Walmart, Target or Amazon just "not doing it" anymore? Looking for something "new" and unique to gift at your next baby shower? Or, perhaps, you're wanting something a little less toxic and plastic and something a little more eco-friendly and personalized for your own little one.

'Tis the season of wish lists, holiday parties, family gatherings, school programs and practices, traditions and more!

So let's get ahead of it together and this year focus on gifting intentional, well-made, sustainable gifts all the way down to even the ones stuffing the stockings

I'll be the first to admit, baby showers can be tricky. Even after 4 kids of my own, I still find myself struggling to find the *perfect* shower gift. As a crunchy mom myself, I always tend to lean towards all natural, eco friendly, heirloom quality wooden toys that are sustainable and will last for years.

We get it. Christmas shopping can be fun, exciting, and...stressful. But here at Smiling Tree Toys, we mean it when we say we have something for *everyone* on your list, making your holiday shopping a breeze! From newborns who don't need much beyond milk and snuggles, to grandparents who already have everything, we've got you covered. Our keepsake toys and gifts are handmade in our family's woodshop on the Minnesota prairie, so you know you're not only getting beautifully crafted heirlooms, but you're supporting a small family business, too.
