Baby Gifts for 2019!

Buying for babies is a fun age to shop for, as everything is so darn adorable. If you’re shopping for your babe, you most likely know what stage they are at in their development. By now, you understand what sort of gifts will be the best fit — as well as safe. If shopping for a baby that is not your own — it is best to buy with safety in mind. Thoughtful holiday presents are onesies, soft toys, or any hard toys without many parts. It also never hurts to ask the parent what stage their baby is in development-wise. Are they older, not quite a toddler, but can handle a toy with a few parts? Are they walking? This will help you when searching for the many things out there for babies!

Shopping for a baby is the best, shopping for a baby during the holidays is even more special! Take a look and click through our best baby gifts for 2019.

<p>SPEAKITALY NYC offers stimulating and entertaining lessons for children 0 to 16 years through a wide combination of activities based on the communicative approach anchored in the Common European Framework of Reference: active learning (group work, role plays, etc.) and practice exercises aimed to improve listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Kids will start speaking and using Italian in a very natural way.  Small classes capped at 6 students to make sure each one gets the needed attention and facilitate learners' progress. </p> <p>Our method is driven by a didactic method that is the result of constant updates, professional certifications and more than 10 years of experience in working with non-native speakers from different native languages and levels of knowledge.</p> <p>Our aim is to develop a range of Italian language skills while improving accuracy that will enable the students and participants to interact without stress or feeling rushed. We want to help those in the community really embrace not only the true culture in Italy but the Italian culture within New York City… Who doesn’t love what Italy represents in the kitchen, in history & in the arts?</p> <p>Speakitaly wants to support multilingual families who want to learn a new language or pass along their ancestor’s heritage and culture. Raffaella, the founder said: "We see language awareness and intercultural sensitivity as the milestones for an inclusive society. Italian, like all other languages, is an enrichment and a growth in every way. Vi aspettiamo!"</p>
