Holiday baby gifts for baby that are actually more appealing than the wrapping paper
Oh I just can't wait for all those obligatory stuffed animals that my baby will get over the holidays because really, what else do you give a newborn for Christmas? So here's a suggestion: An adorable  duck rattle baby toy from Estella NYC.

Hand crocheted by Peruvian artisans and designed by the smart folks at Estella, this soft cotton duck has a satisfying rattle inside, beating out any stuffed bear, bunny, or even Rudolph. If ducks are too conventional for you, then you're in luck; the goat is equally as cute and is guaranteed not to eat the crib bedding or your baby's onesie. -Kristen

Congratulations to Laura K, winner of the adorable duck rattle!
