Holiday Gift Guide

Elegant Baby Cable Knit Sweater// Rainforest Jumperoo// BabyLit A Christmas Carol// DADA by Jimmy Fallon// B Squeeze Soft Blocks// Lamaze Captain Calamari// Hanna Jams Onesie

The gifts above are all on GBB’s Christmas Wish List! I can just see him bouncing in that jumperoo beside the Christmas tree while I relax and sip on some hot chocolate/coffee + baileys/eggnog/wine/any bevvy really. Oh, and not pictured are a few dozen Aden + Anais swaddles in their new jewel tones (Hi, my name is Holly and I am a swaddle addict.) and a high chair (we like the wood IKEA one best!) because it’s almost time for GBB to enjoy some food!

I have a serious obsession with the BabyLit board books; I want them all (seriously). This festive + traditional story will find itself in George’s Christmas Eve Box (have you heard of these?! I love them + there will be a blog post all about it soon!) along with those sweet jammies from Hanna Andersson. You better believe I am incredibly tempted to buy Aaron matching jammies (and get a pair for myself too!). Can we be that family please? If hubs gives the go ahead; my festive dreams will come true ;)

Oh, the “Your Baby’s First Word will be DADA” by Jimmy Fallon book is a MUST! I heard it is pretty hilarious; which I’d assume it would be seeing as Jimmy is one of my favourite funny guys. This will be a gift for the whole family I’m sure. And I wonder if GBB’s first word will be “dada”…

George loves his Lamaze Play + Grow toys (he currently slobbers all over Jacques the Peacock and Donnie the Dino [the dino’s name changed from his given name of Torin the T-Rex to Donnie the Dino; courtesy of my husband!]), so I think Captain Calamari will be a great addition to the drool gang.

Those brightly coloured B Squeeze Soft Blocks are so cute + perfect for my little dude. His grip is incredibly strong and I think he will really enjoy squeezing them (and probably chomping on them too!).

And last but not least, the sweetest cable knit sweater from Elegant Baby in this amazing navy colour (they have light pink, light blue, and soft grey too!). The sweater comes with a matching hat and is sooooo soft; I wish they came in my size. And today is your lucky day! From November 20th (today!) to December 11th, use code “SHOP25” to save 25% off any of their sweet matching gift sets! Hello savings + the perfect holiday outfit for the kiddies in your life! Boom!

George will be rocking his monogrammed sweater (heart eyes for days, people!) at our big Bowman family Christmas dinner (follow me on IG + snapchat @holbowman for those pics). Truthfully, I was never a monogram lady even though we call George “GBB”; my darling friends at Elegant Baby have converted me!

So. I urge you all to not only hook your littles up with the sweet matching gift sets (which come beautifully wrapped + packaged, I must add) but do yourself a solid in the cute category and get those puppies personalized!

And because this sweater is too-die-for cute and my baby is scrumptious, I decided to do a very impromptu “photoshoot” (also known as amateur hour) amidst all the packing/chaos/disaster that is my home. This was the only corner in the house not littered with boxes, tape, or knick knacks…

^ A little decorating while packing (and listening to the Elf Soundtrack) never hurt anyone.
^ Dougie obviously wanted to be a part of his bestie’s shoot ;)
^ The drool king himself.
^ George Bear Bowman!! I mean, c’mon with the cuteness.

I’d like to thank Elegant Baby for partnering with me on this post + for always, always, always having the cutest and incredibly well-made baby products!
