B-Inspired Mama’s 2013 Gift Guide Week

DRUMROLL PLEASE!  It’s my favorite time of year.  The time of year where I have every excuse to shop for awesome kids’ toys, clothes, and handmade goodness!  Today starts the beginning of B-Inspired Mama’s 2013 Gift Guide Week.  Each day I’ll be sharing a different gift guide of a unique theme.  And today, we start with the “littles.”  I’ve tracked down all of the best gifts to give that special baby or toddler.  So let’s get on with this show…

Top 10 Gifts for Baby & Toddler

Waldorf Rainbow Stacking Puzzle – Apple n Amos, $50.00

• Why I Love It:  An heirloom wooden toy that will be used for imaginative play for years.  Non toxic soy paint and natural beeswax polish to keep the colors bright and vibrant.  Once again, supports handmade and small business.

Personalized Baby Spoon Set – KaSHIKeee, $30.00

• Why I Love It:  Super unique and creative.  Fun for babies beginning solids and toddlers learning to use utensils.  And it’s handmade, and (once again) I love supporting working artisans and small business.

Jungle Pals Stacking Puzzles – Parents at Manhatton Toy, $15.00 each

• Why I Love It:  Comes in a fun zebra, giraffe, elephant, and lion.  The puzzle aspect encourages critical thinking and fine motor skill development.  Animal characters encourage imaginative play.  And doubles as stylish nursery decor, too!

Cloth Alphabet Book – Sandpit Kids, $15.00

• Why I Love It:  It’s bright, colorful, and educational!  It’s soft, which means it can be squished and explored by little hands and mouths.  Doesn’t take much room in a diaper bag.  And it can be thrown in the wash, too.  Plus it’s handmade, and I love supporting working artists and crafters.

Strawberry Lacing Toy – Tinocchio, $15.00
