It’s that time of year again—when booze and presents (er, egg nog and time with family) becomes way more tempting than seeking out cool new finds for babies and tots. So we’re signing off to celebrate the holidays. Warmest wishes to all . . . we’ll see you in January!

On the first day of Christmas
my true love sent to me
A baby in a Puj Tub

On the second day of Christmas
my true love sent to me
Two muslin blankies,
And a baby in a Puj Tub

We’ve never met a mom who isn’t hooked on Diapers.com. So we imagine you’ll all be psyched to hear that the baby essentials emporium has started same-day delivery service in Manhattan (sorry, borough moms, but they tell us your time will come soon).

As New York City moms, most of us have bought something from Skip Hop—whether it’s a super-functional changing pad, a drying rack that doesn’t hog up all the counter space, or a tasteful play mat. Founder Ellen Diamant, who started Skip Hop with her husband in their New York apartment, understands the plight of city parents, and creates products with us in mind.

We trust you’ve got the First Day of School outfit and backpack under control. But here are a few more essentials to help your tot (and you) survive the transition to nursery school.
