It is starting to feel a little festive in our household and I have started to do a little holiday shopping and even signed up for a baking exchange. I am totally one of those people who avoids doing major mall shopping during the month of December and instead I take to the Internet and search and google my way to the perfect present.
To help kick off the upcoming holiday season here are some gift ideas from me to you for the little ones on your list.
For that squishy newborn in your life that you just want to spoil gift them a little luxury would be much adored and keep those little baby feet toasty warm. These faux shearling baby booties are from Egg Baby and you can get them at Purl Mama & Baby too.
This delicious breakfast may be wooden but it is perfect choice for your 3 + year old. I really appreciate wooden toys and the fact that they are usually pretty simple and basic. I think this would also make a great training set for your child until they are old enough to make you the real breakfast in bed. Check it out on line at Dandelion Kids.
My friend Heidi suggested this fun multipurpose toy from Bilibo that is a hit with the 2.5-5 year old crowd. You can buy it on line at Chapters here. I love toys that don't just have one function and encourage imagination. Plus this pick won't break the bank.
How about this bright dish set from Emily Green for that 6 month old who has just started in the adventures of solid foods. I like the fun pictures and the fact that they are durable. You can buy it a Crocodile Baby. It is the thoughtful part of gift giving that makes me happy and thinking ahead to your friends baby's next milestone is one way of picking a great gift.
My last pick is the Melissa and Doug Deluxe Ice cream Parlour kit for the fun food play. I could see me niece and nephew having endless fun with this set and playing make believe market together. Who is up for a strawberry ice cream or how about a scoop of chocolate to go with it? Go to Amazon to order your parlour set.

Well, Hello There!
Mama in the City since 2008 and blogging since 2009!
My first apartment baby is now a full on boy and we struggle with finding space in our condo for his growing toy collection. I'm also a new mum to our second apartment baby, born January 13, 2012!
I have a husband who is an excellent cook and takes amazing photos. I work as a labor and delivery nurse and really love the work that I do and gave birth to baby #2 at my work place.
I use this space to write about my family and to share my passion about breastfeeding, birth and parenting. I have a fantastic purse collection and have loved watching it grow, mostly lovely gifts over the years from my husband. I currently have a closet full of purses that are too small or impractical to fit a diaper or sippy cup in, and so they are on hold for future years.
Have a question or a comment? Email me! I also love to read comments left on posts, so feel free to leave me a note!

We have the ice cream parlour. It is a huge hit. Just bought the Melissa and Doug grill set- kabobs and all. And a cash register! Our boys are going to love running their own little restaurant!
