PHOTOS Hilary Duff has an extra-special shopping assistant

Hilary Duff did some last-minute Christmas shopping with the help of her own personal Santa last weekend.

Hilary looked casual-but-cute in distressed skinny jeans, black boots, an oversized grey sweater and high ponytail. Still, 22-month-old Luca Comrie stole the show in his camo pants and Santa-inspired stocking cap.

At one point — while carrying Luca in one arm and the package in the other — Hilary looked slightly exacerbated. She previously spoke honestly with Us Weekly about the unique frustrations of motherhood.

“Babies don’t come with a manual and you don’t always know what’s going on,” the 26-year-old said. “So it’s easy to get frustrated and it’s easy to blame yourself — especially being sleep-deprived and on a hormonal roller coaster!”

Although Hilary’s focusing most of her attention these days on motherhood, she recently appeared in Two and a Half Men and has the upcoming Flock of Dudes movie in post-production. Still, she is best known for playing the title character in Disney’s Lizzie McGuire, she has acted steadily ever since the series ended. (Sad side-note: Daniel Escobar, who played Hilary’s teacher on the show, died last week at the age of 49 from diabetes complications.)
