Baby It's Cold Outside! Get A Footmuff!

OK, the weather does not seem to be improving, in fact it seems to be getting worse but you need to bring your 'chic little one' to and fro in the buggy. What to do? A Kaiser Footmuff! It comes in wonderful colours (at least 7) and is resistent to water, wind and dirt ( a plus in London). Inner fleece lining with a cord pull in the head area. It zips down the middle, as opposed to the side zipped muffs, where one side always falls and gets dirty and then needs to be washed ASAP. The bottom part unzips which is ideal for the dirty/wet shoe issues we all face. And if you get the XL size it can fit you 'chic baby' till around 5 years old. Perfection! Available at baby2child.co.uk and retails for 39.99GBP.

Yes, You Can Get Your Child To Sleep!

I know a little helpful secret to get your chic baby excited to go to sleep. What is it you ask? Well I stumbled upon this wonderful concept company called "Books To Bed". They sell an adorably packaged PJ and book, where the PJ is patterned after the artwork from the story book. Clever, no? Motivating for the little one to get ready for bedtime as well, no? I think so. It also makes a great gift because it comes wonderfully packaged. Sizes range from 0-24 months, a few different stories available and they retail at Blossom Mother & Child for 28 GBP.

Angels With Dirty Faces

What do I not like about the online retailer Angels With Dirty Faces? Pretty much nothing!!! It is fabulous. It has amazing clothing, burp cloths, changing mats, bibs and blankets. They have a great selection of fabric prints that are appliqued onto their products. They make wonderful new 'chic baby' gifts or just pick something up for your own' chic baby. The appliqued kimono style bodysuit pictured here goes for 16.00 GBP. But go through the whole website, you will not be disappointed!

New Cath Kidston

I am usually pretty neutral about Cath Kidston, but they have expanded their kids line starting this spring and they have some cool stuff for both 'chic baby' boys and girls. First up, I like both their bibs (6 GBP) and their aprons (8 GBP). I especially like that they have patterns for girls, that even though it is mainly pink, it has other colors like green and blue mixed in. Cute gifting ideas.

I am also loving their little cowboy outfit for 'chic baby boys'. The shirt is 18GBP and the tassle jeans are 25 GBP, although I think the jeans could work for 'chic baby girls' too. You can't see from the website but the shirt also has a cowboy with a lasso on the back.

Name your baby's picture!

As I have mentioned before, I love personalised baby products. I really think it makes a baby's room their own! Well I found a lovely frame from a site called Bundles of Joy,that can be personalised with your 'chic baby's' name. They can also be given as a gift for a birth or any other occasion as well. They cost a mere 15.00GBP and I think they are quite a steal in addition to being absolutely beautiful. Also check out the rest of the site for some other wonderful personalised ideas and gifts.

Personalise your germs!

My baby never really took a dummy (pacifier). Well I am lying, there were those brief encounters in the first few months which lasted to maximum of maybe 5 minutes and of course there is now. Even though my 'chic baby' is a toddler, when playing with other 'chic babies' who still use a dummy, my child becomes fascinated and wants one too and even wants to share! Great, isn't it? Well there is a wonderful website called mydummy.co.uk that personalises them with your baby's name or special saying. This helps the parents or caregivers, differentiate between dummies and help prevent the spread of germs. The dummies are the clever creation of a Danish company that uses Sweden's leading producer of dummies called, Esska. So not only do you get a quality and very original product, it also helps with all the missing, switched or (in my child's case) stolen dummies. They come in fabulous colors and shapes, so take a look at the website. The price starts at 8.95 GBP for a pack of 3 dummies and they would also make a really cute gift!

First Post

Welcome to my first post. I know its late in the christmas shopping season, but I found some cute things I wanted to share with you...maybe a new baby gift for a friend or yourself? I browsed totsplanet.co.uk and found 2 great products. First up is the Diapees and Wipees case. Stylish and clever, its great for keeping your nappys (or diapers, hence the name, American product) and wipes together instead of sorting through your nappy bag looking for one or the other, or keeping it in a big and ugly reclosable food bag, which I was guilty of for a while. It comes it great patterns, boy or girl or even unisex...so Nappy change and wipe in style! Second, who does not need something clever to finish off or pull together your baby's outfit? Well check out the baby socks from Trumpette! It comes in a beautifully packaged box, containing six pairs of socks in different lovely colors, sure to match your baby's outfit, completing your little ones look. They have the Johnny's Football socks for boys or the MaryJane socks for girls and a host of a few other designs as well...you will not stop getting compliments on this foot wear.
