One person that everyone loves showering and spoiling with gifts is the baby. We love gifting things to babies because, well, they're just so darn cute! And everything made for them is also just so darn cute! Honestly, I believe that if we could get away with it, many of us would still be wearing soft fleece pjs with footies attached, or eating dinner off personalized plates and silverware with tiny animals marching across. Alas, we grew up as did our tastes, and although we can't use many of the super soft, extra-cuddly or painfully cute clothes and accessories that infants get to, we now have the means to buy them and provide them to the babies in our life. Whether it's your baby's first holiday, a new niece or nephew that you're welcoming, or a close friend's mini-me, there's a vast variety of brightly colored toys, plush pastel blankies, itty-bitty garments and beautifully shining accessories that are admittedly a little superflous but undeniably lust-worthy and still very practical. Click on the slideshow for some favorite gift ideas to show the littlest one how much you love them.

Christine and Olivia, founders of Small, have created a beautiful online magazine that highlights handmade items and indie designers of children's products. Christine, studied fashion design at FIT, worked as a buyer in NYC and now has a children's clothing line - Baby Bean Vintage Daywear. She lives in Dallas with her husband and two little girls. Olivia studied interior architecture and design and has worked in many different art and design areas in Australia and New York. She lives in New York with her husband and two children. As an independent designer, Christine often found it difficult to get exposure and press for her business because indies often cannot afford expensive PR firms or advertising in the larger magazines. With this as a backdrop, they decided to start Small. Together the pair set out to find those designers that were not being featured anywhere and to promote these smaller scale productions. They also wanted a project that they could work on together even though they now live far apart.
