It’s that time of year…again! And I love it! I haven’t done a gift guide in a while but the holidays make me so excited to shop, give, and get in the spirt. This December I’ll be giving back a portion of what you shop here to Miracle Babies, a non profit that supports families with babies in the NICU and is very dear to my heart. So if you’re looking for ideas, this is the spot! You’ll find a good mix of items I love plus things you all sent in as ideas (thank you for those by the way)!
The Gift of Sleep
First things first, it goes without saying that giving the gift of sleep is a great idea. If you have a friend or relative who is a new parent or is just really needing some rest while they navigate early stages with a little one, you can’t go wrong with a sleep consult! Lets be honest, you could give this gift to mama or baby…or make it a mama & baby combo gift :) :) You can book a 30 minute consult for them, or a bigger package, so click here, or email me carlykenihan@sleepshopconsulting.com and I will give you a free 15 min consult too. I will donate a portion of any of these sales to Miracle Babies this month.
For baby, it can be so hard to figure out what to get your little who will likely out grow clothing, toys and so on. Plus what do you give a babe who doesn’t even know what’s going on? I always got my littles boxes of diapers, and things that made their life more comforting and my life easier! The slumberpod is wonderful and sells out fast. It’s great for traveling as it blacks out the baby’s space. I also love gifting new swaddles or sleepsacks! The woolino is pricey but lasts forever (up to 2 years!) so it makes a great holiday present. Lovevery products are another idea. The educational toys grow with your baby, and you can also sign up for a subscription. If you’re in need of a fresh diaper bag – gift one to your babe with lots of diapers, pacis, teethers, etc inside. They’ll have so much fun taking everything out and it’s a win win for both of you :) I also really love the gathre mats – great for picnics out, play dates, or underneath the highchair for easy clean up. Which brings me to… high chairs! We gave all our kids high chairs for Christmas – and stokke has been my favorite. If you’re looking for something smaller, Gratitude the Great is a sweet book, written by a mama friend! My kids are all about it, and has a super cute storyline too :) Snack cups make great small gifts as well and including more below.
Gifts for Baby
and for mama? Here are some things that you all told me you love (thank you for sending them in by the way)! Everything from athleisure to home, beauty to fashion, and simple to fancy (but timeless). I chose my faves of your faves so whether you’re shopping for your mom, sister, friend, wife, or even yourself (no judgment …ever), have fun! :)
