Gift ideas for those homemaker moms 🥹
16 items
Do you know someone who’s ingredient based and loves to cook/bake? Here’s some great ideas that will make them feel cozy on the inside. Being an ingredient based home, all of these things would be used weekly if not daily which is why they make the best gifts. 🥰

Tonie box kid ratings 🤪🤌🏽
14 items
Our home is mostly screen free and the tonie box has been our best investment. He got it for Christmas when he was 2.5. Every holiday he normally gets a new tonie (Easter basket, boo basket, stocking stuffer, birthday). I LOVE how these can grow with his changes. Our daughter is almost 11 months and she’s already learned how to use it herself. She picks her own tonie out & puts it on. I can’t wait for her to get her own and girly tonies 🥹 so worth the investment 🫶🏼

Stocking stuffers that aren’t a waste of money
13 items
Just like Easter baskets there can be so much little junk that gets thrown out a week later. We only get meaningful toys that can be played with. (And candy)

What’s in your boo basket? 🎃
26 items
I love a good boo basket. This year I get to make two, one for a 3 year old and one for a 9 month old. 🥰 most of this comes in bulk so I only get one or two things a year and reuse from the prior year. We also gift a boo basket to his little friend 🥰🎃

Toddler items that are worth the investment ✨

Natural fiber blankets/throws (no polyester/plastic)
9 items
When you wash polyester throws, they release tiny plastic fibers (microplastics) into the water, which then pollute our oceans and food chains. Plus Polyester is a plastic made from petroleum, and it does not biodegrade. Reduce the levels in your home by swapping to natural fiber throws 🫶🏼
