Personal gift ideas
•   Happy Blankie "One to love, one to give." Happy Blankie are cute, animal print blankies and are perfect for little ones! They make fun comfort blankets especially for nap times! The Happy Blankie company was built on their foundation of gifting a blanket to a child in need for every blanket purchased. Not only is this a great way to help another little one but their blankets make wonderful gifts as each are really soft, comfy, and cute! Buggies and Babies will host a Happy Blankie event on Friday November 25, 2011 from 1 pm - 3 pm click here for more details about Happy Blankie
•    Designs by Janessa Charm Prints – have your baby’s thumb or toe print engraved forever on a charm that you can gift to a family member or friend. The print kits are only $10 at Buggies and Babies then you forward the mold to Designs by Janessa, select your charm, and Janessa will mail your gift directly to you. Also the price of the kit will be taken off your final charm costs.
•    Doodlebug Designs Ceramic plates – these plates will feature your lil one’s hands and/or feet on a plate. You choose the plate size, shape, color as well as the inscription on the plate. You can also include other siblings or your own hands and/or feet. For our Christmas in store event Sunday December 4th 12 – 2 PM Doodlebug Designs will also have holiday ornaments, mugs, picture frames to choose from. These make great personal, timeless keepsakes.
•    Design Me Chalkboard Cross – these 8.5” x 11” wooden crosses are painted with Black chalkboard paint and include chalk which lets you or child write their own message on the cross. Great for Baby’s 1st Christmas or babies being born or baptized around the holiday time.
•    Holiday photo shoot – our family does this every year. It’s a great time of the year to get our family together for a photography session. This year we did it outside my parent’s house in the pouring rain, it was beautiful but COLD! Also the professional pictures make great additions to your holiday greeting cards. We really suggest local photographers Photos by Leyna or Stills by Hill. We've worked with both companies and love their work! Book them soon!

Holiday Gift ideas
•    Mud Pie Holiday Attire and accessories are always hit every Holiday season. Their adorable bloomers, tights, legwarmers are to DIE FOR! Also, for Boys the Santa Longalls, knit hats, knit booties, or holiday socks are cool and practical.
•    Baby Legs leg warmers are great stocking stuffers and will come in handy during our cold nights. Buggies and Babies carries newborn sizes and one size fits most, which really do fit most (even past 5 years old!)
•    Buggies and Babies features many custom made products of local vendors such as custom baby blankets, beanies, booties, hair accessories, and much more! Custom made gifts are always unique and thoughtful gifts
•    Ju Ju Be wallets and accessories – such as the Be Quick, Mighty Be, Be Major, Be Light are smart practical bags that are not pricey but will make any Mom very pleased. The Be Quick can be used for light diaper bag essentials (wipes and a couple diapers) or for Moms own personal things (like how I use my Be Quick’s).
•    Aden and Anais slumber packs or sleeping bags are a popular gift year round, so, of course you can’t go wrong with their products for Holiday gifts. The muslin weave of Aden and Anais products make their material breathable and provide just the right amount of warmth. If you opt for the Bamboo fabric you’ll get extra softness and comfort. The Aden and Anais cozy sleep sacks are great for bed time – with 4 layers of muslin babies will be sure to sleep soundly and warmly.


Buggies and Babies certainly hopes this guide helps you come up with great gift ideas. Our family, each year, creates a list of who we are giving gifts to, which is sorted by age. This helps me to know which stores I should check out and which gift ideas I can select from. Anything to minimize the time I spend in a busy mall is great for me!
The Otay Ranch Town Center in East Chula Vista will have great Black Friday specials. The mall is also not as crazy busy as other malls so come check us out!
