Practical and Adorable Holiday Baby Gifts

Let’s face it, holiday gifts for babies are mostly just fun for the grown-ups to pick out, because, well, babies don’t fully understand the holidays yet. This is why we always love giving gifts that are both practical and adorable when it comes to baby’s first gifts for the holidays. We rounded up our top picks for holiday baby gifts for any baby in your life. These would also make fantastic baby shower gifts!

MAM Baby Brush: Toothbrushes are a fantastic stocking stuffer, and baby doesn’t need to be left out this year; we’re excited to introduce you to the toothbrush for babies from MAM. Babies can start to learn to brush their teeth as early as 6 months old, and these brushes are a wonderful way to begin the toothbrushing journey with your little one. This BPA free toothbrush has bristles that are extra soft and rounded to remove plaque and bacteria from their little growing teeth. And, the handle is short and compact for small hands with non-slip material and ergonomic shape for a sure hold, even for little hands. Developed with dentists, the smart MAM oral care products ensure that babies get used to regular oral hygiene step by step. Coming in a few cute colors, these MAM Baby Brushes are a must have holiday baby gift pick this holiday season.

Bibito Baby Bib: Along the lines of a functional and stylish baby gift, we love the Bibito Bibs for babies for so many reasons. Featuring a outfit-saving food catcher and waterproof surface, the Bibito silicone bib makes mealtime less messy and more fun. They’re made of lightweight, flexible, stain-resistant, eco-friendly, food-grade silicone, and they are very easy to clean, even on-the-go. They’re also adjustable to fit infants and toddlers, so you can use for a long time. We love all of the modern colors they come in, and a set of them would be a perfect gift for baby or a baby shower. They would especially make a perfect holiday baby gift guide pick because each bib purchase provides one meal to combat hunger.

Binka Bear: Sure, you can get your little one a teddy bear for the holidays, but wouldn’t it be fantastic to gift a teddy bear with a purpose? Enter, the Binka Bear! Binka Bear, designed by a mom of two, was created to help toddlers ditch the pacifier, using the bear’s special design and associated book. Each Binka Bear comes with a beautifully illustrated rhyming storybook and includes a lovable plush stuffed bear with 2 hidden pockets, one in each hand, that allow your child to give their pacifiers to Binka Bear PERMANENTLY when the parent seals them inside with the easy to use laces. The Binka Bear is a perfect gift for any baby or toddler in your life who needs to ditch the paci in a loving way.

Holiday Toddler Must-Have Gifts

If you’re on the prowl for the perfect toddler gift this holiday season, don’t fret, we’ve got you covered. Toddlers can be difficult to shop for sometimes because they change their minds so many times a day, so we’re sharing our top picks for any toddlers in your life.

4moms breeze GO playard: While this first gift in the guide isn’t necessarily for toddlers, it will certainly make life with toddlers a whole lot easier – especially during the busiest travel season of the year. The 4moms breeze GO playard is an easy-to-use designated play, sleep, and lounge safe space for your toddler. Whether you’re cooking in the kitchen, taking care of an older sibling, or need safe sleeping spot for on-the-go, the 4moms breeze GO is a must-have toddler necessity for any family. We love that it opens and closes in one simple step. Simply push down on the central hub to open and pull up to close – the latches are automatic and there’s no tricky sequence of steps, which means you can have toddler in a safe space in no time flat. It seems that toddlers are always getting into every nook and cranny they can find, so we appreciate that the breeze GO has mesh sides so the toddler can see out into the world. The 4moms breeze GO playard holds up to 30 pounds, so it’s ideal for all toddlers, just add a few toys and let them play while you get dinner on the table. And, it even comes with a travel bag, which means you can pack this light-weight playard for on-the-go without a worry!

Cubcoats: We’re huge fans of gifts which do double duty – especially when it comes to toddler gifts. Utilitarian and fun? An ideal gift! Cubcoats are a 2-in-1 stuffed animal which transforms into a super soft hoodie! Cubcoats are made from durable and super soft material for cuddly comfort, and they are ethically sourced, double lined, made with premium materials. We love that they are machine washable, dry safe, and ready to play! The best part? They have so many different options to choose from! From Spiderman to Elsa to a cuddly bear, you’re sure to find a special CubCoat for any toddler in your life. With Frozen 2 coming to theaters right before Thanksgiving, we know many toddlers and kids will be clamoring for Frozen themed gifts this holiday season – Cubcoats not only has an Olaf, but an Elsa, and an Anna!

Monti Kids Subscription: Subscription boxes are all the rage for gift giving this year, and it’s no secret that we’re huge fans of Monti Kids. Monti Kids is an at-home Montessori toys subscription service for birth to age 3. Every three months, you receive a box of authentic Montessori toys tailored to your child’s age and developmental stage. It also includes videos showing how to use the toys and support your child’s growth. If you’re looking for new activities for your toddler (that don’t involve a screen!), you’re going to love the boxes from Monti Kids. Plus, you also gain access to one-on-one support, online classes and an incredible community including Montessori experts. Founded by Zahra Kassam, internationally certified as a Montessori teacher, this program combines the expertise of world-renowned teachers and lets you bring it to life in the comfort of your own home.

Mochi Blocks from People Toy Company: What kid doesn’t love blocks? And in this case, parents will love them too. In fact, the Mochi Blocks from People Toy Company are one of our favorite gifts to give the toddlers in our life. The Mochi Blocks Set comes with 28 pieces that offer your child endless hours of play. Each piece is made with special rice-plastic technology for safe, sustainable learning and play. Each Mochi piece is created with rice that’s harvested in Japan and then transported to People Toy Company’s state-of-the-art facilities.

And finally, their engineers hand-assemble each piece, free of any harmful adhesives and paints. The pieces are then packed with love and care, before they make their trip to your home.

Dékor Diaper Pail: The Sleek, Convertible Solution

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

If you’re new to the diaper pail world, here’s a little history: Diaper pails were typically tucked away in the far corner of babe’s room, because the stench was…what you’d expect it to be. Plus, they were big, bulky and involved a complicated removal process. Luckily, the Dékor Diaper Pail entered the market and changed all of that.

Designed as a hands-free diaper pail, you simply step on the foot pedal and drop your dirty diaper in. There’s no twisting or turning to secure the smell; the rubber seal and trap door seals the odors. Plus, the Dékor refills are one continuous liner, so you can empty as often as you’d like…without much effort. Just open the door, pull the liner down, cut it with the built-in babyproof cutter, tie and throw away.

On top of the amazing odor-containing features, simple design and convenient liners, we absolutely love the Dékor Diaper Pail’s sleek look. It can easily be added to any room in the house without disrupting the vibe—which is a total bonus—as we all know that impromptu changes occur everywhere.

Just when you didn’t think you could love a diaper pail anymore (when did we ever think we could actually love a diaper pail? #momlife), there’s a convertible factor that takes this one into the must-have category. When babe and you say goodbye to diapers—it does magically happen—the Dékor Diaper Pail converts into a trash can. This two-in-one, budget-friendly feature adds so much value to the already-awesome baby essential.

Speaking of value, the Dékor Diaper Pail is one of the most cost-effective diaper pails available. Its convertible design lets you keep it in your home for years. And, there’s one last notable fun fact to mention: It’s great for disposable or cloth diapers. So, whichever you choose, this mommy must-have can accommodate both.

Innovative, inclusive, simple and sleek—and priced really well—the Dékor Diaper Pail is our top pick for many reasons. Do you have one? Let us know what you think about it in the comments below!

Their Apple+Ceylon Cinnamon Sauce cups are Demeter Certified Biodynamic® and USDA Organic, plus GMO free and kosher. They are made with just two ingredients, Biodynamic Jonagold apples and Organic Ceylon Cinnamon.

b. box Large Smock & Bib: If you’re baking and cooking with toddlers or kids, we have a feeling you’re going to want a way to protect their holiday attire. We’re fans of the b.box large smock and bib, which is ideal for 2-4 year olds. Coming in a variety of fun colors, this unique waterproof design covers all over, including the legs when seated, making sure those big kid legs stay mess free. We love how it conveniently tucks away into its own pouch, for easy storage and travel. Making holiday cards or ornaments? It is also great as an art smock for those messy creative moments. This would make an ideal gift for any kid in your life, as it is BPA, Phthalates, and PVC free, so it is safe for year round baking, cooking, and crafting fun.

Melissa and Doug Baking Set: If you’re looking for a fun gift for a kiddo in your life, we love gifting the Melissa and Doug baking set. Made from wooden pieces, this set is sure to inspire the little baker in your life to create some fun recipes. It’s a fantastic introduction into the world of cooking, and a great way to inspire tech-free playing during the holiday season.

They will feel like they’re on their own reality TV show with their very own orange apron and it’s a great way to get kids in the kitchen this holiday season!

Hava, Jiva Bib: If you’re looking for a pretty bib for the little ones in your family, we’re loving the gorgeous prints from Hava. These bibs are ideal for drooling babies, and protecting holiday clothing from messy baby feeding time. Cloud-soft to the touch, this bib has an all-over print inspired by the rohira blossoms found throughout Rajasthan. Catch those messes without compromising style. A mini serving of chic to top off dresses and simple tees alike.

The Village Reviews: Beautycounter Winter Favorites

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Winter weather is here! Let Beautycounter provide relief to dry skin the natural way with their Baby Daily Protective Balm and Baby Soothing Oil. Both products are great for babies and parents alike. Beautycounter excludes over 1,500 questionable ingredients to keep things simple and safe. Our Gugu Village Parents were able to test Beautycounter’s Baby Protective Baby Balm and Baby Soothing Oil and provided us with their thoughts.

I am always excited to try new natural skincare products and loved adding BeautyCounter’s Baby Soothing Oil to my son’s beauty regimen.

When I first received the bottle I wondered how many applications it would last for, but was pleasantly surprised how little product you actually needed to use. The oil is very light upon application and easily absorbed into the skin. I also really like that it had a very light fragrance that wouldn’t overwhelm my son.

This would be a great product for dry winter skin and is definitely a product I could use myself as well.

I have tried a lot of children’s moisturizers on the market and the BeautyCounter Baby Soothing Oil is my favorite!
-April A.

I tried the Beautycounter Baby Daily Protective Balm and I like how it is a completely natural alternative for diaper rash creams. We have used it on my son’s bum at night time diapers to help create a barrier to make it to the morning without any rashes. I also have used it around his chin where his skin is reddened from the paci and drooling due to teething. It would be nice for the winter in a dry, cold environment. I do love how it is made of completely safe ingredients and is unscented for sensitive baby skin.
-Kelsey M.

I had the opportunity to test Baby Soothing Oil by BeautyCounter. I wash my hands a lot and suffer from very dry hands and eczema. Usually, when I put lotion or anything on my hands, they burn where the eczema cuts are, but not with this product!! It actually felt soothing when I put it on. 1 pump was sufficient to cover my hands. I love that there are only 3 ingredients and it didn’t leave my hands feeling oily! I have only used it for a couple days but it has already improved my skin so much! I no longer feel like I am rubbing sandpaper on my baby’s skin when I touch him. This will be a huge help for my boys and myself through this upcoming winter too! So thankful to have tried this! I have found my new favorite moisturizer that is safe for my whole family!!
-Tiffany L.

This Baby Daily Protective Balm is awesome! I love the company and everything they stand for (they’re fighting for safer beauty which I can always get behind). I already had some makeup items from the line but was really excited to try this balm for my son (almost 2). We live in Boston and the weather has been really dry lately so I’ve been applying the balm to some dry patches on his arms and after about 4 days they disappeared. The Baby Balm also came at the perfect time because our whole family caught a cold. I used it on my son’s nose and on my dry lips and saw a noticeable improvement. The only downside to the product is that there are little chunks in it (probably from the all-natural ingredients) so it does not go on completely smooth but it did not bother me or my son so we can definitely live with that for the clean ingredient list. I’m expecting a newborn in January and will definitely be adding this to our list of baby supplies to have on hand.
-Denalee M.

How to Swaddle a Baby with Love to Dream

by Gugu Guru 1 Comment

How to swaddle a baby: Typically, it takes a village. Wrap it this way, then that way (or was it that way?), then tuck this in there (or is it there?). It’s a challenge—and one that requires nurses, videos, MANY attempts, and a surprisingly large amount of patience.

So, the answer to the question, “How to swaddle a baby?” is that there’s truly an art to it. That’s why this innovative swaddle by Love to Dream is the perfect sweet-dream solution from day one. As a winner of the JPMA Innovation Award for the infant and toddler category, the Swaddle UP is the only swaddle that wraps babes in their natural arm-up position and allows them to self-soothe. It offers the snugness they love and need; it helps to calm babe’s natural startle reflex.

The ergonomic shape and ultra-soft stretch fabric helps to reduce the risk of swaddling too tight—it helps you make sure you have the right fit for your little one. The Swaddle UP gently applies pressure to their bodies to help settle them and guide them into snuggly snoozes.

A notable bonus: The dual-zipper design beautifully tends to middle-of-the-night diaper changes. There’s no need to disrupt your babe more than you have to. Hopefully, they’ll quickly fall back into a peaceful sleep as soon as you’re done.

When only swaddle blankets and sleep bags existed, we dealt with another round of sleepless nights during the getting-stronger stage. We’d reshape the swaddle, wrap tightly, repeat—throughout the night. However, ever since the Swaddle UP graced the parenting world with its stellar presence, we’re all about it. Its grow-with-me, brilliant design is key to seriously sweet Zzz’s for the whole fam. The first year is hard enough, so why not simplify the art of swaddling babes?

As you’re learning how to swaddle a baby at your mommy-to-be class or during trial-and-error sessions with your actual babe, keep calm and remember that Love to Dream’s Swaddle UP is ready to help.

The Village Reviews: Frida Baby DermaFrida Silicone Bath Mitt

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Are you looking to toss your toddler’s smelly washcloth? The Frida baby DermaFrida Silicone Bath Mitt has splashed into the market and does not disappoint. The silicone design ensures a hygienic way to wash while providing toddlers the opportunity to engage in independent self-care. Keep reading to see what our real Gugu Village Parents had to say about this awesome bath mitt.

We love the Frida Baby DermaFrida Silicone Bath Mitt! My toddler took to it right away. After I showed her how it fits on her hand like a mitten, she puts it on herself and easily scrubs all over. She even washes her own face, something she’s always fought me on when I use a regular washcloth. Because of the design, I feel more comfortable letting her wash herself and don’t feel as much of a need to rewash to ensure she’s clean. Plus at the end of the bath, we just hang it to dry by the suction cup, no fussing with wet washcloths! This mitt has been great!
-Angeline W.

What an innovative and fun idea for a toddler who is learning early hygiene skills! Although the Frida Baby Bath Mitt is not designed to be a toy or teether, it certainly serves that dual purpose for our 21-month-old! She loved the soft silicone and thought she was hilarious as she put it on her feet to scoop up the bubbles. As Ms. Independent, she is adamant about washing her body all by herself and the size of the mitt fit her hand well (mom and dad’s hands, too!). As parents, we appreciate that it is BPA-free and bacteria resistant. The built-in suction cup allows for easy storage and quick drying. It is strong enough to stay on the wall but weak enough that our daughter could pull it off the wall by herself. It doesn’t get sudsy like we thought it would, but that wasn’t an issue for us. Another win from Frida Baby!
-Erica F.

I have been using the Frida Baby DermaFrida Silicone Bath Mitt with my twin boys who just turned two. They have been having a lot of fun using it to clean themselves during bath time! One of my sons loves putting it on his own hand and sticking his thumb through the slot- it fits perfectly! Both of them have used it to scrub themselves all over. They like me to use it on their backs and heads. I like that it has drain holes for quick-drying, and I also appreciate the suction cup for easy storage. I think this will replace all those washcloths and reduce my laundry, too!
-Briana G.

Bath time just go a little cooler and more hygienic than you can imagine! Thank you, Gugu Guru, for the Frida Baby DermaFrida Silicone Bath Mitt. My daughter has been learning to wash herself and this helps to promote this with being a wash glove that her little hand can git in. She loves the silicone texture and the prickles make her giggle.
-Crystal B

My three-year-old son was very excited to try out the Frida Baby Silicone Bath Mitt as he is in a “do it myself” phase when it comes to bath time. He did not like putting his thumb through the kid-fit hole instead keeping his thumb out like I do when I take over for him. He didn’t seem bothered by the feel of the silicone but also didn’t prefer it over a standard washcloth. The Bath Mitt also doubled as a pretend “oven mitt” to hand me “food” while playing in the tub. 🙂

What I did love about the Bath Mitt was the suction cup allowing it to hang to dry. I hate how gross washcloths can get after using them if they’re not wrung out and dried. We also have the Frida Baby Bath Mitt and my son now hangs them together in the bathtub to dry.
-Ashley B.

The Frida Baby DermaFrida Bath Mitt is great! As soon as we showed it to our son, he wanted to use it during his tubby time. The Bath Mitt has a handy suction cup so it can hang in a vertical position allowing the bath water to drain out through the water openings at the end of the mitt. No mold and mildew here! As we all know, toddlers want to do everything themselves and the Bath Mitt is the perfect size for the little one to stick their hands in with convenient thumb slots(for the left and right hand) and wash themselves up like the little grown-ups they think they are. As a parent, the Bath Mitt makes bathing so much easier without having to hold a little towel to scrub the body clean and instead we can give them a soft gentle massage while getting their bodies clean.
-David T.

My husband and I have been huge fans of Frida Baby from the moment our son had his first cold and we discovered the amazingness of the NoseFrida. Well, the Frida Baby Silicone Bath Mitt is just as awesome and so well thought out like the rest of their products.

We are all about routines at our home and bath time is no exception. My five-year-old will be going into Kindergarten this year and we are trying to teach him the importance of a daily routine and being self-sufficient. Our boys get very excited about bath time and they can practically do everything themselves, except for the actual bathing part. My husband and I are always having to make sure they are getting clean and receiving a proper bath. We have been using the Bath Mitt for a few nights now, and holly molly it has been a game-changer! The Silicone Bath Mitt fits perfectly on my five-year-olds little hands and the thumb hole helps it stay without slipping off. I believe this is why it’s been so hard for him in the past because washcloths and loofahs can drop and slip with little hands trying to maneuver them. My son is now able to get everything clean himself and help his brother get clean too, it’s a win-win for kids and parents alike!
-Anne E.

Baby Keeps Getting Stuffy Nose? Try These Tips!

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

When baby keeps getting stuffy nose and congestion, it can upset sleep and feeding schedules and cause baby to be very cranky. With cold & flu season here, it’s good to be prepared. There are three products that Gugu Guru thinks are total game changers when it comes to unblocking stuffy noses and providing your baby with some much-needed relief.

Here they are in no particular order:

Fridababy Snotsucker – Winter and cold weather tend to come with a lot of congestion for babies’ little noses! It can be tricky to breathe properly when baby keeps getting stuffy nose, which can cause him or her to sleep less, and become fussy! Luckily, the NoseFrida by Fridababy is here to the rescue. The NoseFrida is a pediatrician endorsed nasal aspirator which uses use parents’ own suction to safely and effectively clear stuffy noses. The NosaFrida comes with a Natural Sea Salt and purified water specially formulated for small noses which will assist in removing all of the congestion along with the suction. This cold weather must-have items for families may seem like a wild idea, sucking your own baby’s snot, however, it is super hygienic and the disposable filters are clinically proven to prevent the transfer of mucus or bacterial germs to the snot sucker when clearing stuffy noses. Plus, it’s dishwasher safe for easy clean up! Buy Now >>

Crane Humidifier – Moist air is easier to breathe. Humidity also makes it easier to get the mucus out of your baby’s nose (which by the way, a clear nose can help a congested baby nurse more easily too.) Humidity is an effective, natural alternative to medications for cold. The Crane Humidifier is both quiet and effective. The extra humidity helps babies to breathe easier, meaning they can sleep better and eat with less frustration helping them to be better equipped to fight off a cold. Babies also do not have the ability to clear their noses on their own so the humidifier helps with this as well. Crane Humidifier’s Ultrasonic Cool Mist increases air moisture for easier breathing and a good night’s sleep. In addition to relieving cough, cold, and flu symptoms, nasal congestion, the Humidifier can help with dry cough, sinus irritation, nose bleeds, and dry skin and hair – common problems during the winter (not just for babies!) And on the topic of germs, the Crane Humidifier’s Clean Control Antimicrobial Material is proven to help reduce mold and bacteria growth up to 99.96%. Buy Now >>
