Gifts for Infants
holiday gift guidecanada
(Dec.21.09)
So tiny, so quiet, so content with just being in mom or dad’s arms -- infants need so little, it can make shopping tough. So while we compiled a list of gifts for baby, we also tossed in a couple for the new parents, because they definitely deserve it.

Rocket Ship Hat
Finding adorable yet not-too-cutesy clothing for boys is tough. This rocket ship hat fits the bill perfectly and its rolling brim means we don’t have to worry about finding another hat until baby turns two.
$32, The Polka Dot Moose

Mommy & Daddy Hugs & Kisses
The collection of four board books touches upon all the ways mom and dad show their affection – love, kisses, hugs and cuddles – through illustrations of animal parents caring for their young. Simple and eye-catching, the boxed set makes a nice addition to the nursery library.

Picture Frame Pendant
A sterling silver double-sided picture frame pendant makes for a sentimental yet chic gift for the new mom. Add a sleek chain-link or soft mother-of-peal necklace or bracelet to complete the package, as well as a charm or Swarovski crystal.

Lullaby Renditions of Guns & Roses
Your infant hasn’t yet graduated to baby but you’re already tired of all those sugary sweet kids’ albums. Have we got the anti-kiddie album for you – well, sort of. The ever-popular Rockabye Baby! Series released its lullaby renditions of Guns & Roses in November. Grow out your hair, pass the newborn a bandana and rock out to something you can both enjoy.
$14.99, HMV

Organic Cloth Ball
Roll it, toss it, place it under baby for tummy time, the little cloth ball is useful and pretty to boot. Plus, it’s made with organic and sustainable materials, from the certified organic cotton to the lamb’s wool stuffing.
$23.95, Dress Me Up

Maple Print – Pinwheel
Sure you can hang an art print alphabet poster or a variety of animal silhouettes, they’re totally modern and cool. But there’s something about this pinwheel print by Lorena Siminovich that just takes us back to a simpler time (aka our childhood) and makes us want to decorate the nursery with happy memories.
$19.99 unframed, Ella and Elliot

Noonoo Home Sweet Home Comfort Blanket
Made of soft felted lambswool and featuring an image drawn by a three-year-old, the Home Sweet Home blanket is really sweet. But it's the little extras that make it a great find: patch windows that open, a door knob for the front door and tied corners, not to mention the gift box it comes in.
$29.99, cheekymonkey.ca
