Canadian Gift Guide

What It Is: Wooden push toys for little tykes, made from 100% post-industrial recycled materials and coated with non-toxic, no VOC ultra low odour paint, so you can rest assured your tot won’t get sick from their plaything. Also cool? They’re all made just south of the border in the good ol’ US of A. Available in dozens of colours and shapes – including a menagerie of animals, a fleet of transportation, and some very cool 3D pieces like a fairy tale carriage & horse, these are adorable baby shower or birthday gifts that mom and dad will appreciate as much as the little ones.
Who It’s For: Your co-worker’s first ever baby shower, to ease her into mommyhood. Your darling niece or nephew, because you just can’t help spoiling them. Your own son or daughter, as a birthday gift you’ll keep for years.
What It Costs: Prices start at about $32, and go all the way above $100 for a 3D, life-size wooden carriage.
Where It’s At: US-based baby store Manny & Simon.
