Not everyone loves chocolate at Easter (although mine’s a Montezuma’s dark eco egg if anyone’s asking). Alfie’s not a huge fan of sweet treats, so I like to find something different. I usually end up plumping for a Playmobil egg as they’re always a hit, but here are few eggsquisite (sorry) goodies I came across in my search.

I spotted these plush toys over at Burp Boutique and immediately fell in love with the yellow monster - it’s too caute and will be perfect for my new baba. The toys not only look fab, but Noodoll are environmentally aware – toys are made with love and hand-finished in the UK and cost from £16.50.  Noodoll has friends, too – they’ve been teaming up with talented illustrators and designers including Donna Wilson, Lucky Boy Sunday, Gemma Correll and Harriet Russell. Check out the stationery and prints as well.

We’re big fans of Raplapla (aka fashion designer Erica Perrot)’s quirky soft toys, and this latest offering would make the most wonderful gift for a new baby. The comfort blanket is made from organic cotton with a crochet trim and embroidered face and it comes in a beautiful fabric envelope. A great companion for a little one. £21.95, Little Baby Company.

With a name like Miau it’s clearly supposed to be a cat, but I think it’s more than a little owlish. Anyway, who cares? It’s completely divine and the perfect companion for mini stylistas. Designed by Heiko Hillig for Naef Toys, it’s made from untreated, eco-friendly wood and finished with non-toxic paint, so it totally safe for little teethers to chew on. There’s also a pram string and dummy clip if you like to be matchy matchy. €24.95, Wannekes.
