For Littles: Pottery Barn Kids Alpaca Critter Rocker, $189
We have all heard of a rocking horse, but what about a rocking alpaca?
Pottery Barn’s iteration of the famous toy is described as “plush as a mountain alpaca” with a “huggable body” and “cozy Sherpa fleece fur.” The kind countenance of the faux animal gives it an immediate approachability, and its precision-shaped, solid rubber wood runners offer a soft rocking motion. Recommended for littles ages 1-5 and up to 110 lbs., this gift can also be uniquely personalized with your child’s name for an additional cost.
