Baby Gift Guide: $30 and Under
A few weeks ago, I shared an affordable toddler gift guide which you can find here. Maclan has since celebrated his first birthday and walked (crawled) away with some fun new stuff to play with. I also took inventory of the toys from when Maddie was a baby that are still in our rotation. Here are some of our favorites under $30:

Kidz Delight Tech Set Toy Trio - I have been on the hunt for the most realistic looking toy phone and remote since they are all Maclan is after these days! This set looks pretty impressive and is at the top of Mac's Christmas list.
Skip Hop Silver Lining Cloud Ball Trio - Fun fact! Madeleine appears on the packaging for these plush baby rattle type balls. They are a go-to gift of mine because they can be used as early as the newborn stage on a playmat or carseat mobile.
VTech Smart Shots Sports Center - a fan favorite (Thanks Rose!), I think everyone in our house has been caught playing with this one lately!
My First Sports Bag - I love that these are plush. They are a toy I don't mind leaving in Mac's crib now that he is older. Madeleine is obsessed with filling up little bags with her toys and I am sure Maclan will be too
LeapFrog Shapes and Sharing Picnic Basket - Maddie will still play with this today which makes Maclan gravitate to it even more!
TOMY Toys Hide & Squeak Eggs - this cute set also incorporates shape and color matching.
Green Toys Construction Vehicles - our basement has been dominated by girl toys (and golf clubs) but Maclan is quickly making in his mark. These were our first trucks! I have loved this brand for a while - they are made of 100% recycled milk jugs!
Oball Collapse & Stack Ball Toys - These are good take along toys as they collapse and stack.
Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn Smart Stages Piggy Bank - This has different levels of learning so its great for both Mac and Maddie.
