Holiday Gift Guide For The New Mama
There is no one way to be a perfect Mother, but a million ways to be a good one.
Modern Piggy
Do you know what I love more than Diet Coke??? Girl Bosses! My good friend Camille just celebrated her Bow Company's 2nd year anniversary! I'm so incredibly proud of her for chasing her dreams and navigating the competitive business world of Baby accessories. It's hard to break into, and even harder to be successful. But Camille and her business partner Becky, have surpassed all the major roadblocks most new companies encounter and have created a thriving business! You go glen coco! The bows are beautifully made and have a varied set of styles, fabrics and color palettes to choose from! Modern Piggy bows are a must for all new mommas, because lets get real, nothing is better than newborns in bows! I love to give her bows away to all my friends!
Jett & Jill
Nothing is more important to a new parent then the gift of a good nights rest. It's the one thing I always wish I could tell soon to be parents, "embrace these last few months of sleep before your little one arrives, because once they do, you'll turn into a sleep deprived zombie and nothing will ever be the same" haha. Ok thats a little dramatic, but all the mommas out there are nodding their heads with me... because its a #momtruth. Sleep is a wonderful gift and Jett & Jill are the ones to give it to you. They've created a snuggly fit swaddle cocoon that's designed to be snug around the shoulders but roomy around the babes hips and feet. They handpick the softest designer knit prints and have revolutionized the modern swaddle. No velcro's, zippers, snaps or wrapping. You simply slip it on, lay your babe down and enjoy a full nights rest. I can't imagine giving a more thoughtful, and appreciated gift than the Jett & Jill Cocoon Swaddle! Besides cocoons, they also have beautiful blankets, binky blankets, knotted beanies and headbands. They are the perfect newborn shop and I couldn't recommend them enough to ALL my mommy friends!
Dr. Brown Bottles
Ok friends, this is the best bottle brand out there! Hands down my favorite! It really helped reduce colic for both my babes and comes in cute colors like blue and pink. Yeah there’s a lot of pieces involved but trust me when I say it’s worth the extra 15 seconds of assembly to prevent another colic spit up.
Mam Pacifiers
Pacifiers are lovely, not everyone uses them but if you do Mam is where it’s at. They’ve created an orthopedic nipple that promotes good oral care at a young age. Plus the glow and the dark ones are LIFE CHANGING. That alone is the reason why I use this brand. I can't tell you how many nights I've had to search frantically for the fallen Paci, and the only peace of mind I have is when I know iv'e got an extra glow in the dark Paci in the room. I find them in 1.5 seconds, plop it in, then sneak out like a champ.
Handmade accessories for all the little loves in your life. I discovered Little Loveleigh's through Instagram, and I was so happy to comes across her shop. She hand ties, designs and creates the loveliest Bow's and Bowties for your cute little ones. I had the wonderful opportunity to work with Little Loveleighs to design a new bow collection called, The Twinkletoes Bow. Inspired by my experience with Ballet and dance, we picked out the prettiest rose gold and pink fabrics to inspire the even the smallest of babes to chase their ballerina dreams. Leigh is a beautiful and creative soul, and I felt so honored to collaborate with her on a such a special project! Go check out her shop to see her fun Holiday collection and be sure to order a special stocking stuffer for your little babes before Christmas!

Usborne Books
I love Usborne books and so do my kids! They get a new one every year for Christmas and their birthday. Pair them up with a set of Moccs and you have the perfect baby shower gift! It doesn't hurt that one of my besties is my book dealer, so I literally have unlimited access to the best in kids books! Holla! Whether your shopping for a baby, toddler, or young readers...Usborne is the best source for books! From one book nerd to another, invest in the gift of reading!
Sweet N Swag Gold Rush + Sweet N Swag Red Rover
I’ve shopped at Sweet N Swag for almost 4 years now! It’s my go to baby shower gift. The moccs come in all shapes and sizes and even have coordinating bow and bow tie suspender sets. They are affordable and cute, and 9/10 you’ll see one of my kids in their gear! But seriously though, they are a great Moccasin company and their prices can't be beat!
Fisher Price Nativity
So much of the holidays is about Santa and presents but not so much the reason for the season, the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. This Nativity is s fun way to engage your little ones and teach them about the real meaning of Christmas. It’s our first year with ours and I have big plans to use it on Christmas Eve when we talk about Christ’s birth as a family.
Gosig Golden
I think every kid needs the perfect pup doll and Ikea has nailed it. Almost every single one of Brody’s friends has one and they love playing with their puppies together. We named ours Bailey, after my parents labradoodle, and Brody sleeps with it every night. It was a great transitional comfort item especially after we got rid of his paci and blanket. I love dogs and animals, so its especially fun for me to connect with my Son when we play pups together.
The Hatching Hen
Whenever possible, support local. I happened to be up in WA when I discovered the Hatching Hen and my mommy heart did the biggest happy dance when I saw how awesome the teethers were. They have been great for my 1 year old as she went through the teething process and even better for my 4 year old who has a sensory processing disorder. Utilizing the teethers has decreased his hand biting tremendously! Cute, functional and made from safe silicone materials make this company an A+ baby shop!
