I would LOVE, LOVE , LOVE to have a wagon for my daughter. I remember my mom letting me take our wagon out for a cruise down our neighborhood hill. It was such a blast! Maybe someone would donate a wagon of any kind to us one day.

I love all of these ideas. It is so easy to get stumped when it comes to getting a gift for a baby under a year of age. They have yet to develop strong personal opinions about toys and what they want, yet they are all so independently minded that it can be a bit of a puzzle trying to pick just the right thing. I love the range in your suggestions and will surely be adding a few to my shopping lists this year. If you want to break away from toys and get a gift that will benefit both the baby and the parents, I have some articles, reviews and advice you might be interested in looking over at https://www.roamingmommy.com
