It’s holiday gift season and if you’re like me, it can be hard to think of creative gift ideas for a new mom, baby or toddler. The parents may not want to ask for things that they actually need for the baby and the baby may not need too much right now. The first few years of gift giving may seem impossible, but they are actually quite easy since the baby (or toddler) hasn’t started asking for things yet.

- Diapers – Diapers are one of the biggest expenses that parents face with their babies, plus cloth diapers are absolutely adorable and make good gifts.
- Clothing – Babies grow fast and Project Pomona has a solution for you, Grow With Me Jeans! These little jeans are made to fit for 6-9 months at a time with their unique grow-with-me cuff and adjustable waist snaps. Not only are they functional, they are adorable with their patterned cuffs.
- Baby carrier – A good soft structured baby carrier or wrap can be an investment that some new families just can’t make. They are a necessity, but can make life with a growing baby so much easier and allows you to carry your baby while you multitask. A carrier allows families to leave the bulky stroller at home and shop while their baby sleeps or looks out at the world around them.
- Timi & Leslie Diaper Bag – Spoil the new mom with a fashionable diaper bag, that is so pretty no one will know there are diapers and baby essentials inside. Mom will want to continue to carry this bag for years to come.
We all know that no matter what we get the baby or toddler, all they really want to do is play with the box! Be sure you get a nice sturdy box with lots of colorful wrapping paper and ribbons. Fill the box with lots of tissue paper too, they will love to pull it out and toss it around the room.
What are some of your favorite new mom, baby or toddler gift ideas for the holiday?
