Are you still looking for those last minute gift ideas? Well you still have time and the Professor of Giftology has a ton of ideas for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you are shopping for a mom or dad, child, teacher or a doctor. There’s a list for everyone. But today she’s inviting you to take a peek at what to get the baby at the last minute.
Last-Minute Gift Ideas for Baby
Most people have at least one baby on their holiday gift list and, let’s face it, most babies don’t need yet another cute outfit, chew toy, or educational gizmo disguised as a rattle–not when what they really seem to want is to gnaw on a cardboard box. Here are some fun ideas for the little people in your life. All items should arrive by December 24 if you order by December 18.
I really love this “Grinch” bib ($12.95, Amazon.com). Add a copy of the book that inspired the bib, and you’ve got a fun, coordinated gift package. (The book is War and Peace, natch. No, no. It’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Helped Stella Get Her Groove Back. Or something like that.)
Yellow Label Kids has a great collection of four knitted cupcakes. They’re bright and soft, and these pseudo-snacks will stick with a little girl as she evolves from a baby (who will throw them) to a little lady (who will serve them at her first tea party). $31.99 from Oompa.
Sing your baby to sleep with Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of the Rolling Stones($13.99, Amazon). Also available: Lullaby renditions of The Beatles, U2, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, The Eagles, Bob Marley, Coldplay, and more. No, seriously.
These adorable Baberoo Organic Cotton Socks ($12.55-$13.99, Amazon) come in a variety of styles, including ballet slipper and nautical stripe.
And for those grandparents who really want to spoil the baby, Le Sac Baby Igloo 500 ($116-$136 based on size, Land Of Nod). Cozy insulated fleece sac keeps baby warm and cozy, while you brave the wind and the cold and the rain. Babies have it goooood.
