Here are some of my ideas for gifts that I think will be a big hit:
For the Mom with a New Baby- Whether she is a first time mom or a seasoned pro, I think all moms with a baby will appreciate and really get great use out of these gifts:
Clean Bee Baby Giftcard- Clean Bee Baby is an Eco-friendly mobile cleaning service that can help quickly and safely get baby gear back from the yucky, sticky mess that it might be right now. You can either go to them - they have days at all the the best kid and baby shops in town - or have them come to your house. Lots of options and outstanding customer service.
Chewbeads Jewerly- These are the chicest tethers around. Super cute necklaces and bracelets that are safe for your teething baby to chew on. They even have a breakaway clasp so you won't get choked when they pull on them. I have the black hudson necklace and love it - I get stopped all the time and get compliments on it and they don't even know it is a teething necklace. I also wore it on a plane ride and it saved us.
For your BFF/Sister/Mom- She makes you laugh, tells you that you look cute, and listens to how adorable and/or crazy your family is. Make her feel great too with these fun gifts:
Mommy Juice Wine- I served this at a play date and it was a hit! There is a Red and a White and both were very popular. You can pick up the wine at Target or order online. The creator is hilarious too! Like them on Facebook to get her funny updates about the crazy things her kids are up to.
DryBar- We love the Drybar, a Blowdry salon in Pacific Palisades and I think you and your girlfriends will too. You can treat them to a blowout with one of their super cute gift coasters. Buy a single for $35, or give ‘em a box of blowouts, available in three options: 3 pack, 6 pack, or 12 pack.
Warning - you might become addicted, once you get the taste of rocking that great hair.
Jaimie Geller Jewelry- Also in the Palisades- You can't go wrong with anything is this beautiful store from classic and timeless pieces to rocker chic- Jaimie will find a great gift for you for any budget
Retro Cell Phone Handset- makes talking on your cell phone so much easier (and safer) and it is just cute and fun and reminds me of being a teenager talking on the phone for hours
The men in your life:
A camera tripod- just think, from now on the whole family can be in the video you don't just hear dad narrating and doing that awkward holding the camera filming yourself wave.
You can get them for your iPhone, camera , or video camera. There are tons of options when it comes to style, price and function.
Apple TV - for just $99 Stream audio and video from your iPad or computer to your HDTV via Apple TV. And rent HD movies, buy TV shows, and watch Netflix.
