Because only the very best will do for your little ones, we've curated a list of the very best luxury gifts for the playground set. While we don't believe in around-the-clock spoiling, treating them to a little something special here and there (especially during the holidays) is a practice that we stand by. Check out these luxe finds for your precious tots — from itty-bitty babes to bigger kids who love to live large.
This is how the poshest of babies venture out in the cold — in Ralph Lauren's faux-fur channel-quilted bunting ($205, originally $275).
Not your typical kids' room furnishing, Jennifer Delonge's Ava Child Chair ($519-649) may be pint-size, but the style is all adult.
J.Crew Baby's "The Dude" sweater ($145) is the ultimate in infant luxury. Doesn't every baby deserve to snuggle up in cashmere?
Miami-based Republic bikes are made for the design-conscious rider, with customization options galore. Now, these "imagination machines" ($349) are available in a limited-edition kiddie size. Whether they're carting around your puppy, starting a portable lemonade stand, or transporting favorite toys in the spacious front cart, these clever contraptions can be customized to your child's liking.
An exclusive to Neiman Marcus, Melissa & Doug's Tinker Play Piano ($155) is a luxe way to introduce the ivories to your little one.
It's totally over the top, but how beautiful would the Hermès Avalon Blanket ($870) look tossed over a cream-colored glider?
Sure, you could get your baby a sleep sack from one of the big box baby stores, or you could head to Barneys New York. This superluxe infant sleep bag by Anatology ($165) is made in France and has two adjustable settings for 0-6 months and 6-18 months.
We know . . . needlepoint baby booties ($56) are hardly a necessity, but isn't that the fun of them? We love By Paige's sweet, tot-friendly designs, and mom wouldn't mind a matching pair either!
She'll be the belle of the Winter season in Milly Minis's Metallic Tweed A-Line Coat ($206, originally $275). Style-conscious moms will wish this coat came in their size, too!
Joyfolie's Elery boots ($84) come in cream faux-patent leather that wipes clean, adding an element of practicality to your little princess' holiday soles.
Retro styling makes the Lil Dutchi ($299) a cool choice for early cyclists. It features thinner, lighter tubing than its adult counterpart and is available with or without training wheels.
For the one on the way, Baby CZ's Take Me Home Set ($198) comes in pink, blue, or white and includes a cardigan, pants, hat, and baby booties, all wrapped up in luxurious packaging.
The cool, mod design of The Land of Nod's Bungalow Play Home ($699) is only available in limited quantities, so if you're considering this upscale hangout, act fast! The bungalow is constructed from solid pine and low-emission engineered wood walls — plus plenty of chalkboard walls and a thoughtful little mail slot.
Ralph Lauren's velour slippers ($34) feature moccasin-style stitching and fun-to-grab pom-poms.
Storytime has never been quite this colorful! The Philips/Disney Friends of Hue StoryLight ($160) is an app-enabled Mickey Mouse-shaped light that coordinates colored lights with ebooks read on an iPad. With more than 16,000 color combinations, the Mickey-shaped light displays every color imaginable on the wall as parents read the Disney-inspired tales and kids move the cursor around the page.
The ultimate first set of wheels. The Dexton Mercedes-Benz 300 Ride-On Toy ($380) will have your little one cruising the neighborhood in serious style.
Keep little hands toasty in Oeuf's adorable Alpaca Bunny Mittens ($42, originally $52) — a sweet and whimsical stocking stuffer.
Perhaps the most exciting thing to come out of Bugaboo this year is the company's three-year collaboration with denim company Diesel. The Bugaboo Cameleon Diesel Collection Stroller ($1,299) launched earlier in November and is full of fun military details — a mesh canopy (a first for a traditional Bugaboo hood), leatherette handles and bumper bar, a military pouch on the back of the seat, yellow shocks, cool hubcaps, and some really fun accessories.
RH Baby & Child's faux-fur bean bags ($179, originally $199) come in six shades of solid and animal-printed faux fur. Also check the site for faux fur jackets, booties, hoods, buntings, and blankets!
Burberry's Merrison high-top sneakers ($195-$215) come in sizes for kids 1-8 and feature bright red laces and a side zipper for easy on and off.
