There are a lot of neat items inside this Suitcase Gift Set by Wooden Toys, but I would purchase it just for the case. It has a vintage look that is reminiscent of the days my parents took me and my siblings to the “Greatest Show on Earth” - the circus.

This four-piece set includes a yellow snap-suit onesie with a vintage elephant design, a yellow cap with a wooden block design, a matching thermal cotton blanket (30″ x 38″), and a white baby tee with a wooden horse design. The set comes in sizes Newborn 0-3 months, Small 3-6 months, and Medium/Large 6-12months.

The travel stickers that come on the suitcase can be personalized with baby’s name. How cute. I want one and I can buy one (and so can you) for $60 at poshtots.com.

You might have to spend a little time convincing your child that it really is ok to color on the Draw On Me Cushions Elephant by Zid Zid Kids. Your child can use washable or permanent markers, tempera paints, buttons, ribbons, bells, and fabric scraps or whatever else she can think of. It’s a fun way to encourage your child to express her creativity. There is no “right” way to decorate this project. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

This pillow is handmade with 100% soft cotton flannel and 100% polyfilled and is washable. The elephant is adorned with vintage buttons. It measures 8 x 11 inches (21 x 26 cm) and is recommended for ages 3 years and up.

Like most 12 month olds, my son is obsessed with animals. This adorable elephant is one of his favorite toys - a big and very soft stuffed elephant, a comfy rocker and a wide-wheeled ride-on. It converts from a rocker to a ride-on in seconds. And, if your baby is a pet lover like mine, he’ll drag the elephant around your house by its trunk!

The elephant stands 25.6 inches high. You can purchase Vilac’s elephant ride-on at Apricot & Ivy for $125. This a great gift for 12 months plus.

Elephants have been a favorite topic in many fable stories around the world. From little “Dumbo” to the real-life stories of elephants in the wild and in captivity, elephants seem to inspire a sense of wonder and awe in us humans.

This Elephant Parade Hat by Zutano is colorful and fun. If you’re giving this as a gift for a toddler, why not include a storybook with an elephant theme? There are also several real-life stories about elephants, for example, “Big Ears: The Story of Ely,” by Cynthia Moss. It’s the story of a baby elephant that had to struggle to rise onto his feet because he was born with crippled front legs. The story follows the baby elephants inspirational struggle and ultimate victory over its hardship. A good and important lesson that our children can learn at any age. Perhaps in some small way, the little Elephant Hat will be a reminder for your child when things don’t seem to be going his own way.

The hat comes in sizes 0-6mos, 6-12mos, 12-18mos, 18-24mos. and is made of cotton knit. You can purchase it for $9 at mylittleducks.com.
