Velvet Verbosity’s Holiday Gift Guide for Wee Ones

No one enjoys the holidays like the wee ones! The way their eyes light up when they open a gift makes all the shopping worthwhile. Don’t spoil the wee ones in your life with too many flashy gadgets or noisy toys. Let the simple gifts shine so that this generation can have the same warm memories of generations past. Velvet Verbosity’s Holiday Gift Guide for Wee Ones focuses on the simple, the beautiful, and the engaging.

This Newborn – Red Pixie Cap ($24) is the epitome of cute, bordering on the devilishly cute.

From Etsy seller shescrafty. Order now, there’s only ONE!

If there’s anything cuter than pixie hats, it’s penguins.

Come on, penguin daddies suffer bitter cold and harsh winds to

protect their one precious offspring and they come

dressed to impress every day!

This little fella is safe for newborns and safe for your wallet at $16.

I’ve always been a fan of the Waldorf style dolls.

I can imagine I would have adored one or two of these

sweet little Wee Pocket Babies ($7.50) when I was a girl.

Each doll is custom made to order by germandolls of Etsy.

If this Tall Bear ($35) with his big ears, and tiny little smile doesn’t

make you grin, I don’t know what will!

Each one is handmade from “new and vintage”

fabrics by whileshenaps, another Etsy crafter.

(Are you noticing a trend here? I love Etsy!)

If you didn’t like the hip Tall Bear, you probably prefer these

more traditional stuffed critters from The Land of Nod.

Even my 15 year old loves these guys.

$12-$24

The great thing about hats and mittens like these

is that young kids will love them because,

“OMG, I can wear a monkey on my head” and older kids

will love them, well, because, older kids are just so

cool they know where it’s at!

These sets are from Garnet Hill with a price range from

$24 – $50

Finally, a bright take on some classic games.

Make 5 is a two-player game for 8 and up.

Travel sack and self-contained makes it great even for the car.

$20
