Finding that perfect Christmas gift for the tiny baby in your life can be stressful. Thankfully, Edmonton is jam packed with the coolest boutiques carrying the best goodies for your little bae.
Two of Edmonton’s most stylish & successful businesswomen own this new little gift shop on Whyte Avenue. Kyla Kaziel and Anastasia Boruk are huge supporters of local designers (check out their sister store Bamboo Ballroom for proof) and they have made sure to stock their latest store with more local love. One of my favourite baby gifts to give and receive are baby moccasins. Bamboo Stockroom carries Edmonton designer Dear Deer's adorable mocassins, ranging from newborn to toddler sizes. Other equally cool lines are Ole Ole, Areaware and Good Husbands Apparel.
Sisters Lesley Bowman and Jill Williams own this shop, nestled in Sherwood Park and filled with goodies for little ones. One of their hottest items for Christmas is their selection of unique Christmas pajamas by Hatley. They have matching PJ's ranging in sizes for the whole family - perfect for opening up Christmas Eve to watch movies in, or capturing a great family photo. Max & Maude carries all of your favourite baby brands, including Aden + Anais, KicKee Pants, Bogs, Trumpette and Tea Collection.
Erin Trebaczkiewicz, the sweetest and the most stylish mom owns this children's clothing shop, located in the very cool Vacancy Hall, inside the Mercer Warehouse. Shop the Skinny carries a wide variety of hip children's clothing and products from unique venders from all around the world. This season’s hottest item is the highly sought after Fox Socks. Available in baby and toddler size, these socks will step up any babe’s wardrobe.
Justine Ma is a talented local artist and designer with a mini-me of her own. Her hand-written designs are beautiful and witty. She offers a range of products: cards, home decor, baby items and prints. My top pick would have to be the little onesies that say "I like warm hugs." Who doesn't love giving babies warm hugs and a cute little Frozen reference?
