I'm a Parent Who Works In Fashion—Here Are Great Gifts to Give Anyone Who Has a Baby or a Toddler
And also gift ideas for the kids themselves!
I like to call myself a "fashion parent." By day, I’m Who What Wear’s executive shopping director; the rest of the time, I’m dad to a toddler with a newborn on the way. Naturally, my sense of style doesn't stop at my own closet or with my work—it influences everything from my daughter’s wardrobe to the gear I use (yes, strollers can be stylish). With all of that in mind, I thought I'd curate a gift guide of some of my favorite pieces for parents with toddlers or babies. Because, to be honest, while I love getting fashion gifts for myself, I adore receiving items for my actual child even more.
You'll certainly find adorable clothing options (because hello, fashion editor over here), like that sweater above. You'll also find the stylish gear I mentioned, including investment must-haves, carriers, nursery staples, and accessories. Of course, I made sure to sprinkle in fun toys for the kids. Keep scrolling for all of that and more.
Baby
Bernadette launched Baby Bernadette. The result? Absolutely adorable knits.
The sweetest baby press toy.
A must-have for nursing!
Okay, Zara!
Remember when I mentioned stylish gear? This high chair is one of those items. This 4-in-1 piece from Cybex grows with your baby—literally from birth to adult as it can transition to a dining chair.
La Coqueta is one of my absolute favorite children's brands. Everything is divine.
The chicest carrier option. Period.
Really love someone? This glider is a game changer.
Can't go wrong.
I have this bib for my child. Yes, it's a splurge, but it's a daily item!
I can't even talk about how sweet this is.
One of my top baby items!
Does someone have the SNOO? Gift the bear, which also soothes and is responsive to noise.
A no-fail gift.
For the Ms. Rachel fan.
I love the interactive toys from Lovevery.
Toddler
Crate & Barrel Kids has the cutest furniture and accent pieces. I'm thinking about getting this chair for my niece and nephew.
This label has such fun pieces.
I absolutely want to get this dollhouse for my daughter.
Don't forget about Zappos for an incredible range of Uggs.
Wait, this is genius. Family traveling just got easier because these trunks can link together for rolling!
And a fun carry-on for the little one.
Cuteness overload.
This coat!
Super Smalls just gets it.
For family cuddle time.
Another one of my favorites.
The American Girl and J.Crew collab is darling.
Adorable for the holiday season.
A vibe.
I know so many fashionable parents (myself included) with this stroller.
