Amolia Mae sells these beautiful Powell Craft brand handcrafted, embroidered pajamas for boys. Along with that, they sell teddy bears wearing matching pajamas. What could delight a little boy more? My almost six-year-old was recently treated to a sample pair of pajamas and teddy bear from Amolia Mae. It arrived at the perfect time, while he was quarantined inside our house with strep throat during the Blizzard of 2010. The pajamas are long-sleeve, beautiful 100% fine cotton, and arrive in an Organza case. The matching teddy bear is darling as well. My son has a friend now to take to bed every night (and a favorite pair of pajamas as well!) You can purchase these for your own child, at a price of $42 for the pajamas and about $20 for the bear, at AmoliaMae.com.

I’ve been carrying a diaper bag for almost four years straight, and I’ve just come to terms with it.  Some people, however, would rather transition away from bulky bags as their children grow. That’s exactly what this changing pad is designed to accommodate. This particular model is made with the needs of a larger, toddler-sized child in mind. It holds diapers and wipes and folds up compactly. It is made in the USA and comes in chocolate with either pink or blue embroidery. You can purchase one of these sets for $50 at dandelionbaby.com.

This eco-friendly infant lounge set by Barefoot Dreams is blended with bamboo, making it breathable and comfortable for baby no matter what the season. The 60% bamboo, 40% cotton mixture is not only soft, it’s also anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and hypoallergenic. Plus, from now through December 20, Layla Grayce is offering Free Gift Wrap on any Barefoot Dreams purchases over $50. Just use code BDWRAP when checking out. This set sells for $40 at LaylaGrayce.com.

Though the necklace is depicted on a woman’s neck , I think the Embroidered Flower Felt Necklace is also the perfect gift for a little girl. Best of all? It’s 50% off at $18 from Etsy seller KaleidoscopeStyle. Wonderful for wearing around grabby babies, lightweight, and handmade, it’s a lovely shade of red. If flowers aren’t your thing, she’s got elephants and other fun choices too. This weekend, buy one and get one free as well!

Curious George is a favorite character of many children. The George Collection Organic Crib Bedding by Coyuchi caught my eye as many members of our family are loyal Curious George fans. I especially like this George Crib Blanket. It is made of a white percale front, an ivory flannel back, but what makes this most appealing to me is the hand embroidery. It makes this blanket feel more like a family heirloom. However, it’s even better than a family heirloom, as it’s made of 100% organic cotton. At $96, it’s not an everyday purchase, but worth it to save as a hand-me-down to your grandchildren someday. You can view this and the rest of the George Collection at TheNaturalBabyRegistry.com.

What little boy doesn’t look adorable in a stylish embroidered shirt? While I am a big fan of onesies and pants on a day to day basis—anything that makes changing easier is the way to go, in my opinion—I also like having a few nice items for those special events. I would never put my son in this embroidered shirt right before feeding him blueberries per se, but I think this top would work perfectly for a special event that doesn’t involve him creating a mess from his high chair. A part of Gap’s Villa Collection, this embroidered shirt is a warm milky color, making it easy to pair up with a variety of pants or even jeans. A linen and cotton blend, it is fancier that a t-shirt but just as easily cleaned in the washing machine. Available for $24.50 on gap.com, this is a fabulous spring item for boys rivaling all those cute dressy tops now out there for girls.

Janie and Jack always has adorable, high quality clothing, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that one of their dresses made my top five list. This dress has some nice details, like the flutter sleeves and embroidered daisies. Both the colors and style are perfect for spring. This would definitely pair well with a sweater for those days or evenings when the temperatures are a little cooler. A coordinating bloomer completes the outfit for sizes newborn through 24 months. There is even an invisible side zipper to help you easily get your little one in and out of her fancy dress. Originally priced at $48, this dress is currently on sale for $36.99 at janieandjack.com. You can either pocket that little over 20% discount or use it to buy some accessories to really complete this look.

 
Recently while browsing the Internet I came across this adorable personalized embroidered baby blanket. What makes it so attractive, to me, is the postmark on it with the baby’s birth date that says “Heaven Sent.” This would make the perfect baptism/new baby gift. Made from 100% interlock cotton, the blanket is made in the USA and measures 31″ x 30″. It comes in pink or blue. You can purchase this cozy blanket at SavvyTot.com for just $29.

Here’s another great deal I found in Janie and Jack’s Season Finale Sale. Regular bodysuits usually run for $7-8, even at more affordable stores like Old Navy. This one, though fancier with its embroidered collar, is (believe it or not) selling for even less. My daughter has a similar bodysuit from Janie and Jack and it looks great paired with a jumper.

A nice shade of ivory, this top can be matched with a variety of coordinating items to create an outfit that would be perfect for those special occasions. Usually running for $24, this top is now on sale at janieandjack.com for just $3.99. At a price like this, you can’t go wrong.

It is quite cold where we live, and I have been having all kinds of trouble finding a hat that is small enough for our newborn to wear.  Everything ends up falling down in her face and covering up her eyes, which does not please her (and with good reason). I was excited to discover that Janie and Jack’s layette collection includes outerwear in preemie sizes.  I particularly like this cable knit sweater beanie, with its soft blue color and classic style.  Made from a cotton angora blend, it looks like it would be as soft as can be on a little head.  Earflaps and and a chin strap create finish off this adorable look while keeping the hat securely in place.  The hat is lined with soft cotton jersey.  You can purchase one on sale for $9.99 at JanieAndJack.com.  It is available in sizes from preemie to 3-6 months.

If your little one loves to carry things around with her like mine does, this Fuschia Bunny Purse from Zid Zid would no doubt be much appreciated and well loved.  It si the perfect size for transporting toys or books. The brightly colored bag is decorated with a sweet little embroidered rabbit that will no doubt charm any little girl. The bag itself is made from 100% cotton and is easy to clean.  The corners of the bag are decorated with coins for an extra bit of flair, and the brown strap provides a nice contrast to the fuschia body.  I really like the simple design of this very basic, yet very endearing bag.

You can purchase one of these fun bags for $34 at LaLaLing.com.  This would make a wonderful gift for a birthday, Valentine’s Day, or any other special occasion.

I am a big fan of Noppies maternity clothes, so I was interested to discover that the company also makes clothes for little ones.  The entire line is made to be simple and comfortable.  These are well-made clothes that your toddler will be able to run around and get dirty in.

I really like the appearance of this embroidered cardigan.  Available in sizes from 9-12 months up to 3T, it features a cute embroidered flower print on the front.  The overall look is casual, but stunning.  It could be worn as a light jacket or as a layering piece.  It would look great with comfortable knit pants, leggings, or jeans.  You can purchase one for $34 at poshmaternityonline.com.

How many hours can our kids play in the sand at the beach? Or at the local neighborhood park sandbox? If we wouldn’t bother them, I guess they’d be there until nightfall! Here’s a little extra protection from the sun with this four-way protection hat.

The Sun Smarties Custom-Embroidered Flap Hat shades delicate faces, heads, necks, and eyes. I like that the flap covers the neck area because, as you’ve probably experienced, while your child is bent over their sandcastle masterpieces the sun rays are bearing down on their backs. Those spots can become very tender from sunburn and easily irritated by clothing after a day at the beach. So this product provides a little extra prevention.This hat is treated with UPF 50+ sunscreen and made of quick-drying microfiber.

The hat is machine washable and comes in a variety of patterns, including 4th of July, Safari, Surfs Up, and Hibiscus. You can buy one for $9.95 at OneStepAhead.com.
