Eek, the countdown to Christmas is officially on!

But if the thought of trawling through the aisles of Target, Kmart, or David Jones to find some valuable stocking stuffers makes you want to run and hide to a planet far, far away (to escape the impending crowds and mayhem) then perhaps it’s time to consider our popular b.box stocking stuffers!

Ho, ho, ho! Instead of gifting our kids with excess: including games, gadgets, toys, dolls, clothes, and sports equipment they already have enough of - we’ve got an alternative. This Christmas, choose an approach to holiday gift giving that will put a smile on our child’s dials  with fun and functional b.box gift ideas, for little and big kids.

2. teething relief for tots

Teething babies love to chew. Introducing the wrist teether and the trio teether.  Both teethers are made from non-toxic, food grade materials great for soothing bubs and for helping a new mama or papa out on their parenting journey!

infant

At this stage, a bub may be crawling, grasping for toys, eating some pureed foods and (hopefully!) sleeping through the night. And … they might also be ready to drink more fluids like water and wish to hold their own drink bottle. They may also wish to feed themselves independently. To support baby’s developments at this very exciting and enjoyable stage, we have these fun and functional gifting ideas.

 

 

3. their first sippy cup

Our award-winning sippy cup is the ideal transition cup from bottle/breast feeding to milk in a cup whether at home or on the go, for bubs aged 6m+. Featuring our innovative b.box weighted straw that moves with the liquid – whatever angle bubs is tilted. The sippy cup ensures that tots can drink to the very last drop, whether lying down, standing, or seated; encouraging independent drinking with easy-grip handles and simple flip-top lid. And the straw has a unique two-way valve, ensuring easy drinking and no leaks, even with warm water. So, all you need to do is pick a colour!

By this stage, a toddler is commonly known to be talking, bustling with energy, running around, and exploring the world around them. And even though the ‘terrible twos’ may start to ensue, we’ve thought of your sanity, mama. We’ve created the perfect on the go feeding and hydration gifts with just the right feeding utensils to make your toddler feel like they are sitting on top of the world!

 

 

5. take toddler feeding on the go, with a roll + go mealtime mat

Baby and toddler feeding is a journey… just roll with it! Our  roll + go mealtime mat is your bowl + plate in one… and your key to hassle-free mealtimes! This unique and travel-friendly mealtime system lets parents unroll the mat onto tabletops or highchair surfaces and they’re good to go. The non-slip base keeps food in place and when done simply pack up, roll up and go.

A built-in curved edge bowl supports weaning and independent feeding. Suitably sized for wet foods such as yoghurt, pureed vegetables and soups, the soft silicone edges are the perfect partner for the included deep scooped spoon – soft enough to help collect food or wipe away any access. And the three-section divider keeps foods separate for learners and fussy eaters alike.

Don’t forget the h2O - our mealtime mat includes space for a sippy cup!
