Amolia Mae sells these beautiful Powell Craft brand handcrafted, embroidered pajamas for boys. Along with that, they sell teddy bears wearing matching pajamas. What could delight a little boy more? My almost six-year-old was recently treated to a sample pair of pajamas and teddy bear from Amolia Mae. It arrived at the perfect time, while he was quarantined inside our house with strep throat during the Blizzard of 2010. The pajamas are long-sleeve, beautiful 100% fine cotton, and arrive in an Organza case. The matching teddy bear is darling as well. My son has a friend now to take to bed every night (and a favorite pair of pajamas as well!) You can purchase these for your own child, at a price of $42 for the pajamas and about $20 for the bear, at AmoliaMae.com.

Here’s a holiday gift sure to please baby and parents: You can purchase a 19″ tall designer Bibsy Bear, wearing a “Worth the Weight” Hug-a-Bib, along with a Clippy Cloth, for the special price of $30 at HugABib.com. The Hug-a-Bib has a 100% woven cotton interlock front and a 100% cotton corduroy back, with a soft inner lining surrounding an inner waterproof layer. The bib measures 9” x 11” . Clippy Cloth is made of 100% cotton interlock front & back, with a soft inner lining surrounding an inner waterproof layer. With a 100% Copper rust-proof clip, it measures 12” x 29”. What more could you ask for: a cute stuffed bear, large bib providing extra protection, and large, absorbent burp cloth! The price is normally $58, but on sale for the holiday season for just $30.

This gift set is so cute and cuddly it’s almost irresistible. The Pig in a Blanket Gift Set by Baby Aspen includes a 14″ tall plush pig, and a soft, 31″ x 40″ blanket with satin trim. Both come packaged in a gift box which has an open book on the back with the “This Little Piggy” nursery rhyme. At a price of $35, this is the perfect set for a baby shower or holiday gift.

This Crimson Bear by Eco-Babies is made of recycled, organic materials. All of Eco-Babies’ stuffed animals are made with 95% recycled materials, including the stuffing. The Crimson Bear, for example, was once a window valance, and now is a soft, cuddly friend, perfect for your little one. While the company just sells bears right now, more items are planned in the future. You can view the current offerings at Eco-Babies.net, where this Crimson Bear sells for $26.99. He would make a great holiday gift.

One look at this handmade plush Sleepy Bunny by Auntie Jill makes you want to crawl into bed and curl up with the cute little rabbit yourself. Made of soft minky fabric, Sleepy Bunny can also be personalized with a child’s name on one of the rabbit’s satin-lined ears. Available in denim blue, light pink, and golden brown, the bunny sits 14″ tall. It reminds me of the classic children’s story The Velveteen Rabbit. You can purchase this hand-sewn Sleepy Bunny to become your child’s bedtime pal at AuntieJillShop.com, where it sells for $45. It would make a great gift for a little one.

Hitch & Bundle, a new online shop from Blakely Ink, has created a cool Gift Bucket that you can truly personalize to the recipient’s tastes. First, you can choose a onesie or t-shirt from a variety of their sassy choices (including “authentic nyc baby,” “i have cheap and reliable gas,” and “tiny but mighty”). Then your choice will be bundled with two stuffed animals, or a blanket and a stuffed animal if you prefer, into a bucket, ready for gift-giving. The bucket can even have a name hand-painted onto it for an extra $10. You can order one of these unique gift buckets at HitchandBundle.com, where they sell for $36.

Here is a hip toy that is sure to bring a smile from kids and parents alike. Safe from birth up, Ze Super Zeros Zebu the Zebra is quirky and fun. I love his contrasting patterns and colors, and the little removable superhero cape is extra sweet. He stands nine inches tall, and will no doubt inspire some great adventures for your child. You can purchase one for $29.99 at sbkidsco.com. Several other friends are available as well.

Wonder Pets is one of the few toddler television shows that I can stand at the moment. My three year old loves it, and we love the way she sings the show’s theme song. So, when I was browsing our bookstore recently and came across these adorable Ty Beanie Babies, I had to nab one. I bought Linny the Guinea Pig because she is my favorite, but they are all pretty cute. This picture doesn’t do them justice–they are actually much cuter in person. My daughter loves hers. You can purchase them for $5.99 each at toywiz.com.

I really love the cute, homemade looking animals from Color Zoo. I was surprised recently to have one come up in a search at target.com. I had no idea that they sold these toys. I used to collect penguins as a child, and my girls are very interested in them right now thanks to recent films and Disney’s Club Penguin. Paige the penguin, however, is much cuter than any Disney toy (although she isn’t immediately identifiable as a penguin, I must say). I love her bright yellow color, and the print is a throwback to the 1970s. This is the kind of toy I love to line the shelves with in our nursery. She retails for $19.99 at Target, which is cheaper than I have seen these toys elsewhere. Check her out at Target.com.

This looks like an ordinary, everyday teddy bear - but wait, looks can be deceiving. It’s actually an MP3 player designed specifically for babies and children. Designed to accompany your child to crib or bed at naptime or bedtime, the Lulla-Bear is a soft, cuddly friend who plays 90 minutes of pre-loaded songs and sounds. Lullabies, nature sounds, and play songs are all part of Lulla-Bear’s repertoire. With Lulla-Bear’s built in, stored USB cable, you can connect him to your computer and upload more songs to his playlist. It has a 512 MB memory capacity, is PC and MAC compatible, and takes three AA batteries (included). The sound quality is excellent, too. This could be the perfect solution if your child is a reluctant napper or becomes fearful or anxious at bedtime. Music soothes the soul, and has often helped my son get to sleep when nothing else would. You can purchase Lulla-Bear for $49.95 at StoreCrowleyJones.com.

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.

Here’s the perfect baby shower gift for an environmentally-conscious mom: an Eco Friendly Diaper Cake. Made by Diaper Cakewalk, this diaper cake features 40 Seventh Generation chlorine-free disposable diapers in size 1, Burt’s Bees all natural luxury baby care products, and an elephant made from all-natural cotton and colored with vegetable dye. It’s a useful, practical, and earth-friendly gift. The diaper cake comes in two sizes: three tiers (containing 40-45 diapers) for $79 or four tiers (containing 70-75 diapers) for $109. You can view and purchase this great gift at DiaperCakewalk.com.

Jellycat is known for its adorable, high-quality stuffed animals. Suri Cruise has recently been photographed with a whole collection of these cuties. Piper the Mouse is one of my personal favorites, probably because he reminds me of a favorite toy from my own childhood. This cuddly friend is 15 in tall and retails for $24.99. He makes a perfect nap-time companion. You can purchase one at Oompa.com.

Though I’ve not liked certain Steiff dolls before, I am quite enamored with the Steiff Cosy Friends Dalle Guinea Pig. It’s fluffy, cute, and huggable. 7 inches long and cute as a button, this furry little friend might just be a child’s next favorite. Though it’s a bit pricy for a stuffed toy at $20, it’s not outrageous and could make a great gift (birthday, baptism, etc.) Several of the other fuzzy Steiff creatures at AgapeBears.com are hard to pass up as well.

If you are looking for a truly original nursery or bedroom decoration, check out Cyril the Squirrel-Fox by Donna Wilson. This little guy caught my eye while I was looking for something else entirely. I love the unique look of this soft knit toy. He would look great in a child’s room, and will make a great companion as well. You will pay a hefty price for this high-quality item, however. You can purchase one for $112 at roseandradish.com.
