Best Travel Related Gifts for Babies
Onesies for the Plane or Vacation!
This is such a great travel related gift for babies! I have bought all 3 of these onesies for my friend’s kids. She even put the 3rd one listed here on her baby when he had his Global Entry interview (for my non-American readers this is a program that enables expedited entrance back to the US). Needless to say he passed with “flying” colors!
The links for these are below! These also come in long sleeve and toddler sizes. Some of them are even customizable where you can have the baby’s name printed.
Traveled Themed Milestone Mat
This Milestone Mat is great if you want to buy it for your own child or you want to gift it to a baby of a friend or family member. The best part is that you can personalize it by adding the baby’s name!
Travel Mat
This cute baby mat can be used a couple of ways! It can be used as a decorative rug in a nursey or it can be used as a play or crawl mat.
