Best Gifts

for Babies

Looking for the best gifts for babies? This holiday season I am working hard to be more mindful of what comes into our home–especially for our youngest.

I wanted to pull together a simple holiday gift guide that focused on more open ended toys that are suitable for a variety of ages, as well as promote more active play. Babies don’t need much, but here are a few items that are great for learning and development.

This set of muted colored stacking cups are a basic toy but an absolute must have. They help improve fine motor skills and organization.
