We moms would probably agree that finding a gift for the little ones in our life can sometimes be difficult!
- Do they have this already?
- Will someone else purchase the same gift?
- What do you buy a one-year-old?
The questions go on and on. This gift guide was created for those ages three and under who deserve something special just from you!

Clothes are great, but clothes from a local, small business created by a girl with a dream are even better. - Cuddle + Kind Doll, $52-72

Gift an experience! The link to the Detroit Theatre offers information about a variety of shows, but check your local event happenings for shows nearest you. - College contribution, $20-100
A College contribution is truly the best gift! Check to see if the child you’re in search of a gift for has a 529 college savings plan. If so, ask the parents the best way to make a contribution to that account. If not and you are a significant person in that child’s life ask if you can set an account up for them! Here is one 529 plan Mid Michigan Moms Blog recommends- MET. - Detroit family zoo membership, $109
A family zoo membership at the Detroit Zoo covers 2 adults and 4 children (18 and under) living at the same address. A membership also provides free parking in a members-only lot. With the parking fee of $8 and tickets at the admission gate are $18/adult and $15/child (ages 2-18) just a couple of visits to the zoo through the year make a membership worth it!
We hope a gift from this gift guide will make a little one in your life smile!
Great suggestions! I especially love your #2 recommendation, buying a gift and it benefiting others in return! It’s not too late…I may have to check it out for a late add-on Christmas gift (but then again, her birthday is literally right around the corner, too, so…)
Thanks for reading Jacqui! The Cuddle + Kind dolls are SO CUTE.
