My aunt always finds the coolest gifts. I don't know how or where, but come birthdays and holidays, it's the package from her that my kids always seem to want to open the most. So when I was pregnant with my son and she handed over a brightly-wrapped parcel, I found myself getting excited.
My reaction was not unfounded. Inside I found Taggies Soft Blocks (compare prices), a set of four, blocks, yes, but so much more. Each side features something interesting for baby to look at, touch or listen to. From a black and white zebra, to "crunchy" fabric, and of course the tags that are placed all over, these blocks offer a ton of tactile fun.
They come in a nice plastic carrying case for storage at home, but they also link together so you can put them on a stroller, or can even squish them into a diaper bag for fun on the road.
What's the best baby gift you've ever gotten?
