I love this clever birth announcement idea from Garden-in-a-Bag.  Each “announcement” is a packet of seeds, so those who receive your good news will be able to enjoy a beautiful bloom in honor of your new arrival.  The “It’s a Boy” packet contains forget-me-not seeds, and the “It’s a Girl” packet contains an assortment of pink flowers.  All the recipient needs to do is add water and put the bag in a sunny place. What better way to celebrate your new addition?

Each Garden-in-a Bag Birth Announcement packet costs $8, and can be purchased at chasing-fireflies.com.

This pretty Summer Flowers Horseshoe Armchair by Wesco caught my eye because I thought it was an unusually attractive design for the usual beanbags commonly made from vinyl materials. It is actually designed for infants who are learning to sit up and need that extra support.

The armchair has a base mat sewn onto it to prevent sliding and help baby feel secure. The raised backrest gives your baby an additional support; giving confidence and body awareness to baby.

Its overall dimensions (16″ H x 24″ W x 20.5″ D) will ensure that this product will still be usable as your baby grows into a toddler. You might want to spray the seat with a fabric protectant since your baby will get plenty of use from this piece and you’ll want to keep it in good, clean condition.

The armchair is made from 65% polyester/35% cotton fabric with polyester fiber wadding. It is designed for children ages 6 months and up, and is on sale for $65 at allchildrensfurniture.com.

These cute shoes from Pom Dapi are sure to be a hit with your little girl.  The pink color is sure to capture her attention, while the flower decoration adds an extra special touch.  These would look great with so many different outfits.  I love the high tech bottoms of the shoes which look like they could grip anything.

Made in France from the highest quality materials, these shoes will last as long as your child can fit them.  You can purchase a pair on sale for $75 at westvillagekids.com.  Sizes are limited, so order soon.

This fun set of socks by Posy Toes would make a great gift, or a nice little starter set for your own daughter. The set features six adorable pairs of socks, each featuring a different flower in vibrant shades of pink, white, yellow and/or green. They come packed in an equally-cute gift box.

The socks are 80% cotton, 15% nylon, and 5% spandex for just the right amount of stretch. They fit newborn-12 months. You can purchase the set for $24.95 at oliebollen.com.

Here’s a great pair of rainboots that is surprisingly affordable. Made from 100% natural rubber and decorate with pastel lotus flowers, these are sure to be a hit with any little girl. I love the attention to detail in the flowers and on the stylized top. They definitely look like they cost far more than the $25 retail price.

These boots are available in sizes from 5-13. They would be perfect for all kinds of wet weather. You can purchase a pair from duckduckgooseboutique.com. They would also make a practical but fun gift idea.

Lately, I’ve been looking for a comfortable pair of maternity pajamas. I love bright green, so I was immediately excited to find the Pixie Maternity pajama set. Not only are they one of my favorite colors, but they are designed for both maternity and nursing which makes them as practical as they are pretty.

The top appears to be very soft, and I love the flowered print on the bottoms. As an added bonus, the set comes with a matching infant gown, which is appropriate for either a boy or a girl. I’m hoping they can keep me comfortable this summer as I get bigger and bigger.
