Every child should have the Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit books in their collection. Those stories were among my favorites as a child. This Classic Peter Rabbit Puzzle, Toy, and Book Set by Cricket would make a wonderful gift for any child, and is a great way to introduce him or her to the world of Peter Rabbit. The set includes a Peter Rabbit board book, lightweight blocks that can be combined to make six different puzzles, and a 13 inch plush Peter Rabbit toy. This would be the perfect new baby gift as well. You can purchase this set for $39.99 at Cricketmag.com.

It was around the time that my 4 1/2 year old son became a toddler/preschooler that he started strongly identifying with Daddy much more than before. He wants to do everything Daddy does, talk like Daddy talks, and wear what Daddy wears. My husband loves to wear Timberland boots in the colder weather, which is why I think my son would adore these Classic Toddler Field Boots by Timberland. Just like Timberland’s adult boots, these toddler boots feature extra-soft leather and a lightweight, padded sole. They have a lace closure, and the Timberland logo embroidered on the sides, along with the Timberland tread pattern on the soles.

These boots are available in toddler size 10 at Drjays.com for $45.

I’ve always been partial to animal slippers on children’s feet. They are just so cute and cuddly, and when kids are young, parents can get away with dressing them that way. These Classic Bunny Slippers by Runaway Rabbit are the essence of cuteness. They should be comfortable as well, as the bunny’s body is made of fluffy acrylic and the footbed is soft polyester terry, with a cushioned sole shaped like a bunny footprint. What’s more, this bunny is like a stuffed animal, in that you can pose his ears, brush his soft bunny tail, and ooh and ahh at his button eyes and realistic-looking whiskers.

These Bunny Slippers come in sizes XS (children’s shoe size 7-8) up to XL (youth shoe size 3 to 4). The manufacturer recommends buying these slippers a size larger than your child’s normal shoe size. Imagine the delight on your child’s face when he wakes up on Christmas morning to see this gift under the tree! You can buy Runaway Rabbit Classic Bunny Slippers (which are also available in adult sizes) for $24.99 at RunawayRabbit.com.

Although I have been getting a bit bored with all of the plaid holiday dresses that flood the market this time of year, this sweet little dress from Pottery Barn Kids caught my attention.  I think what makes this Collared Plaid Classic Dress stand out over many others like it is the adorable, crisp white color.  I love the Peter Pan style, and it really stands out against the dark plaid.

The dress is made from a cotton wool blend that is made to feel as soft as flannel.  It comes with matching bloomers, and buttons down the back for easy changes.  You can choose from either a red or a green version.  I personally am drawn to the green one. You can purchase one for $58 at PotteryBarnKids.com.  For an additional $6.50, you can have it personalized.  It comes in sizes from 0-3 to 18-24 months.

The Vans Kids Classic Slip-On Set - Infant features a onesie and a pair of Vans Classic Slip-On shoes. I like this style for Halloween: the Baby Skull Bow/Black Pin. The contrasting black and white colors with the touch of pink would be perfect for a baby girl. It comes in infant sizes 1 through 4.  If you want to dress your baby this Halloween but don’t want an elaborate costume, add a pair of jeans to this set and she’ll be ready for whatever festivities you have planned.

The classic slip-ons feature a canvas upper and elastic gore sides, making the shoes easy to slip on and off. The set sells for just $26 at Zappos.com. Order yours now if you want your baby to wear it this Halloween!
