Check out the Baby Buzz for baby gift ideas every day this week. I'll have suggestions for the Animal Lover, the Musical Munchkin, the Fashionista, the Bathing Cutie, and the Bookworm. You'll also find the perfect presents for all the other people in your life on your other favorite Daily Buzz channels.

What to get the Animal Lover?

There's not a baby out there who doesn't like animals—cows, pigs, sheep—and the sounds they make. Here are some cute toys for those future farmers, zookeepers, anthropologists, and dog whisperers.

Product: Selecta On the Farm Wooden Picture Book

Cost: $11.50

Where to Buy: Blueberry Forest Toys

Extras: It makes a clacking noise as you turn the pages—your baby will love it.

Why I Love It: Babies eat books up—literally. They've also been known tear the pages. This one has all baby's favorite farmyard animals, but it's non-toxic, rip-proof, and the pages have rounded corners so it won't poke your little one in eye.

Why I Love It: I love anything with elephants. My friend has this beautifully crafted puzzle made from sustainable, non-toxic wood, and I'm getting it for my baby. You can put it together now and use as a decoration in your baby's room. Your baby can assemble it on her own in about a year and you'll beam with pride.
