Part 2: Gift Ideas for Kids 0 -1 year old below Php1000

Okay, hi readers! Sorry it took so long for me to write the second part of my Christmas gift ideas for kids below 0 to 1 year old. Been busy with work lately that I was not able to post this right now. Anyway here's the second part of my Christmas gift ideas, or any occasion for that matter. hihi!!

This is the second sequal to my christmas ideas and it's all about baby/toddler utensils. Feeding our babies will start as early as 6 months. So its a really a good investment to buy quality products because it will be used for a longer period of time and to also ensure our children's safety. Food handling and hygiene should be our first priority as parents. Here are some gift ideas you can buy:

1. AVENT Feeding bottle - Of course, this is if the baby is in formula feeding. Avent brand is really one of the products that are of quality. For breastfeeding moms, there are also quality brands you can choose if you want to bottle feed your babies.

2. Teethers - I consider these as part of baby utensils because its something to do with itchy gums. There are a lot of teethers but choose to buy those that can be placed in the refrigerator to chill it. It will give better relief to your baby's gums.

3.  Bowls and plates - When buying baby and kid bowls and plates, I'd suggest you go for those with covers both the bowl/plates and the spoon and fork. It will easier to store food and take it to travelling. Be sure to also check the plastic codes on the utensils to ensure that its safe for your babies and kids. Here's a basic guide to plastics that you can read on: http://healthychild.org/easy-steps/know-your-plastics/

4. Plastic containers - When my baby started eating I bought plastic containers for food preparation and storage. This will make it easier to store in the refrigerator and ensures food sanitation as well. You can also use these containers when traveling until your kid grows up.

5. Bottle and Nipple Drying Rack - It makes drying and cleaning bottles, nipples, and toys easier using this. When buying a drying rack make sure to consider the stability and its size. Make sure that the rack is stable enough for your bottles and toys but not so big or small in built so it wont be difficult to keep.

So for now, these are the utensils needs you can buy as gifts to your kids, nieces, nephews that they could really use for a longer period of time. Read on for my next gift ideas!:) 

Part 1: Gift Ideas for Kids 0 - 1 year old below Php500

Hello there, beautiful creatures! This is my pre-Christmas post because I usually start my  gift listing and shopping when September comes. It makes the shopping a lot more fun for me because I get to have more time to search for gifts for my loved ones. It makes budgeting easier as well because the expenses are spread for four months.

Here's some of gift ideas I think can be useful or functional for babies age 0 - 1 year or even maybe until their preschool. So if you are having a hard time finding that perfect gifts read more now!:)

Clothing Needs 

1. Cloth Diaper (Approximately Php400) - There are a lot of brands that offer cloth diapers now. There are a lot of these in the malls and more in online shops. What's nice about cloth diapers is its very efficient, effective and cost-worthy. You get to save a huge amount of money just by using it and at the same time helping the environment. Who does not love practicality and savings, right?

2. Bibs (Php 90 -150) - There are a lot of cute bibs now and its really useful for babies or until they reach their toddler years. At first it can be used as burping cloth, when they reach 6mos for feeding time, as they age you could use it while babies are teething. Its really practical and it can be a fashion statement and they come in different cute designs.

3. Socks or Footsies  (Php 90 - 150) -This is useful for babies and toddlers because they can't wear slippers or shoes yet. I'd also suggest buying Shoes with rubber at the bottom for walking purposes.

4. Onesies - ( Php50 - Php400) I love onesies. They look so cute in onesies especially with cute designs or funny statements. There are a lot of onesies available in malls but there are also cheap but quality onesies in bazaars or online. I'd suggest Circle C in Visayas Avenue and Hello Baby at Bel-Air Makati

5.Busha pants (Php 100-Php300) I enjoy using this for my baby every time its cold or its raining. I also
bring it with us in out-of-town vacations to prevent mosquito bites. It's very soft and can be used to protect our babies legs and knees when they start crawling.

6. Terno sleepwear. (Php150 - 300) I love terno clothes. I think babies and kids look so cute and put together with terno sleepwear or clothes. So these type of clothes can really be useful and practical gifts.

So this is just the first part of my four part series of Christmas gift ideas for babies to toddlers,next post will be about gifts below Php1000. So I hope you keep reading! 

Thank you and I would love to hear from you!:)
