Holiday Gift Guide
With just over a month before Christmas & lots of sales coming up this week for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, I wanted to put together a few recommendations for gifts for some of the loved ones in your life! Many of you shared that you’ll be looking around this week for gifts for your husband, dad, in-laws and more. I hope this guide helps you find the right gift, or sparks a new idea that you may not have considered previously!
This post contains affiliate links & discount codes. Every purchase made with these links & codes helps support our family, so thank you greatly in advance! I pray that the discount codes are helpful for you as well, so that you can find some extra savings on your special gifts. Let’s jump in!
Gifts for Babies:
Teething Rosary! Chew’s Life makes full Rosary beads and single decades. We have two for our two children that we use almost daily & I have personally gifted many to our friends when they’ve had children. We LOVE having these sacramentals around. Discount code = MELISSA10
Lovevery Play Kits! These might be my top recommendation for babies: from newborn to infant, to baby & toddler - they have specific kits for every stage. They are developmental toys so they encourage focus, learning, growth, they are high quality and you can just see the baby’s brain developing when they interact with each piece!
Books! This is a list of some of our most favorite books. I’ve been reading to my son since he was a newborn and he absolutely loves books! He will even sit quietly and flip through them “reading” on his own for a long time if I am occupied with something else. Research shows the more books in the home, the more the children will grow up and love to read!
Gifts for Toddlers:
Lovevery Play Kits! It’s worth mentioning again because they make play kits through age three. Each one is so specifically crafted for the child’s age and I guarantee they’ll love them!
Pikler Triangle! Recommended from age 9 months all the way to 7 years old, this is a bigger investment but a piece that truly will be used for YEARS. It promotes motor development, adventure and hours of fun. We love ours! Discount code = MELISSAT10
Learning Tower! This is such a helpful tool for toddlers. It helps them get up and get involved in the kitchen - from cooking to cleaning and everything in between. Ours is used constantly and I can’t imagine toddler days without one.
Gifts for Kids:
Mary on the Mantel! Think elf on the shelf but Catholic and way better! Let your kids journey with Mary through the Holy Land as she prepares for the birth of her Son, Jesus. This bundle comes with the Mary doll, motherhood set, activity kit, and more. Discount code = MELISSA10
