Buying for babies, toddlers and small children is my favourite category to buy for, I find it so easy to buy for babies and young children in this range and find it unbelievably hard when anyone else say's the opposite. Babies are yet to talk, unless you count goo goo gaa gaa of course this is words, baby talk really is a important step and encourages vocabulary, enough now, I am not teaching a lesson, I am about to introduce you to some of the cutest baby, toddler and small children Christmas bit's around.


My Spud is 7 now, although he will always be my baby, I don't think he would appreciate me very much if I got him an item from this list, thankfully I have three baby/toddler nephews to buy for who fit into this category easily!
