Above: Kids love to claim things as their own; give them customized bookplates with designs from vintage childrens’ books from the 1920s. Made by Oiseaux Vintage Paperie, who describes herself as an “artist-illustrator-designer-vintage book lover.” She’s also a mother of two, based in LA. (I can vouch for these bookplates; I ordered a set for my baby sister a few Christmases past, and they’re beautiful.) Shown here in Under the Sea and White Lilies; $16.95 for a set of 24.

Above: A gift that’s half for you and half for your child: The Ion Lamp is made in the US and comes with a black or white porcelain base and a red, black, or tan twisted cord (the on/off toggle switch means your child can kill the light in no time when she hears you coming); $99 from Schoolhouse Electric.
