The Best of Baby Giant Giveaway

I can hardly believe that Tommy will be one in just two months. He’s been the easiest baby (which probably means I’m “in for it” with the toddler days ahead). He loves trying new foods, gets excited to play with new toys and is always on the move. When it comes to baby products and gear with Tommy, I feel like I have finally gotten the hang of what’s essential, what’s worth the splurge and where to save. We’ve tried some great new products, but there’s also quite a few products I’ve used and loved with all 3 babies. Below is a list of some of our favorite items for baby. Plus, we’re really excited that one lucky mom or mom-to-be will win our entire “Best of Baby’ list to use with their little one! Check out the bottom of the post to enter. 

The Best of Baby

Baby Book & Milestone Stickers: Lucy Darling

Tommy is a 3rd child and actually has a baby book. Can you believe it? It’s only thanks to the super easy, too cute to resist baby books from Lucy Darling. A good friend got one for her baby and once I saw how easy it was to fill out I had to grab one too. Lucy Darling also makes the best baby milestone stickers I’ve seen. They’re bold, fun and come in so many great designs. The artwork on the baby book and stickers is beautiful and the perfect way to capture baby memories. 

Shoes: Freshly Picked

Tommy just grew out of his 1st pair of Freshly Picked moccasins. We got him a yellow pair around this time last year, before we knew if we were welcoming a baby boy or girl. They are the easiest shoes to get on baby’s feet and stay on so well. We’ve loved our teeny yellow moccasins and Tommy just got a brown pair for fall. 

Freshly Picked moccasins are all hand made in the USA and made with durable leather. These shoes are great for babies and toddlers, so they make the perfect baby gift or even a first birthday gift! 

Sleepers: Offspring

The first time I went shopping for Tommy, my 1st boy, I bought the most blue sleeper I could find! It was so much fun to shop for a baby boy. The sleeper was royal blue with elephants on it and it quickly became our favorite. It was a brand I hadn’t shopped before: Offspring. It was so soft, held up to lots of washing and the pattern was bright and fun. Since that blue elephant sleeper, we’ve gotten more adorable Offspring outfits. Our current favorite: a blue chevron sleeper! Right now the entire Offspring site is 50% off with code 50off (so this chevron set is only $11). 

Swaddle: Just Born Deluxe Swaddle & Simple Swaddle

Just born has a great collection of Safe Sleep items. They were all designed in consultation with pediatricians, nurses and physical therapists. They make it easy to achieve a “perfect swaddle” every time. They are also super soft and come in adorable patterns. 

Blanket: Just Born Wear-a-Blanket

In their Safe Sleep collection, Just Born also features a Wear-a-Blanket. These are great, safe blankets to use once baby is done being swaddled. I love the Easy Comfort Wraps inside that provide tummy support. I think this makes the transition from being swaddled a lot easier. They also have mesh vents on them that prevent overheating. 

Bath Towel: Aden + Anais

We love the Aden + Anais bath towels and wash clothes. They are the best size and so soft. We still have our towels from when Maggie and Alex were babies, but since they are all pink, we thought Tommy could use a new set! These towels are by far our favorite and also make a great baby gift. 

Rocker:  Tiny Love Cozy Rocker Napper 

This rocker is a dream! It’s easy to use and fits baby from birth to months old. It easily converts from seat to cozy napper and features soothing movements to rock your baby in all 3 reclining positions. When the baby is not napping and just enjoying the rocker, there is an electronic toy with adorable soft toys to enjoy! 

         

Crib Toy: Tiny Love Double Sided Baby Crib Toy 

This toy has been a hit in the play yard. I like that it plays soothing sounds and music. It’s interactive and fun to play with but great for sleep too. It fits most cribs and play yards. 

Play Yard: Viaggi + Playard 

We’ve tried a lot of play yards, and we’ve been really impressed with the Viaggi + Playard. It’s really easy to set up/breakdown and it’s comfortable for baby: two key things for a play yard. Also, you can’t beat the price! It offers plenty of room for fun and/or sleep and features a plush overstuffed mattress, lightweight frame and removable bassinet insert. It’s honestly so easy to close and then stores nicely in a small bag. 

Play Area: Galt Playnest 

Tommy got the Galt Playnest for his 1st Christmas, when he was just a few months old. It was comfy to lay in and watch all the fun farm animal toy. As he grew, it became a place to sit up and play. The best part about the Playnest: the main piece is inflatable. So when you want to put it away and store it for another baby, it doesn’t take up any room. 

Toys: Ambi Toys

I love primary colored, classic looking baby toys. The toys from Ambi are just that. They remind me of toys my brothers played with as babies. The sunshine Twin Rattle is Tommy’s favorite toy. It’s included in the Baby Gift Set, which makes a perfect shower or baby gift. It includes so many fun, interactive toys for babies. Another great baby product from Ambi is the Ted and Tess Pram String. This toy will entertain baby for months as you walk him/her in their stroller.

Corolle: We also think Corolle dolls are great for babies. We always had the dolls for Maggie & Alex as they grew to be toddlers/ preschoolers, but never knew they made such soft, sweet dolls for new babies too. They are lightweight and the bodies are super soft for snuggling. They also offer really cute gift sets for babies. 

Socks: Trumpette

What’s cuter then tiny baby feet? I think that’s why everyone loves to buy baby socks as gifts. We’ve tried a lot of socks and are favorites are Trumpette. I got a set of the adorable Mary Jane socks from a friend when Maggie was born and then another set with bows when Alex arrived. This time around we were ready for some Trumpette boy socks. For boys, we love the Johnny’s Infant Socks (they look like little sneakers!) and the Howdy set. The socks from Trumpette are not just really cute, they also stay on baby’s feet really well. 

Keeping Organized: Mabel’s Labels

With a new baby in the house, every little bit of help organizing is appreciated. We love the Baby Set from Mabel’s Labels. The Baby Label Pack is a bundle of UV resistant, waterproof labels and tags. They are perfect for labeling: diaper bags, bottles, onesies, booties, sip cups and more. This is a great new baby gift.
