Ooh...affordable baby gifts at Nordstrom while you're busy shopping for yourself

Featured partner If we had to pick a favorite department store, Nordstrom would be right up there. Between the designers, the wide selection, and their amazing customer service (take the time our Editor Kristen accidentally came home with a security tag attached to her new coat and Nordstrom sent an associate to her home to take it off!) we find ourselves making excuses to pop in whenever we can. (Hello, Chanel counter.) You can also ask our credit cards how much we love shopping there. So you can imagine how excited we are to welcome Nordstrom as our newest partner. That means that in the coming weeks, we get to share some of our faves from the shop. And yes, we love our jobs. First up, you might not realize that they have some really affordable baby gifts from their Little Me Collection that we think are perfect for holiday giving. And not just because they come in that pretty gray box tied up in satin ribbon.

We all went, "ooh..." when we saw this argyle romper and hat set for baby boys. The cotton knit makes it dressy enough for parties, but still warm and comfy. And don't worry, those just look like buttons; they're really snaps. We checked. It's the perfect gift for pretty much any baby boy, whatever his parents' style.

For the traditionalist, the Heirloom Rose footie and hat just screams "coming home" outfit.  It starts at preemie and goes up to 9mo. And the lovely lace ruffle detail makes so much little nicer than a simple cotton one-piece. The price? Just $18. Extra sweet. And even though our little girls aren't so little any more, the Etched Roses body suit, leggings, and coat set (at top) is making us really wish they were. If you hadn't noticed, faux fur is everywhere these days. Plus we love that it's sweet and festive for the holidays but easily worn all winter long.

You all know we're suckers for edgy kids' clothes, and so of course we're digging this Motorcycle t-shirt set--now on sale for 50% off. It will pair perfectly with khakis, jeans, cords or little karate pants. And the hint of red lets us justify it as cool, casual holiday wear. Doesn't Santa drive a Harley these days? For lots more affordable baby gifts, visit Nordstrom.com or head to your local store. And thanks to Nordstrom (aka our second home) for being our sponsor over the holidays.
