It can be so hard to find gift ideas for others around Christmas, and if you’re like me and struggle in that department then I hope this Holiday Gift Guide helps! For us Christmas is all about being together and making memories (as a family of 5!!) – presents are not at all mandatory or the focus of the day… but it’s also fun to surprise your loved one with a small something every now and again!
SHOP SMALL

- Couch Coaster
- Craft Beer Tasting Kit
- 3-in-1 Charging Station
- Golf Ball Ice Cube Maker
- Barista Machine

FOR BABY
I wanted to include all of the twins favourite items!
- Playmat – the most incredible luxurious playmate! My code ELLE10 will save you 10% this month!
- Silicone stacking cups (these are always a hit!)
- Activity centre (these double as a safe spot I can put the twins and know that they won’t crawl away!)
- 4-in-1 Activity Walker (the twins love playing with this – they press all the buttons and play with it, and are pulling themselves up. it will grow with them!)
- Playgym (newborn – 6 months / once they are crawling ours lost interest)
- Explore & More Yeti
- Explore & More Crawl Assist
- Fox Stacking Toy
- Rock a Mole Guitar
- Soft Book
- Pony Activity Toy (we love how this encourages fine motor skills!)
- Soft Ball Bit (the twins play in their ball pit + soft play equipment for hours!)

Note: some of the items included were gifted to us but we were under no obligation to share them as part of our favourites and recommendations.
