Bundles of Joy
No object can compete with the splendor of a newborn, which makes finding the ideal gift a task that can trip up even a veteran shopper. To save you hours of aimless browsing, Cookie rounded up the most precious birth gifts we could find. (Our criteria? Vociferous oohs and ahhs.) Some are for a child's first moments; others are meant for the later toddling-grabbing-playing stages. All were chosen to withstand the test of cuddles, wear, and time.
Alter Eco: This Stuffed Bear is as safe to cuddle as it is cute: It's made from organic cotton and wool and non-toxic dyes. Claudius the bear, $150.
