The things I put these kids (and their Dad) through for a cute pic… but I’m always so happy to have the memories captured after the chaos is over. This was the most challenging gift guide to compile yet! The universe of baby and toddler goods is vast, and as you know I take a (very) discerning look at any product we purchase. The last thing any parent needs is more clutter, so I’ve focused this list on high-quality products with some longevity. We live in a small apartment, so I try to limit our toys to a) durable, quality toys that will last (two boys after all) and b) things I don’t mind looking at or can be stored away easily. I’ve included a few big ticket purchases here (car seat, umbrella stroller, travel crib) as Black Friday/holiday sales can be the best time to purchase these for discounts (yes!). I’ll keep this page updated with sales I find on any of the gifts included here.
