Got some tiny tykes on your holiday shopping list. The secret to getting a successful holiday gift for a little one is to make it interactive.
“This is Jordan. Jordan was born in April. She’s a little over seven months old and she is my first child. She’s my angel,” said new dad Butch Ebi.
Ebi’s angel will be celebrating her first Christmas this year.
“Anything is good at this point. I don’t think she cares what she gets,” said Ebi.
But as a gift giver, you wanna give good stuff. With the one and under set, you can’t go wrong with interactive.
“Great interactive toys seem to be very hot this year. Things that make noise. Things that reward actions would definitely be a plus this holiday season,” said Tanja Maxsim of Babies “R” us.
Look for lots of colors, activities, and music. Whether it’s a bouncy seat or activity area that’s fun. Here’s practical. Walking wings are like a harness that helps teach babies to walk.
And then there’s the Bumbo Seat.
“It’s very cushy and foamy. It helps support the back when baby’s learning how to sit up and this supports the front. No more use of all those pillows and sofa cushions,” said Maxsim.
Finally, don’t forget the new mom. Hip new diaper bags, that look like anything but, are a real hot item.
“Moms can keep in here her wallet, her cell phone, her day planner, and still have plenty of room for diapers, wipes and food, change of clothes and all that fun stuff,” Maxsim said.
