Baby & Child Gifts

Willow Road

Scarsdale; willowroad.com

Besotted grandparents and doting aunties will go gaga over this shop’s custom “gift bundles.” Comprising clothing (onesies with such cheeky sayings as “Current Family Favorite”), accessories (unicorn bath mitts), and toys (taxi rattles), they can be organized by occasion, sex, age, and price point. And do check out its darling matching sibling and “coming home from the hospital” selfie-fabulous fashions. (Or you could spend months knitting a scratchy blanket that’ll live in a drawer. Your choice.)
