Funky Junque
OMG! You have got to snag a Mommy and Me set of beanies from Funky Junque this holiday season! This fun parent, child, and toddler matching beanie set is the perfect matching trio to have this winter season. They look super adorable on boys or girls while keeping you warm and trendy in the cold winter weather. These hats are extra sweet with their pompom style, and are perfect for photo ops too. I also love the variety of color and style options their hats come including: single hats, sets of two, sets of three, and even sets of four!
Muslin swaddle blankets are a favorite for many because they’re super soft and breathable making them ideal for use year-round. LouLou Lollipop offers muslin swaddle blankets in a wide variety of prints and so many of them are unique and adorable! The hedgehog print shown above caught my eye as a former hedgehog owner, but they also have gummy bears, tacos, dinos, seashells, whales and SO many others. You’ll be able to find the perfect print for the little now in your life.
This toddler learning toy helps children learn about touch and manual skill while developing their bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. Kids must sort each of the 20 picture cards into one of four texture categories: soft, smooth, prickly, and rough. Some items will be familiar to them, while others may not be. During play, encourage your children to feel the different texture cards and use that touch sensation to evaluate what they see on the picture. You can also work on colors, language, names, and more. There is so much playability and educational value in this affordable gift!
For a gift set that is sure to be cherished, you can’t beat Baby’s Christmas Box from My Little Love Heart!

The set includes: Baby Bib, Bunny Teether, Koala Rattle/Bath Toy, Gift Wapping, Card, and Message. Not only is this a stylish and practical unisex gift, it’s extra unique because it comes from Australia! I just can’t get over how absolutely adorable each piece is. This is one gift that will definitely be a keepsake forever once baby outgrows.
Bath time has never been more fun! Whether your little one enjoys splashing in the tub or could use a little encouragement, this Pooh and Piglet play set will be a great addition to bath time.

Little ones LOVE to drink from straws and these fun Zoonicorn Cups are a great option to entice learning this skill. With its fun and functional design, this cup will make drinking a playful experience that kids will love. The patented design features a miniature Zoonicorn perched on top of the lid with the straw going through his mouth, allowing your child to sip right alongside him. Fun colorful designs adorn the outside of the cup, adding an extra element of cuteness to this already adorable cup. This 12oz cup is perfect for on-the-go use and will keep your child’s drink fresh and secure thanks to its leak-proof lid.

How funny and adorable are these food-themed silicone teethers from LouLou Lollipop? It would be so funny to see a baby teething on a fake taco!

These come with a pacifier/teether holder that can be used to hold their teether onto their outfit or to clip it to the fabric of their stroller or carseat to keep it from hitting the ground.

Another great Gladly Family option once your babe is this 2-pack long sleeve baby loungewear pajamas. These pajamas are made with the same great, ultra soft material as the 4-piece set above. Plus, I love how these sweet patterns were designed in house by the Gladly Family Creative Team! So unique and fun. Our sweet foster baby is 6 weeks old now and finally outgrowing the newborn size. So I snagged her a set of these one-pieces in 0-3 months and I LOVE how the cuffs are on the end of the sleeve so I can still protect her from self-scratching. The best part about this duo is how they are affordably priced as well! Currently, they are $24.99 for the SET of TWO! The size run on these is from 0-3 months through 9-12 months.
