The Cutest Bookends for Little …

By

Story time is a favorite for kids of all ages. If you’re looking for a fun gift for literary loving jet setters, look no further than these airplane bookends from Maple Landmark.  They’re made from locally sourced Vermont maple and pine and painted with non-toxic finishes.  The wheels, propellers and figures are fixed so these are completely baby-proof.

I think they’d be a nice addition to any baby nursery or playroom.  Pair it with some favorite books and I think this would be a great baby shower gift or birthday present for any globetrotting kid.

Picture Perfect Personalized …

By

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 …

By

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.
Best Baby Present, Baby present under $20, Under $20 baby gift, Globetrotting Mommy

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.

I think the red and brown would be the cutest with a little denim dress but the animal print styles are great for those fashion forward babes. They’re a nice compliment to the western-inspired fall fashions I’ve been seeing on the runways.  They’re a great baby shower gift too.

Adventure Awaits: Paddington …

By

Do you remember Paddington Bear who was found in London’s Paddington Railway Station sitting on his suitcase? I always loved him and his adorable little blue coat and note “Please look after this bear. Thank you.” The talking teddy bear has been busy since I was a kid and his latest project is a worldwide collaboration with babyGap.

Available for a very limited time, the collection (sizes 0-24-months) is available at all babyGap stores as well as a special pop-up shop on Paddington Station in London and two in-store Paddington branded boutiques in Gap’s New York and Tokyo flagship stores. The Paddington Bear spring collection features some adorable rainy day outfits, comfy clothes and red, white and blue classics. Here are some of my favorites.

Chinese Astrology: The Year of …

By

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.
