The Purple Giraffe is a super cute children’s boutique. This place has a warm and inviting atmosphere as well as friendly staff to help with all of your shopping needs. Not sure what you are looking for? Just ask and they are happy to help you find the perfect gift!
From children’s books and toys to adorable clothing and teethers they are sure to have something for every kid on your list. You can even find coordinating pajamas and outfits for your kids. Hello, perfect family picture attire!
The best part is you won’t find a lot of these items at your big box stores so you can be sure it is a unique gift that won’t be a duplicate for your favorite little person. 🙂 If you are local to Oconomowoc, WI be sure to check it out!

2. Scentsory Bath & Body Boutique
Scentsory Bath & Body Boutique is the cutest little shop! When you walk in you are instantly met with wonderful smells of all of the yummy smelling products! There are so many options to choose from. This is a great place to get gifts or shop for yourself or both! 🙂
Scentsory Bath & Body Boutique has options for a bit older kids to teens and adults! Everything is handmade and that is evident by the great quality. You can find a huge selection of bath bombs, bath salts, bar soaps, scrubs and shaker soaps.
One of the most popular products is the Peppermint Orange
Walnut Scrub. I have personally tried this and currently use it. It is so refreshing and makes my skin feel amazing! The bath bombs and bath salts are also a wonderful way to relax and enjoy some much needed “me time”.
If you are looking for something fun for kids on your list check out the shaker soaps and bath bombs! Scentsory even does parties. You can schedule a birthday party or just a fun pampering party. Such a great idea for even a fun mother/daughter outing!

3. Smiling Tree Toys
Smiling Tree Toys has the cutest wooden toys for every kid on your list this year! They put a lot of detail into each of their pieces so you can be sure you are getting a toy that can be treasured for generations to come! They even have the option to personalize them if you want.
From wooden teethers, puzzles, memory blocks and christmas ornaments you are sure to find something! Not shopping for a kid this year? No worries, they even have items for your home that make great gifts for adults too!
Porter loves his teethers he has from Smiling Tree Toys and his “My First Christmas” ornament is all ready to go too!
Ella will be getting this name puzzle which will be great for learning to spell her name as well as just learning to do a puzzle. But she doesn’t know she’s getting this yet so be sure to keep it a secret! 🙂
Then there is the keepsake blocks. This was a gift for Porter’s baptism and it is the perfect piece to display in his room as a reminder of his baptism and a beautiful piece he can keep with him as he grows.
Be sure to check out their website here to get a one of a kind gift that can be treasured for years to come! You can also follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
