Are you shopping for a kiddo this year? What is their age and most special item on their gift list?

I have a feeling looking at Christmas lights and playing wrapping paper and bows will be the most exciting for Oliv. My favorite part? Getting to spend time with the people I love so much.

    I will be buying for MY 10 week old baby this year!! I don’t really know what to get him just yet but I’m sure ill get some good ideas by looking at your posts and by reading some of the recommendations from your readers.

    My fave part about Christmas with O is her beliefe in the magic. Lights, spices, treats, carols, santa and elves all hold a very real magic for young children. Gift part: She is almost 5 and getting an American Girl Doll.

    I really needed this. My sis-in-law is about 4 months along and I have NO idea what to give her or the baby when it comes. So thanks!

    I would love some Christmas ideas for some non-mom’s/babies – if you have any that would be great. I got a present last year from lululemon upon your posts. Thanks!

    I take back my last post – I wasn’t fully caught up on my google reader!

    Thank you sooooo much for the 20% discount code for the ‘For Two’ fitness apparel (I’m buying a gift for myself haha). I’m 18 weeks along and a group fitness instructor so I’m starting to get a few ‘looks’ from those who don’t know I am pregnant (I’m sure you know how that is). Already placed my order and can’t wait to wear them loud and proud! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I ordered the baby k’tan after reading how much you liked it. Now that my little dude is here I’ve been trying it out and have to say I really don’t like it! It feels way too big and not supportive. He seems to ride low and I have all this loose fabric on both sides. I got an XS and he is only around 7lbs so I’m sure it would be more snug when he gets bigger but it really seems to lack the back support. I really wanted to like it but think I’ll get the baby bjorn instead for newborn and perhaps an ergo for 6+ months. I wish there was a way to try before you buy!
