Searching for some things for another blog I write, I began to find so many things for baby and toddlers. There is so much out there to choose from if you know what to look for at least. When looking for baby gifts, if you want to find something that is really different so that you do not give the same thing everyone else did, just search out the unique gift section of any online store. There are some really great things there. For instance, I ran across things like a nature gift basket that has some stuffed toys of non-domestic animals, a bird house that opens for a baby to grab things out and so on. It seems to be a good gift for a baby that is just learning to grab and hold on. How about a baby’s first teddy bear that can be held by very small hands. Very huggable.

Looking for gifts for toddlers is not much different. Usually, the classification starts at one year up for them. You can find a whole lot of good toys and clothing. My only concern is for safety and where it was made. That works for baby too. But the toddler items are plentiful. Everything from wooden blocks and toys to very complicated items are all available with a quick search using the words toddler and unique or gifts.

But I have to tell you that the best gift I have seen in quite a while for a small child or baby is a personalized book that my sister has for her granddaughter. The baby is still way too little to read it herself but she is fascinated with the pictures. Her name is all over the book but in such tasteful ways that you just enjoy reading it yourself. For instance, the cover of the book has a fall picture with leaves all over the ground but in front, all the leaves spell out her name. That is so cute. I discovered that all the pictures had her name spelled out in large letters so that when she gets to the age that she starts recognizing her name, she will be able to know it very quickly. And I have to tell you that this is not like some of those cheesy books that were personalized. This is on a much higher level of excellence. Well done.

      They are. Most kids love them because they can identify themselves in the story.

      Thanks for your input.
