There’s nothing more fun than shopping for a baby.  However, the gift options out there are endless and can be overwhelming! Here are some of our favorite items for a baby or toddler that we are sure they will enjoy as well as swoon-worthy gifts any new mama would squeal over for her little one.

8.  ScholarShare 529 College Savings Plan

While I am sure the thought of your little one leaving for college seems so distant, it is never too early to start saving for their college fund.  A 529 College Savings plan is the most practical gift in our gift guide, but probably the most meaningful in the long run.  A unique part of the plan is the capability to receive gift contributions from friends and family to help grow the account too!

9.  Cuddle + Kind  Dolls

This may be my favorite gift within this guide.  Not only are these beautiful hand knit dolls safe, soft and cuddly for your little one, they serve a philanthropic purpose. For every doll you buy, it feeds 10 children who are in need. 

1o.  A Mother’s Haven Chewbeads Bleeker Teething Necklace  $34.50

Mamas can appreciate when fashion meets function, especially with these eye-catching jewelry pieces.  These baby-safe colorful necklaces also serve as a teething toy for babies.  So while you can accessorize your every-day outfit with these necklaces (offered in various colors) – it can tend to your baby’s teething needs as well!
