Ultimate Chicago Gift Guide: Designer Duds for Tots

Eating local is all the rage. Why not shop local too?

Check back here every day for a classically Chicagoan take on the holiday gift guide. Here, you’ll find either a sophisticated or fun holiday gift item made by a Chicagoan, produced by Chicagoans, inspired by Chicagoans or sold exclusively in Chicago.

FOR THE DISCRIMINATING PARENT (OR AUNT OR UNCLE)

The swanky, kid-centric store SugaBabies specializes in decadent gifts for the young’uns. Case in point? The above-pictured leather baby bib, $45, by Love Paris. One might argue that the bib is so tony it’s not suitable for eating. But isn’t that the whole point of a gift? A doting aunt or uncle can gift a want – not a need – so why not?

Find SugaBabies in the Lacuna Artists Lofts at 2150 S. CanalPort, Suite 5B-6. Sun-Times readers can cop a 10 percent discount by mentioning this gift guide.
