sensory experiences, or physical activity opportunities. I hope this helps guide you as you purchase items for your little loved ones. I've linked each of the items below the photo collages. Happy shopping!
