Being a Miami kid isn’t just a label; it’s a way of life. To wit: holiday gifts that will keep your little one in a sunny state of mind.

Barefoot Baby
Stylish yet simple, a pair of custom-made sandals from Tuccia di Capri (1630 Pennsylvania Avenue, Miami Beach; 305-534-5865) can be worn all year round.

Low-Key Kid
Tired of that little old lady who whispers hush? Say Good Night Florida instead with a local version of the classic bedtime tale (The Bookstore in the Grove, 3399 Virginia Street, Coconut Grove; 305-443-2855).

Beach Bum
The beach is their playpen, so stock it with a sand play set (Genius Jones, 49 Northeast 39th Street; 305-571-2000) made of environmentally friendly materials.

Wild Child
Adopt an animal at Miami Metrozoo (12400 Southwest 152nd Street; 305-251-0400) and receive a plush version in a Metrozoo tee, adoption certificate, picture, and decal.

And let their day in the sun begin.
