These recommendations are safe, developmentally appropriate, and fun! We've recommended books, toys, parenting gear, and fun activities. Most are under $20, and some are even free.
Here are the guides:
- 10 Creative Gifts for Infants
- 10 Creative Gifts for Toddlers
- 10 Creative Gifts for Preschoolers
- 10 Creative Gifts for New and Expecting Parents
- 10 Creative Gifts for Parents of Toddlers and Preschoolers
The recommendations are all written by Tumblon featured bloggers: myself and Karina Glaser, with input from other parents. The author of each recommendation is noted with initials, like (SD) or (KG).
How about you? What are you giving or hoping to get this year? What would you recommend to other parents?
The gift of good health is the best gift of all! My friend sent me a really neat gift for my kids and me. It is called a Germy Wormy. It reduces the spread of germs as it is a “disposable sleeve to protect clothes” and is a great tool to teach my kids to cough and sneeze in their elbow instead of their hands. (This is the way the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends to prevent the spread of germs.) If we can stop the spread of germs and avoid 1 round of sickness, this is worth it! I think am giving these as holiday gifts to a few of my friends!
