Not having kids myself means shopping for my friends and families children is that much more fun. There is nothing more fun then finding the perfect gift and shipping it away to a little one with their name on the package. I loved receiving mail as a kid so I can only assume that between Baby Shark and Fortnight today’s children still love getting mail addressed directly to them.
I’ve picked a few of my favorite gifts for this holiday season to help inspire anyone who needs tips for buying the perfect gifts for their friends kiddos!
Kids Shoes from Pediped
When it comes to shopping for kids, you try to strike a balance between giving something practical and giving something the kid will actually love. Cool kids shoes are the perfect combination of something that kids need and will enjoy at the same time. Pediped is an award winning children’s’ footwear brand with the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance for the promotion of healthy foot development. Their styles are colorful and comfortable, whether you choose sneakers, boots, sandals, or dressy styles.
Pediped designs shoes that kids and parents love. Kids love the styles and comfort and parents love knowing that their child’s growing feet are properly supported. Let the little one of your shopping list run and play all day by giving them some new kicks from Pediped. If you have a pink loving little girl to shop for, get her the Flex Force sneakers in Hot Pink. These shoes are girly and adorable but lightweight and will let any girl play hard all day long. Shoes can get messy but the Flex Force are machine washable, made with Vegan materials. They go on easy with velcro closures and will fit better than any shoe on the market thanks to Pediped’s Flex Fit System removable inserts.
The Flex Barbara from Pediped is a sweet mary jane style shoe that feels like an athletic shoe. Little girls don’t need uncomfortable dress shoes that give them blisters. With a flexible rubber sole and breathable lining, she won’t miss a beat. The Flex Barbara is designed for real life but looks amazing with dresses, skirts, leggings, or pants. Shown here in the Tan Sparkle, these shoes are neutral so she can wear them with all her outfits and won’t be slowed down at all. These shoes will look beautiful with a Christmas outfit!
If you aren’t sure on sizing, you can always buy a Pediped gift card and wrap it up in a cute box with some fun socks. Pediped is a gift you can feel good about giving. With over 150 designs for babies, toddlers, and kids, there is sure to be the perfect pair (or two) of shoes for every kid on your list.

MAM Baby Gift Set
For friends with little ones at home that first holiday season is both exciting and stressful. While they are juggling finding a routine and creating family traditions, gifts that can be really helpful are the best options. I’m always the person who buys the most ‘functional’ item on a baby registry and come towards the holiday season those useful things are even more necessary.
For friends with young babies at home the Feed and Soothe Gift set is one of my go to gifts for both the holiday season and baby showers. MAM is known for their anti-colic bottles and this set has 4 bottles in 2 sizes, perfect for replenishing their stock as baby grows. With a vented base these bottles regulate pressure to ensure babies do not take in any excess air while feeding.
For many newborns, pacifiers are a godsend, but keeping track of them can become a stressful experience. With two MAM pacifiers in this set you are helping make sure new parents have everything they need close at hand.

Covered Goods Nursing Cover
For infants Christmas is a time of bright lights and crinkling paper. Giving them a gift is not nearly as important as giving mom one that will make her life easier. Thats why I love Covered Goods as a gift option for little ones. The original multi-use nursing cover, Covered Goods is both a gift for mom AND baby. Manufactured in the USA, these versatile covers can be used as an infinity scarf for mom, a car seat cover, a shopping cart cover for bigger babies AND as an over head nursing cover.
When used as a carseat cover babies sleep more soundly and can relax from the world around them. This is perfect for a girls brunch while baby naps!
Made from a soft and stretchy material, these covers are soft on both mom and babies skin. Each cover is constructed from a high-quality rayon making them lightweight enough for everyday use while being completely opaque at the same time. Each cover is fully machine washable meaning no matter what messes happen throughout the day, mom can toss it in the washer with the rest of babies clothing and be fresh and ready again in minutes.
