These slip on Me in Mind Checker Black/White Shoes are great for little ones. The elastic collar will keep these shoes from slipping off your active child, and you won’t have to be watching for untied laces that can cause an accident. I always look for comfort and practicality when buying clothing and shoes for my children. But these checkered slip-ons are also fun.

You can view these Me in Mind shoes at babylaundryboutique.com. They are available in sizes 3-6mos, 6-12mos, 12-18mos, and 18-24 mos, and are priced at $24.00. Gift wrapping is also available for an additional cost.

What little boy wouldn’t want this Pirate Treasure Chest by Posh Tots in his room? It’s designed with safety measures to prevent little fingers from being pinched (or worse). The Pirate Treasure Chest has a supportive lid and cut-outs to prevent this from happening. On the inside, there’s plenty of room for his favorite toys and dividers to help keep things in order.

The dimensions of this chest are 32.5″L x 20″H x 20″W. You can view this item up close at poshtots.com and purchase it for $168.

This is a charming and sweet gift from mother to daughter. This Butterfly Make a Wish Necklace by Dogeared Daughter is a gold dipped butterfly on pink silk thread. The idea is that when the necklace wears off, your daughter’s wish will come true. The packaging also includes a message about Karma: “What goes around, comes around, wear your necklace as a reminder to keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving.”

This would be an appropriate birthday gift from a mother to a daughter of any age. Confidences and secrets between mothers and daughters are so special and so fleeting. Make the most of those special moments with your daughter before they become too “grown-up.”

You can view this item at babylaundryboutique.com, where it is priced at $30.00. Gift wrapping is available at an additional cost.

You’ll have fun putting your gift basket together, especially when you’re adding such an elegant bath set for baby.
