They’ve been coming out with such cute and clever designs that make the perfect baby shower or new baby gift.

Box of Cupcakes – These onesies come in a box shaped like tasty looking little cupcakes. They even offer an organic variety for all you health nuts. Talk about sweet!

Lollipop Romper – These striped rompers come wrapped up on a stick as a delicious “lollipop” – a perfect little something for baby. (The red & white striped romper would make a great holiday gift as it looks just like a little peppermint!)

Crayon Rompers – Colorful rompers packaged like a box of crayons – such a bright idea!

The Baby Bunch really knows how to present the perfect gift – the packaging alone will make any new parent or parent-to-be swoon!

Kicky Pants is doing it right. Their line of Bamboo Basics is so scrumptious, adorable and eco-friendly – what’s not to love?!

A friend gave me their Bamboo Dress when my daughter was born, and now I put her in it every chance I get. (Paired with some funky tights from Hanna Andersson, it’s been the look of our winter season.)

This winter they introduced their Bamboo Knit items, and trust me these pieces are dreamy to the touch. You’ve got to feel it to believe it.

Your little ones will love kicking back in these clothes.

All of their super-soft products are created with 100% organic cotton, made from sustainable and natural materials. And the colors are so rich and beautiful – Kiwi, Pomegranate, Blueberry, Clementine… yum.

Among my faves…

Encore Bib – I love the idea behind this bib: It has two layers. So, you can easily snap off the topper when it gets too messy during meal times and snap on a new clean one. Ideal for when you’re out and about.

Bottle Cozy – Like a traditional tea cozy, it keeps your baby’s bottle warm longer. We often get my daughter’s bottle ready before her bath, so by the time she is cleaned, dressed and ready for bed, her milk has lost it’s warm edge. Now, this little number will help keep the temperature just right for her.

Playtime Wrap – When you’re just hanging around the house with a little one, there’s really no need to get your baby all dolled up. This wrap is simple, soft, and it gives them enough room to move and play. Plus, this is a great newborn gift to give as it makes diaper changes super easy. (They even have a cozy one made with terry cloth for bath time.)

First of all, let me say on the record that I love pediped shoes. They are adorable and if my son likes wearing them, they must be comfortable!

From December 17- 31, pediped will reduce the price of select shoe styles and then donate 50% of the sales from those shoes to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. (Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.)

Although pediped initially pledged $50,000, their goal is to now double that pledge.

What a great way to get into the spirit of giving this holiday season!

If you’re a stylish eco-mom like Julia Roberts, you’ll love the cute designs of Fig Kids Organic Baby Clothes.

Or, when you’ve got a lot to tote around town, hit the road like Jessica Alba, Naomi Watts and Sheryl Crow – grab a fabulous Bumble Bag.

And if you’ve got a hot tot on the run like Salma Hayek, cover her tooties in kuuru Baby Shoes. If they’re good enough for Valentina… they’re good enough for your little one.

The textile designs and furnishings created by Serena & Lily make us giddy here at The Cradle. Lovely, clean, and fresh – their style will give any nursery that extra special touch. Oh man, we’ve got a serious crush on S & L!

So what are they crushing on? Serena Dugan, one half of the dynamic duo, shares her current top faves with The Cradle.

1. My Rye Serena & Lily crib bedding set in my son Fisher’s nursery.  I love every crib set I design, but this one I swoon for.  Something about the color combination of the ocean blue and camel, and pattern and texture mix of the bandana print, ticking stripe, and natural canvas is, I think, quintessential little boy – A little bohemian and a little old-fashioned at the same time.

2. Any Taurus artwork or memorabilia (my baby’s zodiac sign).  I’m loving that look into the future of his personality, and I’m totally into the little bit of kitsch that it adds to his nursery!

3. Fisher’s little itty-bitty Patagonia fleece vest, with the retro label on the chest. Cutest thing I’ve ever seen.

4. Original art by Sara Westover, who works for us.  Her abstract ink-on-paper pieces are delicate and inspiring.  I just bought one for Fisher’s nursery. (Note: For information on Sara’s art, email her at sarabethmatson@gmail.com).

5. The organic “monkey pants” by Sckoon.  They are the cutest cut for a little baby, in great colors and super soft organic interlock fabric.  I own four pairs. There’s no need for my baby to wear anything else!

6. The paint color of Fisher’s nursery…one of Serena & Lily’s paint colors called “Paddleboat.” It’s a strong greenish blue or deep aqua.  Everyone who walks into the nursery dies over that paint color. I will never tire of it.

The season for giving is around the corner and Robeez wants to do their part in giving back.

They just launched their fourth annual Season of Giving campaign – a charitable initiative to donate shoes to infants in need during the holiday season.

For every e-card sent, Robeez will make a $5 product donation via its charitable partner Kids in Distressed Situations (K.I.D.S.). One card = $5 worth of Robeez footwear… 10 cards = $50 of footwear… and so on!

And, by taking the time to send out an e-card, you have a chance to win a Robeez Shoes and Socks Gift Set (these are so cute!). Winners are drawn weekly and the campaign will last up until December 20th.

What do Angelina Jolie, Gwen Stefani and Halle Berry have in common?

They’re all fans of Slick Sugar.

And it’s no wonder that moms like Gwen and Angie, who tend to have a rocker edge, dress their kids in this adorable line.

Featuring decals like electric guitars, drum sets, and Trans Ams, these clothes are cozy as can be with that little bit of rock n’ roll thrown in. Created by two moms who love music, a portion of Slick Sugar’s sales go to

Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation, which donates musical instruments to underserved schools and individual children. Rock on!
