Your favorite little swee’pea will love this pod! The Sweet Pea Five-Piece Organic Layette Set from Baby Aspen ($52.95) is a great gift on multiple levels. First, it’s 100% organic cotton, so it’s earth-friendly and snuggly soft. It comes in a woven-wood basket featuring a blanket, footie PJs, cap, bib and pea-pod rattle, so it’s adorable. And oh-by-the-way it’s as sweet as a fresh pea in a salad, so your recipients will eat it up. Supersize the love!
It’s like sticking your baby in a toaster – without the legal ramifications. The Toddler Feet Free Stroller Blanket Set from Napwell ($99.99) is the ultimate blanky on the go. Lay down the liner, which opens for 3 or 5 point harnesses, and throw on the blanket. Baby’s feet remain free to dangle, without mucking up the blanket, while their core stays toasty. Fits most conventional strollers. They’ll be…well, warm as toast.
Well, this is interesting! Think Mardi Gras every day with the La Folie Maden Hatter Hat. ($44) It’s totally hand-knit out of baby soft cotton, with all kinds of crazy wool…stuff all around. Eh, they’ll love wearing it, party or no.

You’ll love that their good clothes stay clean while they’re working.

Versatile and sharp. For your baby. Sorry, dad.
Remember that paper-thin sleeping bag you got from Sears? This is way better. (And way cuter.)

Baby will never want to get out of the soft cuddly bag. You’ll have to rip them out for machine washing. But they’ll be back.
