For little Plum or Crispin – these beautiful organic Argyle blankets from the Organic Baby Warehouse are just sublime.

These are the perfect gift for any shower that involves cucumber sandwiches and Mint Juleps. (Shame they don’t earn you any InCircle Points.)

Ta!

I heart hedgehogs, and wish that they were as prolific here as they are in England. Twirls & Twigs uses recycled and scrap notions to make these adorable blankets that would make a perfect shower gift. This hedgehog one being my favourite for a wee lass.

And how perfect is this little elephant one for a baby Republican…

And who doesn’t love a weiner dog…

Twirls & Twigs is not in Paris, so you can have a hedgehog blanket within a fortnight.

Ta!

I love our Aden + Anais swaddler/burb cloths – and consider them a top 5 must have for new green mums. But these diaphanously sheer organic swaddlers from Solana Swaddle Wraps seem delightfully airy and uber comfy for the (hopefully) sweltering upcoming summer.

With matching burp cloths and hats, these Solana baby things would make a gorgeous and useful gift.

And as every new mum knows, you just can’t have you enough burb cloths.

Organic Blankees is a beautiful store that makes monogrammed organic blankets.  Perfect for anyone who loves Kelly Green, Scottie dogs, or grew up in a house where at least one sofa was from Horchow (you know who you are).

These classic blankets are perfect for the parents that plan to baptize baby in Newport or on Martha’s Vineyard, where they have an aunt that can have an entire conversation without moving her lips.  She was a Wellesley girl, you know. Oh, do be a dear and get us a martini.

Your friend that will name her son with something that ends in “the third”, or her daughter Grace, Poppy or Sloane - will treasure this monogrammed binky forever, and will be sure to have it stored carefully away when the little one is old enough for sear sucker.

Give an Organic Blankee and you’ll have a fountain penned, Mrs. John L. Strong “Thank You” note within the week.   (You know how precious those are now…. Dreadful, dreadful.  Mother is still beside herself.)  Honestly, it’s worth it if just to receive the vintage note.

Well done, old thing.
