Haba Pink or Blue Mouse
Why I Love It: This mouse brought a smile to my daughter's face immediately. I didn't even know they rattled until she started shaking it. (The blue mouse squeaks.) So adorable.
Get It: Moolka, $2.75

I've always loved stocking stuffers more than the big gifts. This week, I'll be giving you two ideas every day, both for under $10. Yesterday, I gave you some ideas for little suckers; today I'm loving these cute girlie things.

This weekend, I tried to take my baby's picture for our holiday card, and this is how most of them came out. Obviously I'm not a professional photographer. Fortunately, Cafe Cynthia interviewed pictureperfect, who is the owner of the Photo Moms group, for tips on taking a great holiday photo. She had some great suggestions.

Yesterday I did a little Christmas shopping with my 11-month-old. I know it might sound crazy, but it felt kind of weird to be buying presents in front of her. I want them all to be a surprise—especially the ones she gets from Santa.

What to get the Bookworm?
Books are always a great gift of course, but here are a few more original options for the tiny reader (future author?) in your life.

Product: ABC Learning Blocks (in Eastern Blossoms)
Cost: $35
Where to Buy: Etsy
Extras: The set of 26 blocks comes in a hand-sewn drawstring pouch for easy storage.
Why I Love It: Even if I didn't have a baby I'd be coveting these lovely hand-stamped, non-toxic blocks. They are a wonderful way for burgeoning bookworms to learn the alphabet and be on their way to reading. I'm placing my order right now.

What to get the Bathing Cutie?
Bathtime is about getting clean and having fun. Here's what to get the baby (and the Baby Mama) who wants a little of both and already has a tub filled with rubber duckies.

photo from What Every Baby Needs
Product: Furnis Spielweit Puppet Washcloth
Cost: $7.50
Where to Buy: What Every Baby Needs
Extras: Furnis Spielweit guarantees that its products are produced in humane conditions and in no way involve child labor.
Why I Love It: These cute washcloths fit adult hands and put smiles on little faces. I have all three because I couldn't decide which one I like the best. My daughter's favorite is the monkey, but I think that's just because of the monkey sounds and faces her silly mommy makes.

What to get The Fashionista?
There's nothing more fun than shopping for clothes for your little one. You're always sure they'll fit (well, pretty sure) and they look so darn cute. If you've got a little "top model" in your life, he or she will love these gifts (and you will too!).


photos from Boden USA
Product: Mini Boden Layered T-Shirt (shown in Red and Brown)
Cost: $18
Where to Buy: Boden USA
Extras: In addition to those shown there is also a blue tee with an adorable mouse on it; sizes 0-18 months.
Why I Love It: The layered tee look is oh-so-little-hipsterish, and your baby will love the fun animal designs. My daughter can't stop "patting the bunny."
