Just in time for Small Business Saturday, we are saluting our favorite mamapreneurs. We selected 18 unique gifts for kids ages 0-10—all founded by moms who are following their passions while raising a family. At Bubbsi, we know exactly how that feels: Our founder, Sweta Doshi, has two little (very well moisturized!) bubs. Get ready to cross off every child on your holiday list, from babies to big kids, all while supporting these incredible women.
FOR BABY (AND MAMA!)
1) Anjie + Ash Teething Necklace
THE GIFT: This necklace is made with non-toxic silicone, beech wood and stainless steel, safe for babies to teeth on, yet elegantly designed, with a fashionable mom in mind.
THE BRAND STORY: “With all the drastic changes motherhood brings, I knew there had to be a way to hold onto the little things that made me feel like myself,” founder Andrea Chinalai writes on her website, which is full of beautiful teething necklaces and bracelets. Their designs can be worn proudly by any fashion-forward woman, not just mamas. Why? Because these identities don’t have to be separate.
2) Bubbsi The Whole Gang Gift Set
THE GIFT: Packaged in reusable silicone bottles shaped like animals, our trio of skin essentials makes the snuggliest gift. For babies and kids (and parents!), the set includes a body cream, shampoo + wash, and oil balm (which is great for baby’s cradle cap and diaper rash), all made with organic, cold-pressed coconut oil—and no harsh parabens, phthalates, sulfates or dyes.
THE BRAND STORY: Sweta Doshi started Bubbsi when her daughter developed eczema. She was underwhelmed by the skincare options out there: Nothing worked as well as coconut oil, but that was so messy. Out of her daughter’s needs—plus her years working in the beauty industry—Bubbsi was born!
3) Lewis set of Two Burp Cloths
THE GIFT: Patterned with a unique stingray graphic and composed of durable organic cotton, these burp cloths add fun personality to all the activities you’ll use them for, whether that’s cleaning up spills or wiping your kiddo’s cheek.
THE BRAND STORY: As designers and new moms, best friends Liz Libré and Lizzy Ott found themselves looking for something they couldn’t find: nursery essentials that are childlike, not childish. The Lewis brand began as a line of crib sheets that were both useful and beautiful.
4) Goat-Milk Kidware Striped Onesie & Matching Socks
THE GIFT: This striped onesie gift set is 100% organic cotton and 100% adorable. The beautifully crafted onesie features a hoodie adorned with ears and comes with matching striped socks.
THE BRAND STORY: Roland Bello and Tania Vargas created Goat-Milk Kidware from a desire to dress our children in beautifully crafted, simple clothes inspired by European classics that Tania grew up with. Infused with their own green sensibilities, Goat-Milk Kidware works with a fair-trade factory using 100% organic cotton.
5) Little West Street Crib Gift Set
THE GIFT: This bright and playful organic Crib Gift Set includes an organic reversible quilt and pillow - and the llama theme is absolutely adorable. You can personalize the quilt with your bub’s name—free of charge.
THE BRAND STORY: Samridhi Ganeriwalla founded Little West Street after her son was born and she was having trouble finding quality baby essentials. Today, the Little West Street mission is to provide stylish, luxurious and practical bedding and accessories for little ones all over the world.
6) MiliMili Everybody Naps Set
THE GIFT: A stylish sleep sack for baby and a matching eye-mask for mom, all packaged up in a luxe magnetic gift box? Say no more. MiliMili’s sleep sets are made with eco-friendly bamboo jersey fabric that’s breathable and gentle on sensitive skin.
THE BRAND STORY: MiliMili began as a DIY project by mom and interior designer Rose Bridges, who sewed a sleep sack for a friend’s baby.
FOR TODDLERS
1) Lark Adventurewear Play Dress
THE GIFT: Lark Adventurewear’s Perfect Play Dress is made of bamboo and cotton that naturally provides UPF 50+ to keep harmful UV rays off your toddler.
THE BRAND STORY: While on outdoor excursions with her son, founder Pallavi Golla noticed that while she remained dry and cool in her adult activewear, her son was hot, sweaty and damp in his clothing. She founded Lark Adventurewear to solve that problem.
*ALSO: Bubbsi x Lark Adventurewear PJs + Body Cream Gift Set
THE GIFT: These two mamapreneurs teamed up on a LIMITED EDITION giftset. Luxurious Bubbsi Body Cream keeps skin soft and Lark's special bamboo knit PJs in the Let It Snow print are the snuggliest! Choose from a footie PJ or 2-piece set.
2) Rose & Rex Floating Blocks
THE GIFT: Floating blocks are perfect for making bathtime an opportunity for learning. Colored with food-grade dye and made of 100% plant-based rubber, these blocks give you peace of mind.
THE BRAND STORY: With a B.A. in Anthropology and a minor in Psychology, Allison Klein created Rose & Rex to offer elegantly designed toys that promote imaginative play. Every toy in their collection is selected by education professionals, teachers, and child development experts.

THE GIFT: This scooter enters children's lives at the right time—helping to develop balance, coordination, and confidence—and will continue to be fun for years to come. Micro Kickboard products feature extendable handlebars, so the scooters can grow with children.
THE BRAND STORY: Micro's U.S. partners, Julie and Geoff Hawksworth, focus on the sustainability of their top-rated, award-winning scooters. Not only are the scooters built with extendable and replaceable parts, but customers are also encouraged to pass them down, child to child. This ensures we keep these scooters out of landfills!
4) LG Matching Bomber Jackets
