First Play Sports Bag by Melissa & Doug: Review & Giveaway – Ends 08/23 – US & Canada

Welcome to Baby Shower Gift Picks, Contest Corner’s newest feature! This gift guide aims to help out those who are looking for the perfect gift for an expectant mom. For those of us who don’t have children yet, deciding on a gift can be tricky. What do moms really need? How can you be sure that you’re picking something that is truly practical? Baby Shower Gift Picks will introduce you to cool new products for parents – so whether you are expecting yourself, or just need some suggestions for a nice present, this column will provide you with some ideas!

Today we are featuring Gummy Lump toys!

Gummy Lump carries a variety of fun toys for children ranging from infant to 5 years and up. They recently sent me a First Play Sports Bag by Melissa & Doug, so that I could get an idea of the sort of products they carry. This set is for babies 6 months and up, and comes with four darling plush sports balls and a little plastic carrying bag.

From Gummy Lump’s website: “These multi-textured toys made with ultra-soft materials will rattle; jingle; squeak and crinkle in little hands. They’ll delight any youngster and help develop fine motor skills and hand/eye coordination; plus stimulate tactile senses! Multi-piece sets are self-storing and great for travel.”

I think this set is just adorable! I love how versatile and timeless these toys are. I think this would be a perfect gift idea for any expectant parent – mom and dad will appreciate having a great set of classic toys on hand, and baby will have lots of fun filling and emptying the bag and listening to the rattle of the smiley plush toys.
