Tiny Bubbles

Call them rompers, bubbles, or onezies, but they are the sweetest, most practical spring and summer clothing for baby girls! Of course our favorites are made with wonderful, whimsical prints in comfortable cotton and adorned with unique trims and accents like tiers of ruffles and three dimensional flowers. You'll see more and more of these as the season progresses, but check out lines like Baby Baubles and Tra La La for their current selection.

Brazilian Beach Babies

Brazilians love their beaches and designer swimwear, even for the smallest of tykes. Submarine makes beautiful swimwear for kids from boy cut one piece swimsuits to itsy bitsy bikinis, pastels to bold colors. Add three dimensional accents and unique trims and you have very special swimwear for babies, toddlers, and little girls.

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.

Picture This...

Now that you've gotten back all the holiday photos where to put them? We love the beautiful linen covered photo albums by Terra Traditions. Each album holds 200 photos on acid free, archive friendly pages, with a space to write a short memo beside each photo. With several styles to choose from you'll be organized in no time! These photo albums also make great baby shower gifts, birthday gifts, or gifts that just say "I love you!".

Sweet Things for Little Sweethearts

Hard to believe, but Valentine's Day is not far off. In between exchanging cards, gift your little sweetheart with a fun Valentine's Day dress from Kidcosmic, or an embellished tshirt from Lemon, and when it's time to tuck your little one into bed, you can end the day with a pair of Valentine's Day pajamas or Valentine's Day baby unionsuit, both by At Home.

Sibling Gifts

Moving into the role of big brother or big sister can be rough on a kid, so help to ease the strain by acknowledging older kids with a sibling gift. Our favorites are big brother kits and big sister kits filled with activities, a tshirt, and something just for big bro or sis. We also like cooking kits -- activities just for the older sibling and mommy or daddy to do together. Even the smallest token sent with a baby gift can make a huge difference in diplomatic relations!
