Gifts for Baby
Written by: TheCelebrityCafe.com Staff
Here are some of our favorite toys and gift items for that cute baby or toddler in your life.
Munchkin Products
Munchkin has developed one of the most engaging toys -- the Magic Cube. The Mozart Magic Cube allows a child to compose and arrange a variety of Mozart's works. Each side of the cube has a button for a different instrument and by pressing the buttons, you either add the instrument or take it away from your own masterpiece. The Sing with Me Magic Cube works in a similar way, but with classic songs, such as Old MacDonald and If You're Happy and You Know It. This toy is great because it will entertain your littlest ones with its music and will grow into a great interactive toy as they grow.
Excalibur My First Music Maker 6+ months
Cool man, a six note electronic piano that plays 6 classical tunes. While it was designed to hold a baby's interest with flashing lights and all, if you leave the bubble wrap on and then play it, it becomes an adult toy. The sensation of the exploding bubbles with each note makes the big kid come alive and maybe even spend some quality time with the baby. They can't talk yet, but you know they want to spend time with you! By the way, it is easy to clean with an alcohol wipe, so baby doesn't catch any bad germs, just the music bug.
Aurora Baby
The Baby Talk series are soft plush toy animal carriers with an adventure inside. My Barnyard Friends are stored in a bright red, barn shaped softcase with Duck, Rooster, Pig and Cow all waiting for the loving squeeze that will set them off in a cacophony of animal sounds. Baby smiles will be flowing. My Photo Safari is very interesting, since it comes in a soft case shaped like a 4-wheel drive safari vehicle. Inside, Tiger, Elephant, Giraffe and Hippo are sleeping for the moment. Let them out to converse with the baby. Having never heard a Giraffe or a Hippo before, I can't verify their accuracy, but since they are so cuddly, who cares? Baby Blocks are a staple and Aurora's soft blocks will rattle, crinkle and squeak themselves into your heart and into baby's hands. Four individual blocks, bright colors and funny sounds inside, when squeezed. Kind of like your old uncle after a big meal.
T.M.X. Elmo
Look in the box with the cardboard labels that look like galvanized steel. It has a bright red color, fuzzy body, distinct voice and doesn't stop laughing. Elmo has landed! Take me to your leader. I can imagine a store filled with thousands of Tickle Me Elmo dolls, all laughing at the same joke. What is that joke? And then there is a rather large mob of people trying to buy a doll for their children, waiting hours, missing meals, arguing, and yelling when the supply runs out (and it will run out), maybe it's no wonder he laughs!
Bobo Glove
A large but soft glove that has baby amusements attached to the fingers, palm and anywhere else, provides wonderment and distraction for the baby, and you know how rough their lives can be with eating, sleeping and growing. The glove is a simple and convenient way to play with the baby, and it fits in your pocket so baby cool is just a reach away.
Snack & Play Travel Tray
My compliments go to the inventor of this one. It is a practical gift to keep baby occupied during a car trip, without losing the toys, games and other amusements due to the car movement. It includes a side pocket to keep juice boxes, books, crayons and whatever else the kid needs to amuse him or herself on a long car trip. Mom and Dad can appreciate the quiet, instead of a scream, when baby drops his or her book with every bump in the road. Besides, don't you get tired of reaching behind the seat to find all the toys?
Baby Moon 5-Piece Bath Care System
Baby Moon Botanicals
We know it's not a toy, but we still thought this was a great gift idea -- Skin care for babies, designed specifically for the skin and nothing but the skin. In fact, they are formulated not to peneretrate beyond the top layer of the skin. And, since no animal testing is done on these products, all the ingredients have to be as close to organic and natural as possible. Their variety pack includes: baby wash and shampoo, restorative cream, anti-pollution serum, SPF 15 sunscreen, and the advanced diaper rash treatment.
Little Leaps Grow With Me Learning System
Being a parent is a difficult job, since you have to raise a little star consumer while teaching them the traditions of living in America: spending money, saving for a rainy day and eating chicken wings. There is a different way: Little Leaps Grow-with-Me Learning System -- DVDs that help you teach necessary, age appropriate life skills to the baby. Soft and cuddly toys come along with the DVD to help the parent maintain the child's attention to the DVD. You also need to purchase the main wireless activity controller that interacts with your DVD player. Then baby's world changes to meet with Bunbun, a yellow rabbit that helps baby develop language skills; Lulu is a blue spider that furthers the baby's mind play with cognitive concepts, and Nestor, a purple chicken, is anything but, when he goes into physical development skills. Of course, when baby gets somewhat older to the toddler stage, Sami, the orange squirrel, is waiting to introduce them to more advanced skills like Hide-and-Seek or the Bye-Bye Game.
Thermal-Aid Therapeutic Bear
It looks like a toy… The folks at Thermal-Aid have come up with an organic product, made from corn, which retains heat or cold of sufficient intensity to help most of those with aches and pains. The bear shape and various colors help a child to keep the thermal pack in place for a longer time. A view of the website shows numerous other products in the thermal storage line, some for adults and others for pets. Even pets get arthritis and need some heat relief. The concept works.
