Pretty Little Things

The best part of shopping for baby gifts is being able to indulge in purchasing pretty little things that the new parents might not purchase for themselves, from sweet layette pieces to cashmere baby sweaters. Three piece layette sets for baby boys or baby girls now come in lovely prints and are not only pleasing to the eye, but practical as well. In the last couple of years kimono style layette sets by Tea Collection, Mad Sky, Tra La La, and Baby Nay have also become popular, in no small part due to the fact that there is no tugging the top over baby's head. Comfort is the key in layette items -- look for 100% cotton or other soft fabrics that won't clash with baby's delicate skin.
