It's DAY THREE of my Holiday Shopping Week!
Today is all about the babies, those chubby cheeked bundles of joy.

My kids are now 9, 7 and 4, so technically yes I am offically out of the baby and toddler stage...but don't you think that I haven't forgotten it!
Sleepless nights {heck, sometimes that still happens}, tantrums {again, sometimes still happens} and making sure they say please, thank you while keeping foreign items out of their ears and nose...it's hard to forget these stages. It's also a stage of life where everywhere you step you're often stepping on a toy.
During the holidays I always try to give relatives ideas for my kid's gifts - ones that don't get stuck underfoot, are often educational and many times can fold up and be put away. Junk toys aren't fun!
Here are my Top 10 hand-picked holiday gifts for babies and toddlers. I hope you can find a few for your kids, your nieces and nephews or even your grandkids!
My 4 year old has this wipe clean activity book and lately grabs it wherever she goes. Great for a preschooler just learning their numbers and letters. Since you can wipe and erase over and over, it's great for practicing their school work.
This Wipe Clean: Early Learning Activity Book can tag along with you in the car or be given during quiet time. The thick board pages are easy for little hands to handle and comes with a special pen just for them!
Purchase yours HERE for $8.05.
There comes a time when the pack-n-play you drag around when traveling becomes a bit too small and your toddler needs something that resembles more of a bed. When bunking up at Grandma's or staying in a hotel sometimes it's nice to have a bed for those growing kiddos.
This Regalo My Cot Toddler Bed comes with a fitted sheet and travel case and comes in black, pink or blue. No set up required, this simple fold and go system is quick and easy to use!
Purchase yours HERE for $23.99.
My kids received this play nativity set years ago and played with it for YEARS. Not just around Christmas either! Let your kids learn about the Christmas story in a fun way.
This Fisher-Price Little People Nativity Set comes with the full cast of characters, is very durable and is not one of those nativity sets that cannot be touched. Great for kids!
Purchase yours HERE for $69.99.
White noise is a MUST when you have a baby. Heck, we still have a box fan in our hallway between all the bedrooms just to make sure all little noises {doors shutting, loud footsteps, etc.} are muffled. Babies can sleep through quite a bit, but having some extra noise options to help soothe your baby to sleep is always a good idea.
This SoundBub, White Noise Machine and Bluetooth Speaker is portable and rechargeable with 12 different white noise sounds.
Purchase yours HERE for $24.99.
Buy this set for your child and resist not playing for youself. I'm serious. Geared towards ages 3 and up but honestly once you play around with these magnetic blocks you'll be entertained yourself!
This Magnetic Blocks Building Set for Kids is great for boys and girls. The pieces can be patterned into many different patterns such as dogs, planes and more, plus kids will learn their colors and shapes while playing. Plus comes with a handy bag to keep them in!

One of my favorite baby stages is around 3-5 months when they are content to lay around and play and have not yet mastered crawling. I always just laid a blanket down with a few toys, but I love the idea of this playmat!
This Disney/Pixar Jack Book Playmat is a soft book when folded up and a great playmat when unfolded. A mix of fun colors and patterns, plus tabs and tags for your baby to interact with - plus it's cute!
Purchase yours HERE for $8.13.
Keeping babies and toddlers warm in the winter is always a challenge. Sometimes it's a fight to keep things on, but his hat and scarf combination seems to do the trick!
This Baby Girls and Boys Winter Hat Scarf with Ear Flaps is adorable and comes in nine different colors and shapes. It's loose and doesn't seem to bother the little kiddos as much - yet still keeps them cozy warm.
Purchase yours HERE for $10.99.
All we ever bought our kids were regular bikes, but now you see these balance bikes advertised everywhere. It's a stable three wheel bike that children can walk with easy and help develop their coordination. They'll be gliding all over the place
This XJD Mini Trike Balance Bike is a fun indoor and outdoor present for toddlers who are BUSY and need that energy outlet!

I swaddled all my babies for MONTHS after they were born. It helped them sleep better {at least it did for mine} and personally I just liked seeing them wrapped up like a cocoon.
