If you are known as the travel auntie/uncle, travel mama/dad, travel friend, or travel grandma/grandpa within your circle, then this list of travel-inspired baby gifts is for you! I am in the phase of life right now where my family and friends are all starting their families, which means there are a lot of baby shower, birthday, holiday, and welcome-to-the-world gifts that need to purchased. And as the travel auntie/friend, it’s important for me to gift items that are travel-themed or inspire travel because I want to help influence the little ones in my life to see the world. (Hence why I created my children’s travel brand – Wally The Wandering Wallaby!)
With the holidays coming up, I wanted to make sure I had a post up with some of the cutest travel-inspired baby gifts I’ve found that make amazing and memorable gifts. (Although these would totally work for baby showers and birthdays too!) A lot of the items are small and inexpensive, so you could probably bundle a bunch of them together to make a more complete gift, but there are also some bigger more expensive items that would make great gifts on their own. So have a peruse through and I’m sure you’ll find something for the little one in your life this holiday season!
