These are two invaluable guides that can definitely work for older infants and young preschoolers also. This year, with the arrival of our sweet baby Bentley, we are focusing on the babies in your life! This gift guide is separated into 8 easy to navigate categories ranging from inexpensive items to moderately expensive items. This guide isn't just for the holiday season though, these products would make excellent gifts for a baby shower or for any other one of baby's first holidays! A few of these items you will see are aged for slightly older children, but we don't like to hinder our babies' development over here and always offer toys at slightly more advanced levels. Use your best judgement when purchasing toys for your little one! Babies are super fun to shop for and there are plenty of exciting toys to pick up for them that will be both stimulating and educational. Don't leave them out!

We have a lot of baby gear over here and use it all at some point in baby's first year of life. Most of these items make phenomenal baby shower gifts, but if the baby you're shopping for doesn't have one of these, you can't go wrong with purchasing something that will definitely get used. I know I love getting my money's worth when purchasing a gift. One of the quintessential items that I think is fun for baby is the activity gym. It is where baby typically receives their first exposure to toys.
