When it comes to gifts for life events like births or weddings, I am that person who always goesoff-registry. It requires more thought and time, but I find deep satisfaction in picking out something surprising that, based on other things someone asked for, I suspect they’ll like. It’s easy enough for weddings, as most people are looking for things they want to keep forever, whether for theirkitchen,dining, orliving spaces. But it can be far trickier forbabies, because most times parents want infant bodysuits ornurseryequipment or burping cloths ordevelopmental toysthat will long be disposed of or forgotten by the time the kid knows who Uncle Tony is.
I struck off-baby-registry gold, however, when I discovered that German toy-maker Steiff — whose “luxury” stuffed playthings can go for three or four digits, especially if vintage — sells some of itsmost adorable toys on Amazon(which admittedly isn’t the first place I turn to for unique gifts). A lot of the cutest ones are $35 or less, and although Steiff sells similarly priced toys on its own website, there’s something about buying them on Amazon that makes the process seem more convenient (likely because forPrime memberslike myself, many of the toys come with free two-day shipping; ones that do not can command heftier shipping fees).
The 140-year-old company invented the teddy bear — a known crib staple — so I know its stuff is nursery-friendly. Most important, as Steiff’s vintage items show, the toys last (and can even get more valuable with age), meaning they’re likely things that the new babies in my life will hold on to and can remember me by for years to come. The below sampling ofSteiff stuffed animals sold by Amazonincludes some of my go-tos, like the duckling and elephant, along with others that showcase the collection’s delightful range.
