Buying gifts for babies is hard.  Some may say, why even bother?   Don't be a grinch lol!  I thought long and hard and came up with some gifts that I think will be both functional and enjoyable for my 15 month old.  Check out my picks below.

1.  Dr. Martens Infant 1460 Patent
Price: $50
​www.drmartens.com/us/en/p/15933002

I bought these patent leather boots for my baby girl (15 months), because I thought they were the perfect "bad ass" accessory for my little bad ass (see what I did there? lmao).  Seriously though, I love the versatility of these boots.  The patent leather makes them sort of dressy, so she can sport them with opaque tights and a dress.  Another day, she may wear them with jeans.  The best part? I can buy myself a matching pair ; )

Trust me, I'm trying to get in as much "Mommy and Me" action as I can before she wants nothing to do with me lol.

2.  VTech KidiBeats Drum Set, Pink
Price: $19.62
​www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HP1CW76/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

​
A drum set.  For an extremely active toddler who likes to beat on things already. That's a really great idea, right?  You know what, forget I mentioned it lol.

3.  Wee Baby Stella Customized Doll
Price: $37
​www.manhattantoy.com/products/create-your-own-wee-baby-stella-doll?_pos=11&_sid=bcfe98974&_ss=r&variant=12606471077973

My daughter has another version of Wee Baby Stella and loves her! She's super soft and has an attachable, magnetic pacifier (doesn't seem to be a choking hazard, but if you're cautious like me, just remove the pacifier and put it somewhere for safe keeping).  This Wee Baby Stella is customizable! You can choose her skin tone, hairstyle and select multiple outfits.  One additional outfit is included in the price.  Additional outfits are $14.  My favorite thing about Wee Baby Stella is that I can throw her in the washing machine when she gets dirty.  Your tot will love her.

4. Copper Pearl Jolly Baby Bandana Bibs (Set of 4)
Price: $19.95 40% off Christmas Prints with Code CPHOLIDAY40 
​www.copperpearl.com/collections/bibs/products/baby-bandana-bibs-jolly

I have loved these bibs from the moment I welcomed my daughter into this world.  They are super soft and I love how they can give a basic outfit an instant fashion boost.  I ordered these just in time for Christmas and to use the coupon code listed above.  Double win.

5.  Adidas LZ SST Track Suit
Price: $39
​www.adidas.com/us/lz-sst-track-suit/FM9992.html
​
It's a leopard track suit.  For a toddler.  What else needs to be said?

The cutest little book for the glam baby/toddler in your life.  This book is a twist on the traditional "Mary Had a Little Lamb". The artwork is sure to be  visually pleasing to your little one as well.  I love it!

What gifts are on your toddler's Christmas gift? Let me know in the comments!

Christmas is here in 8 days!!! Some of you have already finished but may be trying to decide what you want for yourself (#treatyoself is my motto and not just for the holidays lol) or maybe you haven't even started shopping at all. Either way,  I have created a short guide of items that any person in your life who is a lover of beauty and/or fashion will love.  Let's get into it!

1.  Brahmin Faith Ivory Calypso Bag
Price: $325.00
brahmin.com

I've pretty much been indifferent when it comes to Brahmin bags, but the uniqueness of this one drew me in.  I love the iridescent finish and the fact that this bag can be worn as a cross body.  Wear it on your wrist with a chic outfit and this bag screams day trip to Nola with a side of bottomless mimosas.  She's not an everyday bag, just a fun one.  I love it.  

​

2.  Tarte Merry Metals Brush Set
Price: $35
Sephora.com

A full set of pretty rose gold brushes for $35???!  Need I say more?

3. 2020 Deluxe Classic Happy Planner Confetti Glam Girl
Price: $25.99
thehappyplanner.com/collections/happy-planners/products/hpg-mdsc-cls-dlx-glam-girl-confetti20-dtl12

Get your life in order this year with this super fun planner.  I've had a happy planner since 2017 and the name "Happy Planner" is not an understatement.  The fun designs and various accessories make planning your future fun! Happy Planners and accessories can also be found at Hobby Lobby and Michaels.  I have even seen them at Walmart occasionally.

4.  YSL Libre Eau De Parfum-Yves Saint Laurent
Price: $104 (1.7 oz)
www.sephora.com/product/libre-eau-de-parfum-P448102?icid2=products%20grid:p448102:product

Every Christmas, I love to collect a new scent for the year.  I'm interested in scents that have clean, but floral scents.  One of my favorites was the Miss Dior Eau...now discontinued =(.  This fragrance gives me similar vibes!

5.  Tony Bianco "Freddie" Bootie
Price:$139
www.revolve.com/tony-bianco-freddie-bootie/dp/TONR-WZ76/?d=Womens&page=1&lc=1&itrownum=1&itcurrpage=1&itview=01

White boots have been all the rage this season and I am obsessed with this pair.  These booties are made of a buttery, soft, white leather that is sure to turn heads.  Pair them with your favorite skinny jeans, romper or mini dress.  Life is short, buy the shoes!

6. Glamcor Multimedia X Light-Phone Clip Included
Price: $314.50 SALE!
Glamcor.com

This is for the beauty blogger in your life.  I used this light last weekend for my makeup class and it was OUTSTANDING.  The light gives you the option to adjust the warmth and/or coolness, as well as dim and brighten.  Get this, it has a remote control!!! There's also a phone clip included to attach your phone if you want to take your selfies to the next level.  If you are an MUA, I highly recommend this light.  I have a had a ring light for years and it gets the job donebut this light truly gives me a brighter and less harsh light for applying makeup on others or myself.  Your photos will look amazing and you can attach your camera to it for filming purposes. It also comes with a super convenient carrying case for traveling purposes.  Definitely worth the splurge!
