Little Boy Love from Etsy

   I was shocked when I recently shopped for a boy baby doll. There were scores of baby dolls (all girls) in all shapes and sizes, but I scrambled hard to find ONE boy baby doll. It was a revelation of sorts. That's one reason why I wanted to share some suggestions for you for gifts to give the little man in your life!

Who wouldn't love a pair of these darling dinosaur booties? 

They remind me of Max in Maurice Sendak's classic story,

"Where the Wild Things Are."

 

I don't know about you, but I could find the perfect spot in a nursery or toddler's room

to hang this adorable poster that can be personalized!

 Tuck your sweet little one into his bed at night with this rag quilt 

featuring lighthouses and tall ships. He'll dream sweet dreams for sure!

It's available here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/112315687/lighthouse-and-ships

 This inspired creation turns a balloon into a great safe toy. 

An added bonus is that it can be used over and over again.

...And the price is just right!
