Gift Guide: Babies & Toddlers

It’s that time again! Starting off this week’s Christmas gift guides with ideas for the littlest people in your life. While babies haven’t cottoned on to the idea of Santa or gifts just yet, friends and family still like to spoil them, and I always liked to buy my babies something special for their first Christmas. Here are a few ideas for everything from stocking fillers to keepsakes.

Pyjamas – I love these cute Christmas themed PJ’s – a perfect addition to your Christmas Eve Box. £5 from Nutmeg

Stacking Toys – Wooden stacking toys are always a good option for littlies, and they’re a toy that will grow with your child. I love Le Toy Van, not only are they beautiful to look at, but they are durable too.   £16.99 from Amazon

Personalised Book  – There’s nothing quite so magical as a bedtime story featuring your child. Based on the classic animated adventure by Raymond Briggs, this personalised ‘The Snowman’ book is the perfect personalised gift.
