If you’re a fan of the popular gingerbread blanket by Mamas and Papas, you’ll love these blankets by relatively new baby gear company, Lily + Sid. Available in three colourways that also have boy appeal, they’re 100% cotton in a thick knit and look great in cribs and prams. £35 each If you’re a co-ordinator, [...]

Frute Juce Baby Vests

I’m always on the lookout for cool baby vests, alternatives to cutesy slogan-strewn offerings – just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be stylish. We featured Roddy & Ginger’s fab owl print bodysuits a while back and I’m also loving Crib’s bright orange zebra design and Gossypium’s organic Farm vest (currently on [...]

FLATOUTbears

There’s a new luxury gift in town in the form of FLATOUTbears, 100% pure Australian sheepskin that’s hand cut in the shape of a bear. Favoured by the likes of A-listers like Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, Tom Cruise, and Jennifer Garner, your baby can snuggle with them like a comforter and once they’re a [...]

Don’t Panic Cards

If you’re looking for a birth congratulations card that’s a bit different from the traditional bunnies and building blocks, then Dippylulu‘s contemporary take on a Second World War poster could be just what you’re after. Don’t panic it’s only a baby! comes in pink, blue and (my favourite) sage green and is modelled on the [...]

Toffee Moon

Elli writes… Toffee Moon is a new luxury baby brand which specialises in soft and sweet clothes for babies from newborn to one year. Browsing the range took me back to those early baby days when you’re wrapping your precious little one in snuggly natural fabrics in a palette of creams, pale pinks and pale [...]

Bholu Bubalahs

My addiction to all things quirky means that I’m eschewing traditional teddies for more unusual toys for the little one. I couldn’t resist one of the Amoeba rattles by Lipfish that BG featured last year and now I’ve fallen in love with Bholu’s adorable Bubalahs for their unique personalities. The brainchild of Australian designer Jodie [...]

Present & Correct ABC Prints

I admit to being slightly obsessed with alphabets (I can’t help it, it’s the sub-editor in me) but I defy anyone not to love these reversible circus-themed ABC prints from chic paper-goods store Present & Correct. As they’re vintage (dating from the 60s), designs vary and availability is limited, but currently you’ll find a lion [...]

Best Mail Order Cakes for Gifting New Mums

Elli writes… One of my treasured memories of the first days of motherhood was the outpouring of warm wishes brought to us by the postman every morning. If this just sounds like a fancy way of saying ‘we got loads of swag’ it’s absolutely not meant to; we were genuinely touched by the messages and [...]

Swankie Blankie Blankets

Elli writes…Everyone remembers their ‘bankie’. Mine was pale yellow waffle with a satin trim and now lives in the airing cupboard back at my family home, with the frayed edges to prove how much it was loved. My little girl likes to sleep with her blankie pinned either side of her face with her fists, achieving [...]

Hot New Baby Gift! All About Baby Journal

I’ve often found with baby journals that they fall into two brackets – so twee my head hurts or overpriced. Thankfully, the All About Baby Journal is not only a stunning, modern take on age old gift but it’s great value too at £16.

Pictures from Sweet Dimple

I am always drawn to baby items with lettering on them. I can’t quite explain it. Perhaps all that time I spent choosing Little One’s name means I am still rather proud of it, and desperate to fill my house with items that have it written on? Either way, I found myself making a beeline [...]
