our aden and anais swaddling blankets are the most popular around. the lightweight, ultra soft and breathable 100% cotton muslin fabric makes them the perfect choice for swaddling a baby. the open weave of the muslin fabric allows the baby’s body temperature to regulate itself naturally. plus, the more you wash it, the softer the fabric gets, so it's gentle on the skin.

the many benefits of swaddling include helping baby sleep better, reducing colic and fussiness by imitating the secure feeling of being in the womb, keeping baby warm, and keeping baby comfortable during breastfeeding. with their large size (each measures 47 inches by 47 inches), it can be useful as a stroller cover to protect from sun, wind, and insects, a nursing shield, swaddle, blanket, a burping cloth and more.

check out some of the latest stylish patterns including cupcakes, fairies, camouflage, alphabet letters, and stars. with so many fun styles to choose from and multiple uses, it is the PERFECT gift for the new baby. if you need some tips on how to wrap a baby, be sure to pick up a copy of your very own baby gami. have fun and get FREE shipping on any purchase of $75 or more. enter code: babywrap at checkout.


happy "swaddle" shopping!

feel that chill in the air? fall is certainly here and a frosty winter is not too far behind. it's time to stay nice and cozy in a soft, oh-so-fuzzy and warm fleece poncho by skipping hippos. they are super easy to put on and very fun to wear.

the stunning color combination and beautiful trim details (especially the tassel on the hood and dangling pompoms) are extra adorable and sure to create attention.

skipping hippos designer gives the following advice: "if you and your daughter are hoping for a low profile, dash out un-noticed errand, don't put the poncho on her. people will stop you, people will notice and people will talk about your beautiful little girl in her cute little poncho." we could not agree more!

these adorable ponchos are the ideal shower gifts for new babies and make great birthday and christmas gifts for little girls. sizes range from 6-12 months to 6 years. still looking for a costume idea this halloween? pick up a red one, add a basket and voila! toddler version of little red riding hood.


happy "poncho" shopping!!

it's scary to be in the dark. with less than three weeks left until we have to turn our clock an hour earlier, we want to shed some light to the little ones in your life.

these magical nightlights by white rabbit england will sure get you major kudos and be the center of attention to your child's bedroom or nursery. they are made of porcelain and hand-painted in delicate, natural colors with whimsical woodland fairy scenes and quaint cottages.

each enchanting nightlight looks as if it were straight from the pages of a beautifully illustrated fairytale. at night, peer into the windows of the storybook cottage and see the little white rabbits who live there hiding inside, or visit the fairy's toadstool home where she is hanging her wings to dry surrounded by her woodland friends. stop by the mushroom of bramble the elf with his friends, lizard hedgehog and mole. look out for our white rabbit hiding somewhere amongst the foliage!

let the soothing, gentle glow of dancing elves, fairies, and faraway cottages charm your little ones to sleep dreaming away of the enchanted forest. no need to fear darkness... let there be light!

happy "nightlight" shopping!
