I promised you The Bambino… and I delivered (no pun intended ;))!
This gift guide is skewed towards the older crowd (Toddlers you know… they’re so advanced)… kinda because it’s where my head is at (my little man turns two in a week).
I also kept it mostly gender neutral… I think it’s more interesting that way.
So if you love a kid, have a kid, know a kid… grab a gift below and prepare for screams and shouts and hugs and kisses… OR nary a glance before they’re on to the next best thing.
1. Little Nutty Helmet: I Love Mom Tattoo – Before your toddler jumps on that new scooter, tricycle, balance bike, etc., make sure their noggin is nestled safely in a cool, comfy helmet. This “I Love Mom” version would be sweet on a boy or a girl.
2. Chalkboard Laptop – I saw these a few years back and am happy they are still around. My little one would love to get his mitts on a “mommy” computer :).
3. Organic Cotton Ear Hat – I threw one gift in for the newborn, because I’m a sucker for adorable knit hats on babies.
4. Velvet Band Jacket – My gift for the girl… a velvet military inspired jacket because they NEVER, EVER go out of style!
5. Rifle Paper Company Custom Portrait Stationery – This one’s more for the whole fam. How fun to have stationery that documents your growing brood? I LOVE!
6. Appaman Toddler’s Suit – This one’s obviously for the little stud muffin. Amazing tailoring and style packaged in a tiny little suit.
7. Eric Carle’s Very Little Library – Beautiful illustrations and classic stories that should be a part of every child’s library.
8. Remo Kid’s Konga – In every music class, every kid loves to Konga. Get some drumsticks and let them have at it!
9. Authentic Original Patent Sperry Top-sider – Now call me crazy… but I like these shoes for both toddler girls AND boys. Color has no boundaries!
10. Putumayo Kids Presents Animal Playground – Once you’ve passed the “Rockabye Baby” stage… jump into the Putumayo Kids CD’s and you’ll have a ton of fun with your little one. The songs are super cute and won’t drive you crazy after 2 to 3 rounds… I promise :).
11. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Gutter Bowling Set – Who doesn’t love to bowl? Nuff said.
12. The Land Of Nod Blue Stripe Play Canopy – I’m a sucker for a tent… and so is any kiddo. I like that this version hangs from the ceiling and is a bit more space saving than some of the other versions I’ve seen. I’d throw my son’s bean bag in and call it a day… for me that is.
