The Mama’s Guide to Chic and Purposeful Gifting

By Allyson Haas, Contributing Copywriter and Editor Leave a Comment

IMG_0600 copyHow the holidays are upon us already I can’t quite explain. But somehow, here we are, late enough into December that I am embarrassed to admit I have yet to order our holiday cards. I’ll get to that, but first, in keeping with time honored traditions of Editor’s Gift Guides, behold, find my spin for this year: A Mama’s Guide to Chic & Purposeful Gifting. Because don’t all mamas love to multitask.

FOR THE MOM IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD

Return the favor of having borrowed some sugar and invite her to a New Arrival Supper Club from ultimate neighbor and current featured mama, Miry Whitehall.Return the favor of having borrowed some sugar and invite her to a New Arrival Supper Club from ultimate neighbor and current featured mama, Miry Whitehall.

FOR THE MAMA WITH THE ENVIABLE INSTA FEED
She knows and goes everywhere and everything, but does she know about For Better Not Worse? Gift her with a tee, sweatshirt or what have you emblazoned with one of their sweet logos, knowing that it’s guaranteed not only to garner a whole host of likes online, but in real life as well as this company is committed to ending childhood hunger. For every piece purchased from the collection, a bag of groceries gets delivered to a child in need.

FOR THE NEW MAMA
It’s entirely likely said friend has a closet full of “Baby’s First Christmas” t-shirts enough to last until the baby heads to college. Instead, consider purchasing a Bisous bracelet. Endorsed by Instagram sensation @lbrand_stylegirl and made by
@drippingingems, the gift provides what every mother, new or otherwise, could ever want for her child, an opportunity to watch them continue to grow and flourish. As part of their Gems for Good initiative, 100% of each purchase’s proceeds g0 toward Bisous for Leo and finding a cure for INAD, a rare debilitating disease being billed as a cross between Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, for kids. So stack ‘em up, content in knowing you’ll be setting the trend to fashion a new life for families suffering from INAD.

FOR THE STAGE MOM
We all know how harried this mom can be, shuffling her child to and from auditions, rehearsals and performances. Help keep her organized by gifting her with a bag from @scenerybags. With materials sourced from shuttered Broadway shows, this company makes stylish and purposeful bags that not only reduce waste headed to the landfill, but simultaneously send underprivileged kids to the theatre. A transformative gift on many a level for which we can give a standing ovation. Bravo!

FOR THE PTA PRESIDENT

She’s the mama singlehandedly taking one for the entire team (meaning, your kid’s class). To recognize what a KEY role she plays in the school process, gift her with a Giving Key, which recognizes the value of every human by hiring folks out of homelessness to shape and craft their products. Each purchase helps a person transitioning off the streets find purpose, place and a paycheck. With a personalized key crafted with an inspirational word of your choice, you’ll be able to show Tracy Flick how much she’s inspired you.

FOR YOUR MAMA
Family is the cornerstone of what life’s all about. Show your mama some love by gifting her with a tee shirt or bag from Adopt Together’s collection of merchandise. Adopt Together is a crowdsourcing platform for families looking to adoption to grow their family. The number one reason folks don’t through with the process is the cost. So honor thy mother, show her you appreciate all the unsung work she does by helping to bring a child to their loving forever home. Because all we really want for the holidays is a family to spend it with.

With wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season to all.

Copyright © 2023 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
