Toddlers (think ages one to three) can be a tough group to parent, but we love how excited they get about everything, including holiday gifts! We asked our contributors to share their favorite gift ideas for this age group. Enjoy!
Holiday Gift Guide For Babies
Babies can be so tough to buy gifts for. They seem to completely change every few weeks during that first year, making it hard for their toys to keep up. This gift guide has ideas for babies in their first few weeks at home up until their first birthday. Each of these items should last through at least a few months of development for the little ones in your life so they won’t just be one afternoon’s worth of fun.

Gratitude, Hidden Treasure, and Other Things That Don’t Come Easy
I happened upon a hidden gem buried deep in the Michaels’ clearance aisle: an adorable paint-your-own dinosaur art kit marked 70% off. It was the perfect little birthday gift for my friend’s dino-loving son who had just turned four, the same age as my daughter. Two years ago, my daughter attended his dinosaur-themed birthday party, and the two of them had a blast playing with a giant tub of plastic dinosaurs together. As I headed toward the checkout line with my fortuitous little find, I had an idea: I wanted my daughter to share in the joy of gift-giving, and this was the perfect opportunity.
My plan was straightforward: We would wrap the present together, and my daughter would hand him the gift during our upcoming playdate. Seemed simple enough. Of course I was aware of the potential pitfalls: my daughter also loved dinosaurs, painting, and presents. And she was a four-year-old. But nothing a little talk about gratitude and generosity wouldn’t smooth over, right? I was about to find out.
The Triumph Of A Spooky Season
And as this most festive time of the year fast approaches, I can’t help but reflect on last year’s first pandemic Halloween, and the ways in which it served as a testament to the relentlessly joy-inducing power of spooky season. It also serves as a reminder that light and levity (or a good case of the screamies) can be found even in the darkest of times.
A Lesson Learned From A Costumeless Halloween
It was Halloween 2020, the first major celebration of what was expected to be a very abnormal holiday season; thus my expectations were low.
