Holiday baby gifts for baby that are actually more appealing than the wrapping paper
Oh I just can’t wait for all those obligatory stuffed animals that my baby will get over the holidays because really, what else do you give a newborn for Christmas? So here’s a suggestion: An adorable duck rattle baby toy from Estella NYC.
Hand crocheted by Peruvian artisans and designed by the smart folks at Estella, this soft cotton duck has a satisfying rattle inside, beating out any stuffed bear, bunny, or even Rudolph. If ducks are too conventional for you, then you’re in luck; the goat is equally as cute and is guaranteed not to eat the crib bedding or your baby’s onesie. -Kristen

I never thought twice about diapering my son with the eco-not-so-conscious disposable diaper. I have to admit, I thought that cloth diapers were still big cotton towels that required safety pins, manual dexterity, and a whole lot of free time.
Don’t get any sick ideas, dear readers. We’ve all seen our share of those softies and we certainly don’t need a stuffed one of THOSE laying around the house. 
When my 3 year old was a newborn we planned a trip to Europe and before I could say auf viedersehn, my brain pictured all the filthy traveling potties we would encounter while changing her diaper.
