6 Delightful Gift Ideas that Newborn Babies and Toddlers will Surely Love

If you want to give something really fascinating and memorable to a newborn baby or a toddler, you can give personalized gifts; check out easy-to-make baby presents; look for some RBW items for newborn babies; find some interesting costumes and accessories for toddlers; grab some unique toys; and care for some educational toys.

Choosing gifts for newborn babies and toddlers may sound so easy, but if you want to give something really special, it might actually be really confusing. To come up with the best present, you must think of something really appealing to the senses of the baby, something that the baby or parents can use, or something that answers both. Here are delightful and colorful ideas to help you out:

Give personalized gifts

Every present you actually give shows your thoughtfulness, but personalizing your gifts add some special touch that makes them more memorable. There are endless choices for personalized baby gifts. You can think of something that the baby or toddler can actually use, such personalized tag blankets, pillowcases, hooded bath towels, bibs, caps, and even a set of these basic baby necessities. You can also give a personalized diaper bag with a custom-made bag tag or maybe think of giving a name patch that can be attached on the baby stroller. Choose colorful items or those that match the gender of the baby or the theme of the event.

Check out easy-to-make baby presents

If you love to do some artwork and give a really memorable gift, you can think of easy-to-make baby presents. You can make a really practical and creative diaper cake, sew a baby tag blanket or comforter, knit a blanket or infant cap, and make a doorknob hanger with the baby or toddler's name on it. You can also make a creative gift basket and put in all other gifts you bought for the baby. There are also other simple yet captivating toys for babies and toddlers that you can make or sew by yourself. Patterns are available online and in some magazines.

Look for some RBW items for newborn babies

Another great present you can give a baby is a toy or decor that has RBW or red, black, and white colors. The first colors that babies see are the contrasting colors of black and white, and later on, red. These colors are very attractive to babies and are very helpful in the baby's brain development. Great gifts include RBW balls, baby mobile decors, flash cards, crib decors, and even socks.

Find some interesting costumes and accessories for toddlers

Toddlers are fun to dress up, especially now that they are learning or starting to walk. Older toddlers also start to have their favorite characters. Costumes are just adorable gifts you can give them, whether boys or girls. Choose colorful costumes or ask their parents what animals or characters their toddlers love. You can also think of giving toddler shoes with attractive designs that are flexible, soft, and skid-resistant. Just make sure you know the shoe size of the baby.

Grab some unique toys

Newborn babies still cannot see clearly, but all the other senses work just great. You can give newborn babies something they can cuddle to sleep or something they can hear like musical babies. These are great gifts to soothe babies. These gifts may be very common, so make sure you choose a unique design.

Toddlers on the other hand, already love to explore with all their senses. They already respond to those who play with them. It is just great to give them unique toys that stimulate their senses, such as plush toys that giggle, laugh, and sing songs when pressed; animal toys that make silly sounds; crawling caterpillars; and vibrating or shaking animals. Musical bump-and-go toys are also fun for toddlers. You can also give play-pretend toys for older toddlers.

Care for some educational toys

Does the word education sound boring to you? It does, but if you put the word "toy" on it, it would be much interesting. Toddlers love to play and parents love to educate their kids. This is the best combination you can give to toddlers. A lot of educational toys are available in the market. Just make sure that these toys are appropriate for the child's age. Do not buy an educational toy for kids aged five and up for an 18-month-old toddler. Great educational toys for toddlers include wood puzzles, shape sorters, soft blocks, and stacking toys.

Giving a memorable and enjoyable gift to a newborn baby or a toddler need not be expensive. Just be creative and make do with your resources, especially your budget. Most importantly, give with much thoughtfulness. Give from your heart and your gift will always be loved.

Congratulations to the winner of the Interactive Family Advent Calendar Giveaway. And the winner is #25, Julie T. You have won your own Interactive Family Advent Calendar from Growing Great Families. I will be sending you an e-mail shortly. I used random.org to determine the winner.

The advent calendar is designed to inspire and motivate. The ‘heart’ of this calendar is the daily story. Some days the story may be very inspirational to your kids (whatever their age), other days the message may ring home for you; the parent or guardian. The point is, it will get you talking, and talking about subjects that probably don’t come up in normal, everyday conversations. It will give you a reason to stop the crazy bustle of the season and reflect. Reflect on those things that REALLY matter. Hopefully it will inspire your family to focus on those things that matter more often, and in a more proactive manner. We can’t promise this advent calendar will change the world, but we do hope it helps to change YOUR world.

You can purchase these advent calendars at the Growing Great Families website.

Thank-you everyone for entering this giveaway on Mom's Misc. Adventures.

The Best Time for Bilingual Education- Early Childhood Learning

Of course, nobody knows what the future will hold – but if current trends continue, your child will grow up to enter a workforce in which the competition for decent-paying jobs will be nothing short of cut-throat. Despite the calls for greater co-operation and "interdependence," human nature being what it is, it's a good bet that the economy of the the future will operate according to the Law of the Jungle. It goes without saying that a good education is one of the best ways to prepare that child for survival in that economic jungle of the future.

The Bilingual Future

One of the future trends that has become certain is the existence of a diverse, global society. Nowhere is this more true than in the United States. Almost from the beginning, the U.S. has been a land of immigrants, and while the "melting pot" has been an interesting theory, it has not happened in practice. On the contrary, most major U.S. population centers have become more of an ethnic and linguistic checkerboard; Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese and Chinese speakers represent some of the fastest-growing segments of the immigrant U.S. population.

In addition, with the rise of China, English may very well lose its preeminence as the international language of business; at best, it will have to share that top status with Mandarin in decades to come.

Getting Ready

Traditional wisdom has been to start teaching a second language in middle school, or even high school. Yet numerous research studies clearly demonstrate that the optimal period in a child's life for multilingual education is during the preschool years – at exactly the same time they are learning their first language. Yes, it is possible to learn a second and third language later in life, but it is more difficult, because that neurological "window of opportunity" – when the brain is most malleable – has passed.

According to Dr. Fred Genessee, Professor of Psychology at McGill University in Montreal, it's as easy for young children to learn two or three languages as it is for them to learn one. He's not alone; educators throughout the world (in countries that often have two or even three official languages) have understood this for decades.

The way a child learns a second language is by actually speaking it in a total immersion environment. You may recall an episode of the animated series The Simpson's in which young Bart gets trapped on a farm in France – and by the end of the episode, finds he's actually speaking the language. While this was a fictional scenario, the phenomenon is real; anyone who has taken young children abroad to stay with relatives in a foreign country for any length of time has observed this happening.

Enrollment in a preschool program that offers immersion in other languages is the best way to get your child started. This investment will make him/her much more competitive in the job market later on.

Savvycents Wallet Review and Giveaway


This is a review and giveaway for the Savvycents wallet. I absolutely love this wallet. Savvycents is giving one of my readers a wallet of their very own.

The Savvycents wallet is not only functional but also fashionable. It contains everything you need to organize your monthly or weekly budget using a cash system. With an accordion style file system inside the wallet you can separate money, coupons, receipts or store discount cards by categories. Your wallet comes with file cards where you can label each category with our pre-printed labels. There are also blank labels where you can customize your wallet based on your personal categories. You no longer have to carry envelopes or zip lock bags to separate your money and coupons. Your change will fit nicely in a coin pocket located on the backside of the wallet. It also has 6 pockets for debit cards and store discount cards. On the opposite side there is a place for your driver’s license and a place for your checkbook. The wallet size is 8” x 4”. The wallet comes in black, pink and red.


I was so excited to see this wallet online. I needed a new wallet. My old wallet's change pocket zipper was broke and I kept taking the wallet out of my purse to get to everything else that was in my purse. My old wallet was bulky and and took up allot of room in my purse. The savvycents wallet is half the size in depth and takes up allot less space in my purse and it is so much lighter. I love the dividers for putting in my coupons and keeping them organized. The change pocket is on the outside for easy access. All my credit cards fit nicely in the wallet and I love that it has two places for id cards. I love the look of the savvycents wallet. I love, love, love this wallet, I highly recommend it. I give the savvycents wallet 5 stars out of 5.

You can purchase the Savvycents on their website and also find out where you can buy it at.
