Whether you're looking for your own minis, a niece or nephew, a friend's baby, or a new parent, shopping for littles can be a big stress—especially if you don't know what you're doing. If this was four years ago, I would have been completely lost writing this story. In fact, I would have probably refused all together. However, two boys and countless occasions for gifting later, I kind of feel like an expert, so here goes nothing!
Today, I've rounded up the best gifts for children, babies, and parents. This holiday season, I have something for every family member and budget but also every vibe. Whether they're into DIY activities, park picnics, books, or keeping up with the cutest in kids' clothes, I've got it all and then some. Ready to spoil the little ones in your life? Simply keep scrolling to get started.
If the family you're shopping for doesn't already have this, it's a no-brainer. Just look at the Nordstrom reviews for proof.
When someone asks me what to buy my kids for a holiday, occasion, or birthday, my answer is books 99% of the time.
Trust me. Parents need this.
If someone you know is in the process of designing a nursery or kids' bedroom, they're going to love a custom blanket.
I've found that you truly can never have enough storage baskets in a home with kids.
I bought these and cannot tell you how adorable they are.
Lunch boxes are always a crowd-pleaser.
Don't forget to customize it!
We love an activity gift that occupies the little ones, and this can be great for siblings to share.
This is so much cuter than what's currently in my apartment.
I just bought this frame to display holiday pictures, and I'm obsessed.
I love that you can iron these onto anything!
Can't go wrong.
I love every iteration of the Pottery Barn "Anywhere" seating collection and so do kids!
This feels open-ended in a good way. It can worn on its own, added to an existing necklace, or added to in the future.
This elite, easy-to-fold stroller is a win for the whole family.
If you're looking for fancy pj's for the whole family, this brand has got you covered.
I just might have to buy this right now.
This is honestly genius.
Bonus points if you also get this chic carrying case.
This is so fun for kids, or you could opt for something a little more understated for the parents and whole family.
I know one parent in my household who would be very happy about this.
I love the idea of getting a different color and design for each member of the family.
Zara Home can make anything aesthetically pleasing.
Who isn't a sucker for those iconic Bonpoint cherries?
No words other than to tell you there's also a version for dads.
Given the astronomical rate at which babies and toddlers outgrow their pajamas, I know I was always happy to receive more.
This would be a cute matching moment with the parents too.
Storage, storage, storage!
This little jacket melted me!
Unwell.
Don't forget the matching suit for mom.
Uggs work for anyone in any family.
Seriously adorable.
Since you can't give the gift of a nap, a nap dress might be the next best thing.
Having kids means getting truly excited when someone gives you sheets.
How have I never thought of this as a gift before?
I want them for myself.
