Cold Weather Gift Guide

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

It seems as though the colder weather is here to stay for most of the country for a while, so we rounded up some of our most favorite cold weather baby and kid items which would make great gifts for birthdays, showers, or as a treat for yourself! Read on to learn more about our cold weather gift guide. What are your cold weather baby must haves?

CubCoats: In true toddler fashion, many toddlers seem to be winter-coat resistant when the temps drop. It can be a real struggle to get them into anything warm, but we just may have found the solution! We’re obsessed with CubCoats, which are a fantastic gift for any toddler or kid in your life. 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. Plus, as parents, we love that they are machine washable and dryer safe. They’re ideal for all seasons of the year, as they aren’t too heavy, but just the perfect weight for warmth in the winter months and cool enough for spring and summer nights at the beach. They come in a huge variety of styles, so you’re sure to find one which fits your little one’s current animal obsession! Your toddler will love snuggling their soft stuffed animal, and when needed, their faithful friend will help keep them warm too. Win win!

Crane USA’s Drop Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier: In the winter months, with the heat running, a house can dry out very quickly, which can in turn, lead to dry skin on babies and kids (and adults!). The solution? A Crane Cool Mist Humidifier for your little one’s nursery or bedroom. The Crane Drop Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier is so easy to use, as it does not require a filter and is super easy to clean – meaning you don’t have to remember to buy anything else, just simply clean and you’re good to go. As parents, we appreciate the whisper quiet voltage, so it won’t wake anyone up when it turns on at night; speaking of, the Crane Drop humidifier can run for up to 24 hours and has an auto shut off, so if you’re in a sleep deprived state, it’s just one less thing to worry about. Plus, the Drop humidifiers have an anti-microbial base to reduce mold and mildew, so there is no need to worry about mold or mildew in your baby humidifier – and most importantly, they come in a huge variety of colors, so you are sure to find one to match your baby’s nursery (or get one for every room of the house!). Check out why we think Crane USA is a nursery must-have.

Kickee Pants: If you’re looking for something deliciously warm and adorable for babies this cold weather season, look no further than Kickee Pants. We love Kickee Pants for their adorable clothing in modern prints, soft fabrics, and lots of gender neutral options, but we’re especially loving their quilted hoodie coverall for the cold winter months. Their super sweet and super soft quilted coveralls feature a sherpa-lined hood with animal ears, for extra cuteness factor. The coveralls are insulated, but breathable enough to keep your little one from overheating, while still protecting them from the cold! The quilted bamboo helps to regulate temperature in all climates, so you can easily travel with the Kickee Pants coveralls, too. If you’re heading out with baby in tow and worried about the low temps, rest easy knowing the Kickee Pants coveralls will keep your little one warm and cozy, without getting overheated, and still keep their cuteness factor in tact, too! Check out two of our faves, the Quilted Hoodie Coverall with Sherpa-Lined Hood in Lucky Cat/Seagrass and the Quilted Hoodie Coverall with Sherpa-Lined Hood in Stone with London Dogs.

Fridababy’s NoseFrida the Snotsucker: Winter and cold weather tend to come with a lot of congestion for babies’ little noses! It can be tricky for little congested babies to breathe properly, which can cause them 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! Check out the New Baby Care Kit from FridaBaby, which includes the SnotSucker.

Thank you to CubCoats and Kickee Pants for making this post possible – we are so appreciative!

Real Moms Review: Eco-Friendly Mochi Teethers

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Japanese company, The People Toy Co., is known for creating innovative and fun products for babies and children. The Mochi line of teethers and toys are comprised of 51% food-grade rice and are free of harmful adhesives and paints. You can’t get more eco-friendly than that. As our Real Moms discovered, Mochi Toys provided hours of fun and teething relief!

From the minute we took the toys out of the package, my 9mo daughter favored them over the other toys in her basket. She was immediately drawn to the horn and loved surprising herself when she figured out how it makes noise. And the teething ring is also a big hit – the textures are a nice added touch. Both toys are easy to grip and chew, and they look nice too – I love the muted colors as opposed to loud/bright/primary like so many products out there. I’ll definitely be buying these as baby shower gifts and recommending them to friends! They are perfect for teething babies and I really love that they are made of rice and completely safe.
– Christine C., Mom to 7 Month-Old Daughter

When I received the Mochi teethers and started to read about the company I was very excited about the safe, eco-friendly teethers. My son is 11 months old and is a late teether so he is constantly putting everything in his mouth. It was a relief to know that I could trust these toys in his mouth. I was expecting to receive just a basic teething ring and wasn’t sure how interested he would be in it but I was excited when we got a trumpet that makes noise when you blow into it and a teething necklace. At first, I was more excited about the trumpet than Mikey. When I first showed him how it worked he was actually afraid of the noise of the trumpet. However, after about three days of slowly reintroducing it, he warmed up to it and started playing with it himself. He is now having fun with it as a toy. -Denalee M., Mom to 13 Month-Old Son

We were generously gifted the People Toy Company, Mochi trumpet and building blocks to review and our little girl adores them. In general, we try to get more green and less plastic toys so we really appreciate that the People Toy Company uses rice plastic! The innovative design uses 51% food grade rice and it has no toxic paints or adhesives, which is great because the trumpet and blocks immediately went into our baby’s mouth. Once I showed Mallary that the trumpet makes noise she wanted to start her own band! Fortunately for parents, it doesn’t make too loud of a toot and it’s not shrill either. Depending on if the baby is blowing in or out, it kind of sounds like a duck or quiet squeak! She picked it up very quickly and is so happy to play “music”!

Not only does Mallary enjoy blowing the trumpet but she has a great time smashing the block towers that I build for her. She also likes to bring the blocks from one place to another, place them in their original box or on her chair. There are several different shapes and sizes that are perfect for little hands. Mallary’s (8-month-old) nanny share buddy, drools and puts all the blocks in her mouth, and they both have fun shaking the rattles in the block set. It’s wonderful that the blocks are appropriate for a variety of ages. I’m looking forward to watching her build little houses in the next year. However, for now, she’s having way too much fun pretending to be Godzilla!

Thank you so much, Gugu Guru and People Toy Company for allowing me to review these colorful, environmentally friendly, and fun baby toys.
-Emily F., Mom to 14 Month-Old Daughter

Thank you so much for sending the Mochi Teether set for us to test. We have had a blast with the blocks. They were a hit from the get-go. My kiddo went straight for the rattles and ran around for a bit shaking them. The best part about trying them out was that for the first time my kiddo began building with me. I started stacking up some blocks and he joined in before knocking it all down. I’ve been keeping a couple of the columns near the changing pad since they have been super helpful keeping him calm and distracted during changes.

I also spent the last week visiting with several other similar age kiddos (5 months to 18 months) and they all loved them too. The parents all were curious about them (without me prompting them at all).

The trumpet has been well received too but due to the noise factor, it gets put away much of the time. My kiddo was pretty excited when he figured out how to work it.

Overall Mochi Toys have been a hit in our household and have been played with regularly since arriving.
-Laura S., Mom to 13 Month-Old Son

My one-year-old daughter thinks these blocks are wonderful! She loves to knock them over & they entertain her for a solid 7-10 minutes every time! The toy horn was a surprise for her to hear, & at first, she was scared of it, but after a few days she began to love it. She has even learned to blow the horn herself & thinks it’s so funny! I would definitely recommend these toys. It’s nice having the peace of mind knowing these are quality toys made from rice instead of harmful chemicals.
-Heather L., Mom to 11 Month-Old Daughter

Thank you to all of our Gugu Village Moms for testing the Mochi line of products and providing us with their honest thoughts. If you are interested in testing new products and meeting other new and expectant moms, join our Gugu Village, here!

Gift Guide: New Year, New Products!

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

One of our favorite parts of the year is researching and finding new products for our New Year, New Products post; this year is no exception, as we’re excited to introduce all of these awesome new baby and family products to you. Read on to learn more and check out some exclusive Gugu Guru discounts below.

b.box Insulated Bottle: Getting healthy and hydrated for the new year isn’t just for adults, but often is a family project! We’re loving these brand new b.box insulated bottles for your little ones; the double walled stainless steel keeps liquids cool for up to 7 hours and warm for up to 5, so now your little one can stay hydrated whatever the weather. Often water bottles are necessary for daycare, preschool, travels, and hanging at home…but they are susceptible to leaking, especially when they are tossed on the ground by toddlers and kids! However, the b.box insulated bottles are designed with an easy push button top opening and easy drinking silicone straw top, no leaks, no messes, no fuss! Your toddler or child will easily be able to open and close the bottle on their own without having to ask for help. The b.box insulated bottles even include a little handle so your child can carry their own water bottle while at school or during your travels. They come in 4 modern colors and make a fun little gift for any special moment.

PopYum: Whenever the Gugu Guru team comes across a new product to make formula feeding easier on parents, we get really excited to share it with our audience. Life with babies can be hectic and chaotic, and often you can find yourself with a crying baby in one hand in the middle of the market and no easy way to make a new formula bottle. Worry no longer, parents, PopYum is here! PopYum is the only bottle that was designed to be used with one hand only so you can comfort baby or multitask with your other hand. How does PopYum work? PopYum stores formula and water separately in the bottle. When hunger calls, simply press the buttons (or ‘Pop’), shake a few times, and ‘Yum’! PopYum can be used with water or breast milk; the breast milk is completely isolated in the bottom of the bottle. Therefore, the breast milk never touches the leak points of the tip of the nipple and anti-colic vent until you press the PopYum buttons which releases the agitator and allows the breast milk into the nipple area, making it safe for baby, even on-the-go. PopYum is only made of 5 parts, which is the same number of parts as many regular baby bottles and has up to 60% fewer parts as compared to other formula making bottles! The wide design eliminates the need to for a bottle brush (you can just use a regular sponge) and it’s top rack dishwasher safe. PopYum is made of only medical grade silicone and premium polypropylene. PopYum is BPA-, BPS-, latex-, lead-, nitrosamines-, PET-, phthalates-, PVC- and TPE-free, meaning it is safe for even the smallest of formula fed babies. Imagine not having to put the baby down to make a formula bottle – pretty cool! PopYum would make a great baby shower gift for any new parent, or for yourself – it’s great for every day use, travel, and parents of multiples, too. Use code 10Guru10 for 10% off your order of PopYum.

KinderPerfect: Being a parent is all about learning to laugh in the chaotic moments, and KinderPerfect is the perfect way to get those laughs going. KinderPerfect is the new card game that every parent needs; with 400 hilarious cards crowdsourced from actual parents, you and your friends can laugh at the challenges of parenthood, whether on game night, mom’s night out, baby showers, or family reunions. If you’re hosting game night, just reading the question cards to a room full of parents will get groans and stories before you even get to the answer cards. Heading to meet your mom friends for coffee? Bring KinderPerfect and see just how many commonalities you all have in your parenting horror stories. KinderPerfect makes the ultimate baby shower gift, and you should consider opening it up at the shower so everyone can share stories of their favorite parenting fail. KinderPerfect is very popular for family reunions as well, as you can learn fun facts about your childhood and your parent’s own parenting skills without the crassness of other card matching games, as KinderPerfect is designed to be family-friendly PG-13 in case little ears are around when the game is played. Be the cool mom at the next baby shower you attend and bring KinderPerfect, plus use code 10OFFCards to get 10% off your order.

Scarlett & Michel Smart Baby Clothes: Who doesn’t love getting new clothes for the New Year? Scarlett & Michel, founded by parents, creates beautiful organic baby clothing which is also super functional and practical, too. Their smart footed one-pieces with additional attachable combinations you can easily snap on and off to make your life a little easier! You can actually snap on a bib and a pacific strap at the same time – no more having to change baby’s onesie immediately after spitting up or spilling, as the bib snaps on, so it won’t bother your baby’s skin at all – and don’t even think about losing that pacifier, as the paci-strap snaps on to the pajamas. If you’re heading out with baby, you can even snap the little bonnet on as well, so it can’t come off (or be grabbed off) on your travels. No more replacing hat after hat, as your little one can’t throw this hat on the ground. We love how functional these pieces are, and how smart it is to snap all the different attachments on and off the actual clothing. Speaking of the actual pieces, they are made from organic cotton and spandex, so they are breathable and stretchy for moving around. The pajamas have convertible hands and feet options, so no more cold feed or baby scratching themselves. Plus, you can have fun with mixing and matching all of the print options! The Scarlett & Michel pajamas make a super unique and functional baby shower gift, as new parents soon won’t be able to live without them. Use code Welcome10 for 10% off.

LoveyLu: There are few things babies love more than their loveys and lullabies, which is why a genius mom had the idea to mesh the two into one. LoveyLu is a super soft and cuddly lovey/ security blanket that plays lullabies! Whether you are home or on-the-go, LoveyLu provides comfort and soothing lullabies wherever you may be. Using a rechargeable USB charging system, LoveyLu plays for 30 minutes at a time before shutting off, but can be reactivated for a total of 2+ hours before a re- charge is needed. The soft fabric and adorable animals are loved by babies and provides them a sense of comfort while they doze off. Lullabies are proven to help children fall and stay asleep, increase communication skills and regulate behavior. LoveyLu plays Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, Brahms Lullaby, Beethoven and more classical favorites! The elephant LoveyLu makes a fantastic baby shower gift, new baby gift, or even first birthday gift; your little one will love how soothing the soft fabric and sweet sounds are, and you will appreciate how soundly baby can rest. Plus, we love that LovelyLu donates a portion of all proceeds to Children’s Miracle Network. Use code TRAVEL15 for 15% off your order and get singing today!

Colugo Compact Stroller: Called the “Warby Parker of Baby Gear”, we’ve been hearing about the amazingness of Colugo and their new strollers for a while now, so when we got the chance to review one and include in our New Products roundup, we were excited to introduce this super cool new stroller to you all! Colugo was founded by a father who was fed up with the high price of baby products, so he started researching on his own and developed easy-to-use, high quality and very affordable baby gear, including this Colugo Compact Stroller. Coming in 5 colors (you may want one in each color!), this compact stroller is a must-have for any new parent, as it is the only stroller that can be folded up using one hand, in two-seconds – and yes, our team tested this out and it’s true! It’s incredibly lightweight and has a built in carrying strap, so when it’s folded up, you simply can carry it on your shoulder – and is no heavier than an overpacked diaper bag. For our minimalist or small-space living parents, the stroller folds up in a small and compact size, so you can easily store in an apartment without tripping over it. It even comes complete with removable, machine-washable layers; which means one can be in the wash and one on the stroller, Colugo’s swappable layers make it possible to change up your look and freshen up their ride. For a compact stroller, it has significant storage space, and even has an easy-on, easy-off rain cover and UPF 50+ sun shade which keeps your baby safe from the elements. Whether you’re looking for an every-day stroller, travel stroller, or baby gift, the Colugo Compact Stroller is a game-changer for all families; made with both parents and children in mind, the Colugo stroller makes it easy to adventure into the world with your little one.

The Mini Coco is a wardrobe essential for those cool summer nights and brisk fall days. A long sleeve boatneck, cut from 2-ply heavyweight cotton, the shirt features dropped shoulders and side vents.

Love + Kind Wrap Skirt: Mama deserves to dress up and feel fantastic this holiday season, too! When it comes to clothing for moms, we’re huge fans of wrap skirts because they are so versatile and one-size fits all – score! You can easily wear these Love + Kind Wrap skirts postpartum, as they are a heavy material and will cover any lumps or bumps you may be conscious of – and you can easily adjust the size, since it’s a wrap skirt. Love + Kind was founded by Danielle Camastra, whom went on a well building trip to Tanzania and was deeply moved by all of the communities she visited; upon her return, she wanted to share all of the beauty from Tanzania with the world. Love + Kind believes that “every skirt has a magical quality and people are drawn to the love and passion with which they were made,” and it’s not hard to fall in love with these beyond gorgeous skirts! Each skirt is one-of-a-kind made from local fabrics and created by Tanzanian artisans. They are elegantly constructed from fabrics available in only extremely limited quantities, and each piece will vary slightly in appearance for a unique look. There are so many gorgeous skirts to choose from, and they can easily be dressed up or down this holiday season.

ErgoPouch Layers Sleepwear: There’s nothing like gifting soft pajamas to the littles in your life for the holidays – and we are big fans of the ErgoPouch Layers for so many reasons. This luxurious sleepwear is made with either Organic Cotton or Bamboo Viscose for breathability and are Tog rated for warmth. The Layers range can be mixed and matched underneath the ergoPouch range of swaddles, sleep bags and sleepsuit bags for year-round comfort and include a 3-way zip, making nappy changing easy! We love their modern prints, and how there are so many gender neutral options, as well. The ErgoPouch Layers Sleepwear are ideal for traveling with kids during the holidays, as they are super soft, easy to wash, and beyond adorable.

NONA Signature Baby Bag: As busy moms know, your diaper bag quickly becomes your main purse – and the last thing you want is to feel like you’re lugging around a dirty diaper bag all day. Which is why our team are swooning over the NONA Signature Baby Bag – sophisticated, stylish – and incredibly practical, too. Made from vegetable tanned leather and easy-care fabric, the NONA Signature Baby Bag will help you feel confident on-the-go even when there’s baby drool in your hair.

Our urban mama Megan is rocking the NONA Signature Baby Bag and said, “I love it so much it’s been doubling as my work bag M-F.

Sip your cocktail in peace, and don’t worry about putting a bag down, as you can drink up while wearing your Mary Smallwood Nexus Bag on your wrist. Plus, they’re ideal for travel as they lie flat, and we think you should always have one stashed in your diaper bag in case you’re running into a store and only need one or two things. The new line of Nexus handbags come in five chic colors; Fade to Black, Old Fashion Espresso, Aviation Blue, Gibson Grey and Kir Royal Red.

Gabri Isle X Wolfcub Mint Green Limited Edition Knit Romper: It’s no secret we’re fans of Gabri Isle; Gabri Isle is an online boutique of curated baby clothes from European female designers.

The B.Box Neoprene Sippy Cup Sleeve is a must-have for your little one this holiday season. The Neoprene sleeve helps insulate liquid and protect your little one’s sippy cup base from life’s little knocks.

We love the Stuck on You Flash Cards, as they are a fantastic personalized gift for any toddler or kid in your life. With different topics, such as ABCs, emotions, animals, colors and numbers, these flash cards are a perfect stocking stuffer!

The cards feature bright and modern colors with whimsical designs; these cards can be used with babies, toddlers, or even elementary age and up for spelling, math, card games, and more.

Bryson’s Books, The ABCs of Christmas (kind of): Books are one of those holiday gifts which are ideal for any age, any distance, and a perfect family gift because you can all enjoy books together! We love Bryson’s Books as they feature funny, creative, and educational (shh, don’t tell your kids) books fit for the whole family. The ABCs of Christmas is no exception, and our editor’s boys had a blast flipping the pages on this fun Christmas journey. Books are a wonderfully traditional holiday gift, and we suggest gifting the ABCs of Christmas before Christmas morning as you can use it as a fun countdown to the big day and then save it for the following years, too!

Trend Lab Bandana Bibs: Bibs for baby are a perfect addition to any holiday gift, or a super sweet stocking stuffer! Bibs are a baby and toddler essential, as they are not only used for eating time, but for all those drooling babies too. Too much drool on your baby’s sensitive skin can cause a rash or irritation, which is why it’s important to invest in cute bibs for your babe. The Trend Lab Northwoods 2 Piece Reversible Flannel Bandana Bib Set is a must have for your little one this holiday season. The bibs are 100% flannel cotton and feature a double snap closure in the back allowing them to drape like an adorable bandana. Plus, you can simply unfold the bib to use as a burp cloth for maximum versatility.

Earth Mama, A Little Something for Baby: When it comes to anything related to baby’s skin or bathtime, we’re sort of obsessed with Earth Mama and all of their products. A Little Something for Baby is a 6 piece set which includes travel sizes of some of our favorite products in a sweet reusable non-toxic, PVC-free plastic zipper pouch. This would be such a sweet stocking stuffer or little gift for any new baby (or mama) in your life. The 6 piece set includes the Organic Diaper Balm, because being a brand new human is tough — so this diaper cream is as gentle as it is effective. Also? It doubles as a multi-tasking skin salve! The Sweet Orange Baby Lotion comforts, soothes and moisturizes sensitive, delicate skin with some serious cream-a-licious vanilla and orange, yummy. The Sweet Orange Baby Wash features gentle castile-based vanilla, sweet orange and calendula liquid soap makes bath time even sweeter and has NO artificial fragrance, triclosan, phthalates, parabens or sulfates. The Calendula Baby Oil has virtually scent-free Calendula-infused grape seed baby oil blend moisturizes dry skin and scalp, and adds extra softness to a sweet and loving infant massage. And, the Organic Baby Face Nose & Cheek Balm has ultra-rich organic calendula coconut balm and soothes dry skin, drooling chins and drippy noses. A soothing organic alternative to petroleum jelly!

Love + Kind Wrap Skirt: If you’re looking for the perfect unique gift for a stylish pregnant mom friend (or yourself), we’re huge fans of the Love + Kind Wrap Skirts, as they can be worn pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, and post-partum! Love + Kind was founded by Danielle Camastra, whom went on a well building trip to Tanzania and was deeply moved by all of the communities she visited; upon her return, she wanted to share all of the beauty from Tanzania with the world. Love + Kind believes that “every skirt has a magical quality and people are drawn to the love and passion with which they were made,” and it’s not hard to fall in love with these beyond gorgeous skirts! Each skirt is one-of-a-kind made from local fabrics and created by Tanzanian artisans. They are elegantly constructed from fabrics available in only extremely limited quantities, and each piece will vary slightly in appearance for a unique look. The skirts have a lovely weight to them, and both the Swirly Whirly Wrap Skirt (left) and the Cosmos Skirt (right) feature a slight sparkle, so you can easily dress the skirt up or down! The Love + Kind skirts are also a fantastic holiday party option for post-partum moms, as they hide any bumps or lumps and look sophisticated and elegant!

Unlike a book, there is no required commitment prior to labor, just open and use; plus, it is super lightweight and easy to carry in your hospital bag.

Baby’s First Gift: Colgate Mattress

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

With the holiday season upon us and gift giving in full swing, we want to chat about why a crib mattress is the ultimate baby’s first gift for the holidays; and, when we’re talking about crib mattresses, we always turn to Colgate Mattress. There are so many reasons we love and highly recommend Colgate Mattresses for parents and grandparents as a gift; as you know, the decision to pick out a standard crib mattress can be overwhelming for some parents, as not only is the mattress where baby will spend the majority of their time, but the crib has to be a safe and soothing place for baby to rest, play, grow, and learn. If you are going to invest money into your baby’s special first holiday gift, a Colgate crib mattress is not only a gift for the baby, but for the family as a whole.

One of the reasons we’re such fans of Colgate Mattress as a gift for a new baby is that they are a family owned and operated company, as well as made in America. The Colgate Mattress Factory in Atlanta, Georgia has been family owned since 1955; we’re huge fans of family owned businesses, and when you’re going to buy a big ticket item, such as a mattress, we always recommend going for the company with exceptional customer service! Colgate Mattresses are also a gift that keeps on giving, as Colgate mattresses are cleverly designed to accommodate baby as she transitions to the toddler phase with a simple flip of the mattress. One side is firm and supportive for infants while the other is slightly softer for toddler comfort. Plus, they are lightweight, so when it’s time to flip the mattress over, it’s as easy as can be.

Colgate Mattress are innovators when it comes to new sleep technologies as well. Their zenBaby Collection is designed with KulKote®, a groundbreaking water-based temperature-regulating technology that helps create a tranquil and secure, zen-like environment for baby to relax and sleep. When baby sleeps better at night, the whole house sleeps better too, which makes Colgate Mattresses a top present pick for baby’s first holiday. The Colgate EverTrue™ Diamond Mattress along with its Celliant cover is innovative as the Celliant cover helps recycle baby’s body heat through a mix of thermo-reactive minerals. In fact, according to Colgate, people who use textiles made from Celliant® report greater energy, improved quality of life and heightened sense of wellbeing. This technology will also last the lifetime of the mattress. It won’t break down or wash out.

Give the gift of peace of mind this holiday season when you give a Colgate Mattress, as Colgate always chooses to use non-toxic barrier fabrics instead of harsh fire retardant chemicals to give parents peace of mind while not only meeting, but exceeding federal flammability standards. Colgate takes your baby’s safety incredibly seriously and they are the first mattress company to use natural coir fiber made from coconuts shell husks. And, you can rest easy knowing that all of Colgate’s crib mattresses carry the Greenguard GOLD certification.

Your baby’s crib mattress is the cornerstone of the nursery, as he or she spends so much time sleeping, lounging, and playing in their crib; invest in the perfect first holiday gift for your baby this year and give the gift of safe and healthy sleep for your little one, which will keep your mind at peace – bringing health and happiness to your home for the holiday season, New Year, and beyond.

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

The holidays are the perfect time of year to spoil all the parents and caregivers in your life with special thank you gifts! It can be tricky to find the perfect gift for the caregivers in your life, as you want it to be meaningful, but not too personal – we rounded up our top present picks for all the parents and caregivers you want to shower with love this holiday season.

Softstar Shoes’ Fireside Slipper: Is there anything better than comfy and warm slippers for cold winter mornings? We think not, and we’re obsessed with Softstar Shoes’ Fireside Slipper for all of the grown-ups in your life this year. Our editor in chief got the chance to try a pair and won’t stop raving about how perfect they are! These super comfy and warm slippers are fully lined with plush natural sheepskin fleece, so your feet won’t get overheated, but will be perfectly warm and cozy. We love how light these slippers are, while still feeling strong, as they are ideal for packing in a suitcase for a weekend away or even bringing on car trips this holiday season. On those super cold mornings, you can wear them cuff up to cover your ankle, or roll down as a traditional slipper. We also love that these slippers are handcrafted in Oregon, from premium leather and sheepskin fleece. They’re a fantastic ageless, and gender neutral gift, which is sure to warm the heart of any parent or caregiver.

Kisco Print Shop Prints: If you’re looking for an original gift for a loved one this holiday season, we always love to give a bright and cheery print from Kisco Print Shop. Kisco Print Shop’s prints are versatile and surprisingly affordable and have been sought out by interior designers across the country. They make a perfect addition to any nursery, living space, or children’s room. There are a ton of colorful and modern designs to choose from, and we’re loving the “Rainbow Ombre” print collection – gender neutral and ideal for any room. Kisco’s “Rainbow Ombre” art print collection will brighten up any space. With three color sets to choose from, you can start a mini art collection for someone you love by giving them one for Christmas, birthday, anniversary, etc. For an additional cost, you have the option to frame them in these modern, bright lucite neon frames with a white linen background.

Majka’s Nourishing Lactation Protein Powder: When it comes to gifts for new moms, a fantastic way to support them and make them feel special is to provide them with the proper nutrition they need for feeling great. Majka’s Nourishing Lactation Protein Powder was specifically designed by mothers, for mothers. With Majka’s brilliant team of professional nutritionists specializing in whole food and plant-based nutrition, they took the needs of nursing moms, hand-selected ingredients to provide optimal nutrition for both mother and child, and added super ingredients known to help increase milk production. We love how easy it is for moms to use Majka’s nourishing lactation protein powder, as it is a wonderful option for busy moms to get all the nutrition they need; Majka knows that when a mom feels strong and happy she is better able to take care of the people she loves. Majka’s protein powder is an exceptional blend to help fill in those nutritional gaps your body needs to heal postpartum and beyond. Plus, it is free from heavily processed whey protein, synthetics, and artificial sweeteners, as well as being non-gmo, dairy and soy free, and alkaline, so it is ideal for any breastfeeding and postpartum mama. Majka’s gorgeous packaging and must-have lactation protein powder are a perfect stocking stuffer for any new mom in your life.

Au Liquid Gold Beer: Give yourself or a special mama in your life the gift of liquid gold during the holiday season! Yep, we’re talking about beer! If you have a breastfeeding mom friend or caregiver in your life, Au Liquid Gold is a unique and delicious gift you can send near or far. Did you know that beer could actually help boost milk production? It’s true! Au Liquid Gold is a nutrient filled brew created specifically for new mamas; this low-alcohol beer is enriched with milk-boosting ingredients, anti-inflammatory herbs and antioxidants. How does it work? The hops and grain in beer stimulate prolactin, the hormone that triggers breastfeeding. Au Liquid Gold features a hoppy malty fresh-brewed taste and the nutritional power punch of red raspberry leaf, fenugreek, coriander and oats; with its sleek packaging, Au Liquid Gold is a perfect gift for any breastfeeding mom. Give mom the gift of a break this holiday season and send her some Au Liquid Gold so she can enjoy a few moments of stoutly bliss! You can learn more about Au Liquid Gold’s benefits here, too.

The Striped Sheep Shirts: Is there anything more adorable than matching with your child? Now moms can match with their daughters AND sons in these gorgeous shirts from The Striped Sheep! Founded by a mom of boys who wanted to match with her sons, The Striped Sheet shirts feature both classic and bright colors where boys can wear rainbow and girls can wear blue. Their children’s shirts are unisex, offering a mommy and me combo for girls and boys alike (because little boys in stripes are the cutest). They offer two matching sets, the 100% cotton Pablo, made in Portugal, the heavyweight cotton Coco Set, which comes in both white and navy for mix-and-match designs. These shirts are classic, easy to dress-up or down, and can be worn alone or layered like a sweater. What an adorable gift idea for a boy mom who never has the chance to match with her kids! These would also be super sweet for holiday photos.

Humble Bee Boundless Charm Diaper Bag: For the busy parent on-the-go, a sophisticated and modern diaper bag is always a great go-to gift. We’re loving the sleek and chic lines of the Humble Bee Boundless Charm Diaper Bag. Whether you are taking the kids to a picnic or a hike, Humble Bee’s Boundless Charm diaper bag is the only bag you’ll need. The sleek and compact profile expands as you need more storage. And, it’s got a quick-access mommy pocket, an extra large insulated food pocket, and a built-in wet bag that keep everything well organized and protected inside out making this the perfect gift for the adventurous parents in your life. You will never need another family bag, as the Humble Bee Diaper Bag literally has it all, and weighs less than 1.5 pounds!
