Many of us are already beginning our Christmas shopping. Budgets are a little tighter this year, so it’s really important to make sure that we give gifts that will be fun, useful and appreciated!

1. Posh petals crochet hats and headbands are adorable for babies and toddlers. They come in a variety of different colors and styles. Some have feathers, some have flowers, etc. They are very stretchy so they are much more comfortable for little ones then the cotton hats/headbands.
2. Zootie Patootie Santa Rocks longsleeve onsie, with leg warmers, and hohoho hat to match. Pure cotton makes these easy to care for, plus the trendy legwarmers make diaper changing a breeze.
3. Stephen Joseph quilted purse and matching coin purse. Perfect for the little mommas. Machine washable and small enough for the little ones to carry, but wide enough opening to allow easy access to put in and take our all their little valuables. They come in a wide variety of designs including, ladybugs, butterflies, flowers and more.
4. Stephen Joseph buddy bags. These are great for many occasions. They’re just the right size for an overnight tote for little ones, for hygiene products for older kids, and as toy toting bags for travel. Terry cloth material makes for easy cleaning, and the bright fun designs are very appealing to children.
5. Stephen Joseph bottle buddies. These are super cute and fit not only water bottles, but several styles of sippy cups as well. These are great for travel and those much anticipated Spring Break and Summer vacations. They fit around the child’s neck or back of stroller, allowing access to drink at any given moment.

I have to say a Spoiled Rockin’ Gift Certificate will definitely be on the top of the list for lots of little people in Huntsville’s this year!!!
