Like a sale but still want something special? The Alimrose Pink Floppy Monkey Doll caught my eye immediately when I clicked on the sale items at bellydancebaby.com. Plush and pretty and just original enough to stand out, this happy monkey is on sale for $30 ($14 savings.)  I like it for a new baby gift to go along with a sweet soft blanket or a basket of toys and sleepers.  I can’t see this floppy monkey being a flop with any child.

Still holding out for something a little less costly? Check out Tavitts.com for Ty 10” Baby Dangles Pink Monkey. Super cute, pink, and fluffy, just like the Alimrose version, but at a fraction of the cost for $6.95. At our house, we think Ty stuffies are soft and huggable and just the right price.

If you are looking for some cute-as-can-be baby toys that aren’t made out of plastic, you will love Alimrose.  These toys are some of the sweetest rattles and squeakers that I have seen.  I am in love with this Japanese Doll Squeaker, which will make a perfect first friend for your baby.  She features a “body” of Japanese-inspired fabric, and has a cute little face and two buns in her hair.

Babies will love to explore this little doll with their hands and mouths.  The pleasant squeaking sound will delight them further.  Although she won’t be old enough to enjoy her first Christmas, I know I’ll be buying a few gifts for our baby, and this is likely going to be one of them.  You can purchase one for your own little one for $22.95 at Cute-ture.com.  While you are there, you can also check out the entire line of products from Alimrose Designs.

Just looking at this Chenille Bunny Doll by Alimrose makes me want to touch and hug it. And that’s exactly what your little one will do. Young children are especially tactile. They receive so much information about their environment by touch.

You can cut down on all the wear and tear on your personal items that interest your little explorer by giving them this little bunny doll with chenille accents. It makes a perfect bedtime pal too.  It is priced at $44 at BellyDanceBaby.com.
