Lil Gift Guide

Ali Wing is known for her editing prowess. No, she's not the editor of a high-end magazine but the founder of Giggle, the baby emporium that is redefining the way parents create happy and healthy nurseries for their tots. A former securities lawyer, Ali noticed that this generation of parents were older and more educated than ever before and in need of a store that would cater to their needs. So she created Giggle, a high-end baby store of carefully curated baby gear that meets the store's rigid Giggle criteria.

The NYC-based mother puts most of her energy into her business and her family, but when pressed for what she might actually like for herself this holiday season, she was able to muster up a few things. Keep reading to see what's on Ali's list!

For as long as I can remember, one of my favorite stocking stuffers has been a calendar. Sure, these days I keep track of my daily schedule mostly on my phone and computer, but a colorful Paper Source wall calendar still holds a place of honor in my kitchen, and my daughter loves seeing what fun, new picture each month brings. If you want to teach your little ones about the joys of keeping a real calendar, consider putting one of the following nine kid-friendly options under your tree. Keep clicking to find your favorite!

Got a lil one who can't stay away from the field, rink, court, or greens? Be glad!

Reward your athletic tot (or sideline-sitting baby) this holiday with one of these nine spectacularly sporty gifts!

If you don't know the name Laura Ching, you most certainly know her work. The cofounder of Tiny Prints has almost single-handedly changed the way moms (and moms-to-be) order birth announcements and holiday cards. As a paper lover myself — my mom owned a stationery store when I was little — I can't help but love the way Laura has introduced modern design concepts to the world of baby paper goods.

The mom-of-two's melding of contemporary design to traditional letter-writing certainly extends to her life outside the office, too. Just look at what's on her wish list this holiday season — everything from an elegant French crepe cake to a family trip to the 2013 Rose Bowl to ultramodern (and fun) designer sneakers.

Check out what's on our holiday wish lists this year, and if you happen to run into our spouses, feel free to share!

If you want to really wow your kid this holiday season, splurge on a gift that's guaranteed to induce squeals, screams, and maybe even some jumping up and down. Yes, the following gifts aren't exactly budget-friendly (all come in at more than $100), but if you want one showstopping present under the tree, these are the gifts for you! From a pint-size vintage Benz to the coolest modern dollhouse, from a party dress fit for a princess to the season's hottest new game system, these presents might be pricey, but they're totally worth it!

Has your lil one racked up more frequent-flyer miles in his few years than most people do in a lifetime? Think nothing of catching the red eye cross-country? Then we've got the gift guide for you! Globetrotting tots will love to unwrap presents that will help prepare them for their next trip, they can bring aboard a future flight, or will bring back fond memories of a favorite destination. Bon voyage!

It's not all about the kiddos during the holidays. They may not be toys you can buy at the local toy store, but moms have a few wants of their own this time of year. So listen up dads! We're turning to some of the busiest and savviest mamas we know — moms who've started businesses catering to other moms (and moms-to-be) — to see what's made its way onto their wish lists.

Rosie Pope's a mom of many hats. On TV she's the maternity concierge to some demanding parents-to-be. In her store she's the designer of a high-end line of eponymous maternity clothes and the founder of MomPrep, an education center for moms and expectant moms. In between, she's the author of Mommy IQ: The Complete Guide to Pregnancy. And at home, she's wife to Daron and mom to sons James and Wellington and baby daughter Vivienne. To say Rosie's got a lot going on is an understatement, but when it comes to thinking of herself, she's looking to mix the practical with the fun. Check out what's on Rosie's holiday wish list this year.
