Holiday Gift Guide 2009! Part I

For Newborns and Toddlers~

* Beibi or WeeSqueak shoes! I just love, love, love these baby shoes! The WeeSqueaks squeak, so you know your bunchkin is close to you, and the shoes are high quality, great to give as gifts. Beibi baby shoes are great for 0-24 months, and WeeSqueaks are great for older tots.



* Homestead diaper care kit- all natural, made in the USA, and everything in it is great. Newborns deserve the purest, healthiest we can offer. This is a great starter kit for any new parent.

* Lovely Baby Music- stimulate your child's mind while helping to develop a love of music. This company offers Christmas music, classical music, sleep-inducing music, and more, redone in a delicate, tinkling style that appeals to little babies.

* For any baby showers you are going to this month, I feel the best gift is a diaper cake...I just love these! Practical, decorative, and unique, these are great any time of the year.



For Children Ages 0-5

* Usborne Touch and Feel books are great for younger children who are learning to enjoy textures and new experiences, and a great way to bond with your child...read together, touch fuzzy and bumpy pictures, have fun!

* Loukoumi is a series of books that promotes values, and the little lamb is just plain cute. These are great as children get older and understand more.
