The Mermaid Princess Bedding set, custom made by Posh Tots, sets itself apart by including plenty of undersea characters such as the Mermaid, a turtle, fish, octopus, and seahorse embellishments. It gives more of a total underwater world feeling that your little girl can be a part of. There’s so much to capture your eye (and your imagination) with the beautiful pink cotton velvet quilt, hot pink tie-dye bed skirt, and rhinestone shams.

You can also purchase coordinating embellished pillows to add to the fun. Visit poshtots.com to purchase this bedding set for $722.

If you want to purchase an outfit for your baby that is both cute and socially responsible, check out this sweet little outfit from Heir.  I love the look of the Heir Goes Green for Baby Long Sleeve Set.  I’m not sure how easy it would be to keep this pristine white clean on an older baby, but it sure is pretty.  The top has the female symbol appliqued in a pretty floral fabric that really pops next to the clean white background. The same floral print is ruffled at the cuffs of the shirt and the hemline of the pants.

The outfit is made from 100% soft cotton.  A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this outfit go to help empower impoverished communities in Africa.  The set is available in sizes from 3-6 months to 4T.  You can purchase one for $50 at myprincesscloset.com. It would also make a great gift.

These Jack & Lily Fuschia Butterfly Baby Shoes are adorable. However, they also meet the qualifications of the real reasons why parents should buy any shoe: they are soft, flexible and have a skid-resistant suede sole with a gently-elasticized ankle; they are easy to slip-on and stay-on; and all important, they are hand or machine washable.

These shoes also come packaged in a clear, keepsake bag which make them a great shower gift. Made from premium “lamb touch” leather, the shoes are detailed with stitched antennae and tail and pink scalloped ankle trim. Visit littledudesanddivas.com where these shoes are priced at $24 and are available in sizes 6-12 months and 12-18 months.

This is a charming and sweet gift from mother to daughter. This Butterfly Make a Wish Necklace by Dogeared Daughter is a gold dipped butterfly on pink silk thread. The idea is that when the necklace wears off, your daughter’s wish will come true. The packaging also includes a message about Karma: “What goes around, comes around, wear your necklace as a reminder to keep the circle positive, peaceful and loving.”

This would be an appropriate birthday gift from a mother to a daughter of any age. Confidences and secrets between mothers and daughters are so special and so fleeting. Make the most of those special moments with your daughter before they become too “grown-up.”

This set is perfect for baby girls to wear during their first holiday season. The Holiday Set by Petit Ami consists of a longall in red holiday plaid with a soft black velvet bodice and a white collar with embroidered rosettes. It is topped off by a matching headband or hair bow. It is one of the prettiest holiday sets I’ve seen for younger baby girls.

You can view this set at MyMiracleBaby.com, where it is available in sizes 0-3 months and 9 months, for $24 (on sale from $36).

The border of this Fairy Birth Announcement by Inviting Smiles says “Thank heaven for little girls!” I was just looking through a line of birth announcements that include baby’s picture and there were certainly many designs to choose from. These Birth Announcements  caught my eye because they look three-dimensional with the watercolor flowers design printed on a vellum overlay and the attached organdy ribbon.

There are several styles from which to choose from at  InvitingSmiles.com, all or most of which are adorned with a vellum overlay and matching organdy ribbon. These announcements are priced at $1.79 each with a minimum order of 25. You can pre-order your baby’s birth announcements or purchase them as a baby shower gift. The new mom will then be able to decide on a design and provide the new baby’s vital information. I think it’s a nice idea for a shower gift because it’s thoughtful and unusual.
