Picture Perfect Personalized …

April 14, 2014 By admin

Personalized baby quilts make awesome baby gifts and I’m loving these handmade map quilts by artist Emily Fischer.  They’re available in a choice of 11 US cities as well as Paris and you can have up to three locations (birth hospital, home, favorite park, landmarks, etc.) hand embroidered on the map as well as the baby’s name and birthday.

Picture Perfect Personalized Baby Quilts for Globetrotting Babes

The hand-knotted quilts are made of natural cotton and 100%cotton batting.  Cotton loops are stitched to the binding so it can double as a wall hanging when the child is older.

I think these would be a very special keepsake for a baby’s nursery and an amazing baby shower gift (they can send a gift card and parents can have the personalization done once the child is born).

Best Baby Present under $20 …

April 9, 2014 By admin

If you’ve got a new babe in your life, I’ve got a suggestion for the best baby present under $20!  Little Sapling Toys wooden teethers are great for babies to chew and grasp and I’m loving their states collection featuring handcrafted teethers in the shapes of almost all 50 states!  They are a total score at $12 each and a gift for the environment too as Little Sapling Toys plants a tree through Trees for the Future for every toy sold!  Win, win.

Globetrotting Mommy: Best Baby Present under $20 for Globetrotting Babes

Made from Hard Rock Maple, a non-splintering wood, these teethers are naturally anti-bacterial, non-allergenic, and non-toxic. 
They vary in size but most are about 3″x3″ and they are all sanded satin smooth with no exterior finish.  Choose the state where the babe was born or the hometown or college states of the child’s parents.  Best of all, they can be engraved with the baby’s name so you never have to worry about walking off with the wrong toy at a play date.

 

Safe for all ages, the wooden teether arrives ready for gifting in a cotton drawstring carrying pouch with a tag that includes the wood used, a bit about Little Sapling Toys’ family business and care instructions.

They’d be a great baby shower gift and fun to use to decorate a baby’s nursery too.

March 24, 2014 By admin

Planning a safari themed nursery?  Looking to add a little Indian themed design into your foyer?  How cute is this Ellie Side Table from Serena & Lily.  This table is just the piece of furniture that can grow from baby to teenager.  I think it would look great in any globetrotting kid’s room or playroom or the den or the foyer or the bathroom…

Chinese Astrology: The Year of …

February 26, 2014 By admin

Hey baby, what’s your Chinese sign? If you’ve ever eaten in a Chinese restaurant, you know that the Chinese zodiac is based on your birth year with each year commemorating an animal and their attributes.  The Chinese New Year has arrived and this is the Year of the Horse. According to Chinese astrology, those born during this year are quick-witted, chatty and popular!

I think it would be fun to incorporate some cute horse themed accessories into your baby’s nursery design.  Here are my favorite picks:

A rocking horse is a nursery classic and this Playsam Rocking Horse in Red will add a nice dash of color.  I love the sleek modern design.

I love Jonathan Adler’s whimsical styles and this horse table lamp would work great in a nursery or playroom.

This cute Pull Along Double Pony from Land of Nod would be perfect for a baby boy.

December 4, 2013 By admin

Does your kid dance around singing Ylvis’s What does the fox say? all the time or does it just seem that way? Did you know that the now famous comedy duo hails from Norway like Anna and Elsa? In case you can’t get that song out of your head, here are some cute and foxy gift ideas you may want to check out just in time for the holidays…

The book is coming out next week!  No lie, the What Does the Fox Say? book, is available for pre-order.
