Robbie Adrian Luxury Organics is currently offering a “recession-friendly” version of their organic silk baby blankets. The Little Less Silk style features a smaller silk ruffle adorning the blanket, made from soft 100% plush certified organic cotton velour or fleece. With yarn that is spun in the United States and blankets knitted on the East Coast of the US, the cotton used in Robbie Adrian blankets is actually certified back to the initial bale of cotton. Blankets can be machine washed and dried on low heat. They are available in a variety of colors and sizes, from 10″ x 12″ fleece lovey for $26 to the largest, 37″ x 37″ nursery size for $78, at RobbieAdrian.com.

Epicuren Baby Diaper Spray is a high-end diaper rash treatment/barrier. The product makes use of 25% zinc oxide in addition to aromatic oils. The spray formula makes it easy to apply. Anyone who has ever used super-thick creams can appreciate this feature. The Anne Geddes photo on the bottle is pretty cute, too. You can purchase a bottle for $19.50 at luxurybabynursery.com. While you are there, you can check out the rest of the line as well.

If you are looking to indulge some lucky parents-to-be with a lovely organic gift basket, but don’t have the time to assemble one yourself, this basket from Kee-Ka is a great option. The set includes a onesie, a bib, burp cloth, a cap, a hooded towel, and a set of 5 pairs of socks. Everything is made from 100% certified organic cotton using low impact dyes. The set comes sweetly packaged in a reusable metal basket. You can purchase this generous gift for $145 at luxurybabynursery.com. It is also a way to stock your own little one’s closet with organic essentials.

Pixel Organics has the best prints for little boys. If I had had a boy, I would have loved for him to have their lion crib set. I recently stumbled upon this Scary Fish Organic Receiving Blanket and am absolutely in love with it. The print is hilarious, but sweet. It is also quite modern and artsy, and the color scheme is perfect. Made in the United States, the blanket is made with low-impact dyes for a healthy environment. I think it would make a great gift. I’m tempted to get one for my wild and crazy girls. You can purchase one for $39.99 at luxurybabynursery.com.

I continue to be amazed by how much laundry my eight week old manages to generate on a daily basis. Although I don’t like the way it looks in her nursery, her messiness has necessitated a hamper. I just went with a natural linen one because it is the least distracting one I could find, but I would have loved to have had something that coordinates a little better with her furniture and bedding. If you are in a similar boat, or are still in the process of designing a nursery for your baby-to-be, you might consider these fun hampers from Hoohobbers. The design is simple, but the best part is that there are 35 different fabric options to choose from, so you can fairly easily customize the basket to fit your nursery. At $80, this product isn’t cheap, but it is a practical baby necessity that will get a lot of use. You can purchase one at luxurybabynursery.com. Your basket can be personlaized for an additional $12.

I’ve seen a lot of very attractive burpies, but the Classical Composers burpie from Raspberry Peabody is definitely unique. It is made from 100% cotton and is a generous 4 x 7 x 4.  It features silhouettes of famous composers such as Bach, Haydn, and Schubert. I think this would be the perfect gift for musicians or classical music lovers. The price of this cloth is a bit steep, but palatable for gift-giving. You can purchase one for $19 at LuxuryBabyNursery.com. 

I stumbled upon the up-and-coming line of luxury crib bedding by Sew Crib Creations quite by accident.  The designer’s daughter, expecting around the same time I am, posted a picture of one of these gorgeous sets on a forum that I frequent, and I knew I had to see more.  The line includes a number of designs for both boys and girls, as well as gender-neutral sets like this adorable one featuring sock monkeys.

The sock monkey set includes everything you could possibly need to furnish your nursery in coordinating style: a crib sheet, blanket, a crib skirt (your choice of straight or pleated), an accent pillow, bumper pads, a diaper stacker, a toy bag, and two valences.  Each piece offers a fun pairing of the playful sock monkey print and other fabrics such as brown and white dots, red twill, and plush chenille.  Everything is made by hand with extreme care and expertise.

Each set is custom-made when you order, so you will need to allow approximately three weeks for delivery.  It will be well worth the wait!  This particular set retails for $799 and can be purchased at CrazyAboutBabies.com.  Alternately, you can contact the designer, Sheila Wood, to arrange a custom order, and view some of her previous designs through her ebay page. Styles are available in a number of different price ranges.  A customized set would also make a wonderfully thoughtful gift for a mom-to-be.

The Kate Collection by Serena and Lily is understated but still fashionable with its soft but bold prints and complementary colors. As seen on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, this bedding set comes with bumper, bed skirt, and fitted sheet for $539.00. Coordinating paint colors are available on the www.serenaandlily.com site, along with lamps, gliders, and nursery furniture. Everything one could need is chosen and ready to be set up in baby’s nursery. I think that the collection creates a Zen feeling, as rocking baby in the matching glider while gazing at the lovely Kate Collection could be very peaceful for both baby and parent. Though the Kate Collection is slated toward girls, the bumper and some of the other pieces could easily be purchased separately and fitted into a boy’s nursery. For high end, luxury baby bedding and accessories, look no further, because Serena and Lily collections deliver nothing less.
