The gift-giving season is upon us, and what could be more heartwarming than shopping for the tiniest members of our families? Our curated guide, full of gift ideas for babies, is here to help you find a gift or two that the baby you’re shopping for will love. From toys that spark developmental play to snuggly apparel, there’s something here for every baby phase you find yourself in.
Have you seen a more darling little beanie? Not only is it adorable, but it’s handmade with super soft cozy yarn and an inner lining, perfect for keeping a baby warm and comfortable. This is also a great opportunity to shop from a small business this holiday season.
When our kids were babies, I would gift them a plain old tissue box for Christmas and birthdays because babies are completely entertained by just sitting and pulling out all the tissues. This is a cuter, reusable version of that!
Every parent is always on the hunt for something to help their babies fall asleep and stay asleep. This snuggly otter, while adorable, plays calming music and white noise, gently vibrates, and mimics the rhythmic motion of breathing to help soothe and comfort the baby.
I’m sorry, but I think this is the cutest onesie I’ve ever seen! If you gift this, make sure you take pics of the baby wearing it and send them over to me!
A darling customizable elephant rocker is sure to become your little ones’ favorite thing, especially once they’re in the toddler phase.
Every baby needs a little snowsuit to keep them warm this time of year, making them instantly more kissable and squishable.
This is more of a gift for the parents of babies! At first glance, it looks like a fanny pack, and yes, it does buckle around your waist and store things, but it doubles as a hip carrier! Give the gift of not-so-tired arms this Christmas.
The moment your baby is ready for a walker, you’ve entered a new phase in life! This stylish walker has an adjustable height so it can grow as your little one does, and it collapses easily when you’re ready to put it away.
I’m such a sucker for a unique toy like this adorable sausage dog baby rattle. This heirloom-quality toy will stay with them for years or be passed down from kid to kid.
Baby’s first phone! It’s safe to chew and fun to press the buttons again and again, not to mention it’s cute.
Did you know that babies’ vision takes time to develop? This black-and-white high-contrast picture book is perfect for stimulating their growing minds.
Celebrate your baby’s first Christmas with a special customizable ornament to always remember the day by.
I can practically picture these tiny little socks on a chunky, squishy baby foot!
One thing we know about babies is they’re destined to make messes. This wipeable play mat is cushy enough to play on, and durable enough for diaper changes.
My favorite kinds of gifts are keepsakes that last through the years and make you think back on how tiny and precious they were each time you come across a keepsake bin. This personalized alphabet blanket is one of those pieces.
If I could go back in time to when my little ones were babies, just so I could put this cute pom-pom beanie atop their heads, I would.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
