Obviously the most fun list to put together, this list is a whole bunch of things that I feel confident my children would obsess over…plus a few items that the moms on your list will most certainly be into (gold Wookie slippers and ’70s-print headwraps, anyone?).
1. What. Are these. (Things that I can’t believe I don’t already own, that’s what they are.)
2. Every cool little girl needs a cool leather jacket (and this one is red, making it even cooler).
3. Take your kid’s lunchbox style up a notch or twenty with this vintage-inspired print.
4. If you have a new mom or a mom-to-be on your gift list, I insist you get her the 4Moms bathtub. For real: it’s the coolest product ever, and makes bathtime unbelievably easier (click here for my review).
5. For a boy, for a girl, for whoever: these sneakers are just super cool.
6. Our son is super into floor puzzles and dinosaurs, making this puzzle is a perfect storm of joy.
7. Ride-ons are always a big hit…but this retro scooter will be a big hit with parents, too, because it can double as decor and thus will not be banished to the basement/yard/attic between uses.
8. Haba fabric books make super-sweet gifts for newborns.
9. Tiny little broken-in motorcycle boots? OBVIOUSLY.
10. A globe…made out of chalkboard, so your child can create her own world.
11. A head-wreath is not something that your child will ever actually wear in real life (or at least not something that mine will), but if you can get her to leave on this wreath of butterflies, flowers and leaves for long enough to take a photo, that’s clearly a win.
12. What we got Indy for Christmas (ssh): a kid-friendly digital camera of his very own (because he’s shown a probably-not-unsurprising early interest in taking photos).
13. A baby blanket may seem like an obvious gift, but this one is crazy unique and completely awesome. I love it.
14. Baby (or little girl) headwrap! Obsessed with that ’70s print and palette.
15. For an extra-special little girl gift: her first pair of fancy earrings (with kid-friendly screwbacks and sizing).
16. My favorite thing about this graphic teepee is that my son would freak out over it. My second favorite thing about it is that I would, too, and I’d totally let it sit in our living room and double as decor.
17. Indy’s favorite recent acquisition: this drill set, which may not seem especially exciting but is good for hours and hours of intensely focused play. Go figure.
18. And finally: a growth chart that’s stylish enough that you won’t feel the need to hide it behind a closet door.
