These gifts for kids are Miami mommy blogger approved

You might know her as @TaylensMom on Instagram, but her real name is Angelica Calad, and she is one of the driving influencers behind children’s fashions. Not only does Calad help select winners from mood boards and promote products for companies big and small, but the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale graduate also designs products worn by pint-sized fashionistas. Her muses: daughters Taylen and Aleia. “When I became a mom, I tapped into the fashion industry of children,” Calad said. “There wasn’t a lot out there. Nothing stood out to me that I loved, so I started researching more, trying to find lines from international companies and handmade shops no one had ever seen.” Her gift guide: 

SURPRISES INSIDE

“If you are looking for a stylish and unique advent calendar, this Mr. P Paper City Calendar is the one! It’s a super-adorable jewelry box, and in each box there is a charm that turns into a charm bracelet. A little girl’s dream, and a fun gift that keeps on giving.” $16. Merry Love Joy, merrylovejoy.com.

A CLASSIC

“Possibly my best find yet! This Smallstuff Rosaline Wooden Doll Bed is designed with the iconic Danish child’s bed in mind. It’s a classic that is very well made and comes with a mattress for their favorite doll babies!” $175. recessnyc.com.

SWEDISH DESIGN

“This Lundby Smaland Dollhouse is one of the most innovative and fun doll houses on the market. They change the doll house every year based on the fashion that’s going on around them. Known for its Swedish design and remote-control lighting with Bluetooth, it reflects the times we live in.” From $206. amazon.com.

TUNE IN

SNUGGLE UP

KICK BACK

“Celebrities like Taylor Swift wear this line, and now they’re reaching out to the kids’ market. Because every bunny needs one, I love the bold design and fun colors these adorable Minna Parikka Mini Glitter Tail Sneaks come in. Possibly the most attention to detail I have yet seen on a kid’s sneaker.” $281. minnaparikka.com.
