"Has she gone crazy, Christmas is faar away..!"

Well, with a new baby in your arms, Christmas shopping will take much longer than usual, I can guarantee you that!

Last year I made the decision to do as much as I could of my Christmas shopping online. Well, since I didn't start in time, I still had to run out during the last few days and jostle with all other desperate Christmas shoppers. This year I will start earlier. Actually, I've already started.

While spending time writing baby gift tips for you, I found some new websites with lots of stuff for my kids. Great! (And for me and dad too - funny I always seem to find things that I would like to have when I look for things to my kids. Not that I ever buy anything for myself, but this year I plan to leave my "Gifts for Mom" article open on our computer for dad to read…)

So my 2 cents for you is to start early! Check out the gift tips below, make your list and start shopping. I promise you that it will take a lot of stress off your back!

Read more about all this and more in this month's issue of Have An Easy Baby Life. And have a great November!

Baby Clothing Gifts

Babies use up an enormous amount of clothes during their first year of living. Not that they ever actually wear out an item, but they grow so fast! With their rapid development different types of clothes are more or less convenient at different months.

Here are tips on how to choose the best baby clothing gifts.

Baby Toy Gifts

Toys, toys, toys… Before you know it, they will be all over the place, and no matter how carefully you choose which toys to buy, your children will only play with a few percent of all the stuff they have. Still, baby toy gifts are fun! If you (or grandma or whoever) choose things that are appropriate for your baby's age, the toys are likely to be both appreciated, played with and a help for your baby's development.
