I know many of you are celebrating your first holiday season with a new one this year. Truly nothing makes the holidays more special than children. Below, I’m sharing some favorite gifts for children under two. Honestly, you can get away with getting baby gear (i.e., footmuff or bike seat) or clothing or even room decor at under a year. They mainly like to play with the wrapping paper anyway! But it is fun to have a few actual toys for them, too.
