Gifts for Little Kids: Real Favourites in Our Home

These days, my shopping list is largely for kids, which is, hands down, so much more fun than anything else. As an interior designer and mom, I want my picks to be beautiful, meaningful, and functional. Not always an easy feat. Here are the gifts I’m buying for my daughter and the little ones in my circle. True winners that me (and my friends!) genuinely stand behind:

1. Doll Dress Up Dress – for imaginative play
2. Do It Bad Book – for the perfectionist in your life
3. Pastel Double Ended Markers – any art products from the Ooly brand are 100/10
4. Doll Potty Training Accessories – cute & perfect for the younger years
5. Magnetic Dress Up Play Set – keeps my daugther busy forever
6. Calico Critters Rabbit Family – we love growing our Calico Critter family
7. Sticker Dolly Dressing Sticker Book – you can never go wrong with stickers
8. Mermaid Tail Sleeping Bag – cozy & whimsical for my mermaid loving daughter
9. The Tiny Baker Book – another 10/10 book (I’m so picky about books, this may be my all-time favourite)
