Cute Accessories for Babies and Toddlers at Christmas

How cute is this?!  It's a Santa Claus teddy bear designed to hold your baby's bottle or sippy cup.

While your little one drinks, they will be gripping this cuddly toy.  Very festive, if you ask me, particularly with how much all of the adults will be drinking...

There is also the added element of the teddy acting as an insulator. The contents of the bottle will remain at the temperature that you require, throughout the time it takes baby to drink it all down. Quite handy on those cold, winter nights!

Personalized and seasonal holiday pacifiers are the latest big thing this year; and Christmas is no exception.

Expressions Holidays have come up with one for your infant's first Yule. There's not a great deal to say about it, which you can't see for  yourself!  Other than it conforms to industry health and safety regulations.

In fact, their company statement claims to exceed the recommendations for baby dummies. The silicone nipples are very soft, so they won't hurt your infant while he or she gnaws their gums on it.

I don't know.  The stark black and white seems a little bland to me, after the creativity and color of the Halloween output. I would have liked to have seen more Santas and trees, though perhaps there's little for inspiration here, when compared with the sharp teeth and fangs from spookier times.

However, they are not the only company in on the act, and the final choice does have some color at least.

Jacqui's Preemie Pride has produced this high quality hat and bootie set for the Christmas season. 

She created the company after being thwarted in finding good items for a premature child. They were all too big!  Therefore these begin at the tiniest sizes possible.  While made for newborn babies, there are larger sizes too. Your full term infant will not miss out.

The workmanship has received a lot of compliments from verified buyers.  The set is 100% cotton knit and very soft.

Perched on a corner of my bed is a worn and slightly battered teddy bear named Micki.  No-one should judge his aspect, he's been loved for forty years this Christmas.

Back in 1972, my soldier uncle came home from the wars with this gift for his new niece. It's not many people who can say that they chose so perfect a present, that it's survived from babyhood to middle age intact!

Teddy bears do that.  Ok, Micki might not mean the same to me now as he did when I was a kid, but I wouldn't get rid of him for anything. He and I have been through a lot (monsters under the bed, chicken pox, alien invasion (turned out it was a helicopter), nightmares and the rest. I certainly hugged him fiercely the first time I got dumped. He mopped up a lot of tears without judgement then).

The North American Bear Company toy (pictured above) has been created for babies aged one month to one year. A worthy accessory for your infant this holiday.

Feeling creative?  This is your chance to craft something utterly personal as an accessory gift for a baby at Christmas.

Bucilla's kit includes the materials, needles and instructions necessary to produce an 18" felt stocking for baby's first Christmas.  As you are making it yourself, you can add in your child's name on the hem.

The detail includes a felt applique section, and plenty of festive color in the stitching.  It all looks way beyond my capabilities, but it's a wonderful present for more talented people out there.
