What’s better than saving money? Well, getting stuff for free, but I didn’t find an offer for a coupon for that so this is the next best thing! Do you use Johnson’s products on your babe?

Hatley is known for its great raincoats, and this bundler brings that same attention to quality and style to winter wear. Two zippers make it easy to get on and off, while a fleece-lined interior keep baby extra snug. While this style isn’t ideal for the car, it is great for wintry walks in the stroller. We used a bunting a lot when my December babies were itty bitty. You can purchase this bundler in this fun horses print at globalenfant.com. It retails for $80.00.

This cute little doll is made to order from 100% cotton. She comes with a diaper that your little one can change and a hooded blanket for swaddling. She has a small tuft of hair up top for extra cuteness. This would be a great first doll, and a great way for big brothers and sisters to care for a baby of their own. This little cutie retails for $49.95 at thesillywagon.com. A boy version is also available. The doll takes 2-3 weeks to ship, so plan ahead if you’d like one for the holidays.

If you’re looking for an out-of-the-ordinary gift for a baby boy, you might want to consider this Baby Monster Gift Set. It includes a monster long-sleeve bodysuit that fits ages 6-12 months, and a Monster book about ABC’s. You can even get the set in a gift basket, perfect for shower gift giving. Check it out at TheTotsGiftBaskets.com, where it sells for $47.

A friend of mine pointed out to me that they have the cutest costumes at oldnavy.com and I have to say, she’s right! The prices are outstanding, with full bee, dog, and other animal costumes going for $16.88! My favorite piece is the $9.88 Glow-in-the-Dark Skeleton One-Pieces for Baby. I even love the little heart above the rib cage. I think this is definitely a winner, as it is easy to slip a little one into this Halloween, without the fuss of pants, shirts, hats, etc.

Old Navy is currently having a big baby and maternity sale with prices up to 40% off through September 24th. I saw a lot of cute jeans for $10 a pair, and coats are only $20. I haven’t had much luck with Old Navy knit tops, which I don’t think hold their shape very well with washing, but I have had no problems with their denim, corduroy, or fleece. This fun Ruffle-Hem Cord Dress is on sale for $15. Shop the sale at oldnavy.gap.com.

I found the perfect baby shower gift at thebabyhabit.com: it’s the New Mom & Baby Black Bag. Not only does it come with a pink toothbrush, slippers, and soap dish set, but there’s room for all of the things a new mom needs for her hospital stay. It makes a cute diaper bag as well. You can add a personalized text under the existing text for $5, a nice touch to an already thoughtful gift. For $34, it says “I’m thinking of you and baby”, something new moms will come to appreciate (it can be tough going from pampered pregnancy to new mom.)

Here’s one more opportunity to indulge my love of all things bird related for babies. This fun Baby Birdie Luxury Baby Blanket features a bright, fun birdie print with a crazy trim that is made from a furry trim. This is a great blanket for on the go. It would be a great daycare or stroller blanket, and will no doubt get compliments wherever you go. It would also make a unique gift. You can purchase one for $48 at kangaroodles.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.

How wonderful it must be to sit on a rug made of genuine lambskin if you’re a baby (or even an adult!) The Auckland Baby Lambskin is the perfect alternative to a play mat or travel blanket. With trimmed wool and treated chemically-free, the Baby Lambskin is designed to make baby feel comfortable, secure, yet still remain mobile on the floor. Measuring 45 cm wide x 95 cm long, the Baby Lambskin also makes a great gift. You can purchase it at Sheepskinfurs.com, where it sells for $89.99.

Like a sale but still want something special? The Alimrose Pink Floppy Monkey Doll caught my eye immediately when I clicked on the sale items at bellydancebaby.com. Plush and pretty and just original enough to stand out, this happy monkey is on sale for $30 ($14 savings.) I like it for a new baby gift to go along with a sweet soft blanket or a basket of toys and sleepers. I can’t see this floppy monkey being a flop with any child.
Still holding out for something a little less costly? Check out Tavitts.com for Ty 10” Baby Dangles Pink Monkey. Super cute, pink, and fluffy, just like the Alimrose version, but at a fraction of the cost for $6.95. At our house, we think Ty stuffies are soft and huggable and just the right price.

Though baby bath seats seem pretty practical and safe to me, my husband hates using them. He is the main bather of babies in this house and he thinks that it is difficult to wash the baby when he is inside our seat and it is a pain to get baby in and out of it. However, the Dreambaby Tee-Zed opens in the front (on the toy bar) making it much more simple to get baby in and out. I imagine that would make washing baby a bit easier as well. Open, wash, close and let baby play. On sale for $19.99 at HappyBabyStore.com, it’s an improvement on previous bath seat designs.

This sweet little Baby Violetta Dress from Lola et Moi looks like it would be perfect for a hot summer day. It is made from an ultra-feminine floral cotton print with smocking at the top and great detailing along the pockets and hem. Any little girl would look as darling as can be in this dress. It would look great alone or under a simple cardigan. You can purchase one for $68 at littlelunablue.com. It is available in 6 and 12 month sizes.

Personalized blankets for babies and even for children are popular and easy to find. But what about personalized blankets for grown-ups? A company from Australia, Blanky4Me.com, makes personalized blankets for all ages and delivers them worldwide. Available in Polar Fleece or Waffle Fleece, the blankets come in a wide variety of colors and can be personalized on one side (maximum 10 characters/letters). The baby size blanket is 30″ x 40″; the child size, 40″ x 61″, and the adult size, 61″ x 71″. Prices range from around $49 to $96. Currently, the site is having a 30% off sale on its blankets. Imagine how nice it would be to have your own personal blanket to curl up with at night after putting baby to bed, or to snuggle under with your child while she snuggles under her own personalized blanket. You can view these unique products at Blanky4Me.com.

These gorgeous Baby Keepsake Boxes by Stacie Dale Designs would make the perfect new baby gift. I particularly like this Blue Star Keepsake Box, appropriate for a baby boy. Often I only see keepsake boxes in styles and themes for girls, not boys. Boys have mementos too, from their babyhood on up. One of my most treasured gifts I was given before my son was born was a keepsake box, in which I’ve kept things like a lock of his hair, a special shell or rock he found, and I’m sure many more things will go into this box over the years. This beautiful Blue Star Keepsake Box is handpainted and measures 10″ x 8″ x 6″. These all wood boxes can be personalized with baby’s name, initials, or date. You can view these beautiful keepsake boxes at StacieDaleDesigns.com. Each keepsake box costs $80.
