With the holidays<\/strong> fast approaching it’s time to start thinking about gifts<\/strong> for those on your list. Today we’re sharing 10 fabulous gifts<\/strong>, some for baby<\/strong> and some for a new mama<\/strong> or mama-to-be<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>1. sophie giraffe<\/strong> – Born in France in 1961, Sophie has a long history of helping teething babies. Derived from natural rubber and food paint, she is safe to chew with and easy shape for babies to grasp. Find it here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. burt’s bees<\/strong> – Although there are a lot of fabulous baby \"\"<\/a>bath products on the market right now, Burt’s Bees is a hands-down favorite in my book! This ‘starter kit’ is a great way for mom & dad to test out smaller sizes of the products and decide which ones they love. Includes: Nourishing Lotion, Shampoo & Wash, Nourishing Oil, Diaper Ointment & Buttermilk soap. Find it here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>3. goodnight moon<\/strong> – every shower I attend I try to include at least one of my favorite children’s books and Goodnight Moon is always a crowd pleaser! Pick out some of your favorites to help get baby’s library started early. Find it here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. aden + anais swaddling blankets<\/strong> – any new mama will tell\"\"<\/a> you that swaddling blankets are an absolutle must-have. These bamboo blankets from aden + anais not only fit the bill as far as function is concerned (large for easy wrapping, breathable, multi-purpose) but they are just so darn cute too! Available in many patterns\/colors. Find it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

5. cute burp cloths<\/strong> – while it’s true you need a stockpile of simply functional burp cloths, it’s really nice to have a few that are extra cute, especially when you are out and about. Swaddle Designs<\/a> makes some of my favorites but you can also find lots of sweet handmade options on etsy<\/a>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6. layette basics – let’s face it, you’ll find it necessary\"\"<\/a> for baby to have multiple costume changes each day so it is important to have a nice stockpile of basic layette pieces to cover your bases. One of my new favs are Giggle’s ‘Layette Better Basics’<\/a>, all made from organic & fair trade egyptian cotton. Available in ivory, pink, or blue. Also be sure to check out the Little Peanut collection from Peek<\/a>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

7. family heirlooms<\/strong> – Not only do they hold some sentimental value, but using family heirlooms (if you like them of course) is a great way to save a little money in your nursery budget. Plus – the pieces mean more when you have a story about them to share! Like the crib but don’t have one in your family? Get the look new here<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

8. stock the kitchen<\/strong> – any family with a brand new \"\"<\/a>little one will tell you that things like cooking and shopping tend to take a bit of a backseat, especially in the first few weeks home. With that in mind, a fabulous gift is to stock the fridge\/kitchen for the family of a newborn. Focus on grab & go or easily prepared items to make it all the more convenient!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>9. grown up gifts<\/strong> – The other day I was reading through a list of favorite baby gifts shared by new moms and one that stood out was “a bottle of wine & an energy drink”. Humerous, yes but also a nice little indulgence for mama! Add a few gourmet cheeses, meats, & crackers and it can also serve as a sweet little stay-at-home date for the new parents.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

10. spa or salon treatments<\/strong> – Every girl needs to be \"\"<\/a>pampered, especially when she’s a new mama. Help her relax with a massage & nail treatment. Help her feel like her usual beautiful self with a cut & color!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hope you enjoyed our list of fabulous gift ideas! Have a few of your own to share? We’d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n
