Snazzy handcrafted baby shoes that really steal the show
If the baby I'm having next month is anything like me, the kid will appreciate a really good pair of shoes. (I've already passed that gene onto my daughter, who clamors for any beautiful pair of heels she sees.) I find most people focus on the baby clothes, but adorable shoes really make the outfit. And in the case of this Etsy shop I discovered? That cute romper set from Grandma might go unnoticed if Baby is wearing these. Sorry, Grandma! Warning: Visiting the Ajalor shop on Etsy will either make you want to have another baby stat, or you'll max out your card buying up all the styles for babies on your gift list. So be prepared. There are so many different styles and color combos of shoes to choose from, and they're all pretty much gorgeous, from subdued colors like light blue or green to the fancy all-gold option.

The body is made from sturdy canvas, and the decorative tips are fine leather. I love that the soles are nonslip with slight padding, making them comfortable for babies of all ages, whether they are mobile or not. And because the shoes are made to order, you know you are getting a product that is handcrafted with serious love, making them all the more special. The shoes come in sizing from newborn to toddler (approximately 18 months) and will surely be a hit for any mom who appreciates a gorgeous pair of shoes. -Jeana Handmade baby shoes from the Ajalor shop are priced at $33 a pair, excluding shipping.
