Picture Perfect Personalized …

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 …

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.

When I say Skittles do you think candies in a rainbow of colors or a bowling-type game???? They’re both right answers but today I’m talking about the old European lawn game which inspired ten-pin bowling, candlepin bowling in the US and five-pin bowling in Canada.

I love the idea of incorporating toys into a nursery’s decor and these cheerful Skittles sets will add just the right splash of color and fun.

These sailor skittles would be a great addition to a nautical themed nursery or a Mediterranean inspired room.
