Etsy seller ONElittleBELT sells leather belts for infants and toddlers, something you don’t see every day. Most belts for babies and toddlers are made of canvas or cheap fabric. These belts are made of full-grain brown leather and come complete with a nickel-plated buckle. Belts are available in the etsy shop for ages 6-12 months up to 12 to 36 months. This one sells for $15.

Lil Chatterbox makes felt hair clips and headbands for babies and toddlers. They are all hand stitched together, with no glue involved in the making. Made from 100% Holland wool felt, these headbands are stretchy and soft. They range in price from $10 to $12 each at Etsy.com/shop/lilchatterbox.

Kate Landers Events creates custom-made party accessories, such as these Felt Party Hats.

Here’s a neat little gadget that could benefit many moms. The Text Hook is a smartphone holder designed to fit onto the handlebars of any stroller. Invented by two moms who were tired of digging through diaper bags to find their phones, the Text Hook works with iPhones and Blackberrys. It can also strap onto the handle of a grocery cart, exercise machine, or bicycle, making it easy to find your phone on the go. You can purchase this unique accessory for $25.99 at amazon.com.

My son will turn 6 in about a month, and I think I’d like to surprise him at his birthday party by using these Colorflame Birthday Candles. Not only are the candles multi-colored, their flames are colored as well. They are non-toxic, biodegradable, and smokeless, so as not to poison the air before your child blows them out. I think he’d love them, and his friends at the party would be amazed. They’re easily worth the price of $2.99 at ThinkGeek.com.

Etsy seller prettydarncute makes these unique and beautiful baby hangers, which would make a great baby shower gift. They are custom-made to your specifications, including color, style, and image. Each hanger measures 9 3/4″ long and comes with coordinating ribbon. They sell for $12 each and are also available in custom sets.

One of my pet peeves is socks that won’t stay up. Rock-a-Thigh Baby makes thigh-high socks guaranteed to stay up on babies’ and toddlers’ legs. These give full coverage like tights, yet are convenient to put on and take off like socks. Best of all, this company makes styles for boys and girls (unlike most of these tights companies who cater to females). Available in sizes from 0-6 months to 2-4 years, you can purchase this cute Little Boy Blue style for $14 at RockAThighBaby.com.

This set of animal socks for girls made by Zooni would be a perfect baby shower (or Valentine’s Day) gift for a new mom. Socks that stay up and are stylish at the same time are hard to find, so any parent would appreciate receiving these cute accessories for their baby girl’s feet. Three pairs of socks are included in the set, which comes in sizes from newborn to age 2. They sell for $26 at Lavish.com.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, this mini hearts valentine clip from Starlet Goodies is perfect for your little valentine to wear in her hair for the holiday. Made with pink, red, and white ribbon, the clip is also adorned with glitter for a special touch. At just $4, this clip is a real steal at StarletGoodies.com.

wallcandy arts is offering these cute Monster Patrol room decals to help keep monsters at bay in your child’s room at night. Four “monster patrol” expert characters (named Radar, Buzz, Henry and Jett) have unique “weapons” to battle the monsters that keep your children up at night. This is a great, creative idea, and I’d love to hear from any parents who have tried it to see if it works. While my son is mostly over his fear of the dark, at times he still has a bit of separation anxiety at night, and these colorful, dependable characters might just do the trick at helping him (and us) sleep better at night. They sell for $26 at CleverTomato.com.

These sweet little sock from eco-friendly favorite Baby Soy are made with soybean fiber for a soft cashmere-like feel. These socks are as absorbent as cotton, and machine washable. They are pretty cute, too, and look like they would stay on better than traditional baby socks. You can purchase a pair for $3.95 at bunnyburybaby.com. Pink, brown, and white versions are also available.

Belts are an iffy prospect for little ones who are learning to use the potty, as they can get in the way of quick access. With adjustable waistbands on many brands of pants these days, you don’t see as many of them as you used to. That said, there is something awfully sweet about seeing a belt on a small child, and this Russian Doll Belt by Cakewalk is an especially cute option for a little girl. I love the cute little dolls who are lined up on this belt. You can purchase one on sale for $15.99 at zandino.com=.

This beautiful hair clip, handmade by etsy seller Wispers, looks like the perfect Valentine’s Day accessory for any little girl. It features a flower made of soft pink feathers, sequins and pearls. Even better, it’s on an alligator clip, so that it stays put in your little one’s soft, fine hair. It sells for just $6.50 at Etsy.com/wispers.

Looking for something unique for a new baby? Check out this Funkie Baby Sashimi Bib Set. I love the bright orange trim, and the Sashimi theme, while becoming more common, is still unexpected. I think this set would go over wonderfully at a baby shower. It includes an oversized bib with a Velcro closure and a “Go Mat” for changing and burping on the go. You can purchase this fun, made-in-the USA set for $39 at artebebe.com. The bib can be purchased separately for $19.

I find Haba’s hair and jewelry collection to be amazingly affordable. I bought several pieces as stocking stuffers for my older two daughters this year. I quite like this Bracelet Baronesse which features red roses on a green band. The color contrast is really striking. Kids can wear this when playing dress-up, or use itto bring a touch of color to a favorite outfit. Best of all, it is only $2.69. You can purchase one for your little one at moolka.com.
