The Patchwork Bear makes a number of cute patchwork toys that are great as gifts or family heirlooms.  Jessica Alba and Cate Blanchett both have these bears for their little ones.  The Minky Bear, which was recently featured in an OK Magazine spread detailing Alba’s nursery, is handmade from chenille and the soft microfiber “Minky” fabric that is popping up everywhere these days in high end children’s products.

The bears are cut, stuffed and stitched by hand, so each one is special.  They are available in pink, blue, yellow, vanilla or mocha.  You can purchase one for $45 at thepatchworkbear.com.  For an extra $10, you can have the bear personalized.

Jessica Alba recently purchased a Serena & Lily Market Sling for her new baby, and it is easy to see the appeal. The sling has a very earthy vibe about it, and yet it is quite stylish at the same time. This hand-embroidered sling is made of 100% organic cotton to be as gently and soft to your baby as it is kind to the Earth. Your commitment to your child and to the environment will be obvious to others whenever you use this sling.

The sling is made of one piece that eliminates the need for buckles or straps. You simply slip it on and you are ready to go. It is available in three sizes and various colors. You can purchase one for $129 at Babybox.com.

Key chains from Key to My Heart are taking over Hollywood. Celebrity moms including Jessica Alba, Marcia Cross, and Tori Spelling are all carrying them. They are becoming a popular gift too. What makes these key chains so special? Each one is is personalized to reflect your family.

Each chain can hold up to six dangles–one for each child or other loved one. Each dangle can be customized with up to 10 letters (for a name etc), and comes with one crystal and one charm of your choosing. There are a number of charm and crystal options to choose from, so the possibilities are almost limitless. You will feel quite special carrying one of these for sure. Too bad it can’t help me keep track of my keys…

A three dangle key chain, like the one shown here, costs $79. You can purchase one at keytomyheart.net

If you are looking for organic bedding for your little one’s crib, you might want to check out the adorable options available from Sage Creek. The company has a fan in Jessica Alba, who recently purchased crib sheets for her new daughter. I was particularly drawn to the ladybug design, which is sweet and simple.

I also like the bright red color, which isn’t often seen on crib bedding. Sage Creek sheets are made of super-soft organic cotton and come in an adorable matching drawstring bag which you can use for storage, or as a fun tote. The great packaging makes them an ideal gift, too.

You can purchase one of these great sheets for $48 at sagecreeknaturals.com. There are also many other great designs to choose from.

Isabella Oliver’s line of sophisticated maternity wear has quickly become a favorite of celebrity moms-to-be such as Jessica Alba and Minnie Driver. I am particularly taken with this sleeveless wrap dress which is simple and elegant.

It is also reversible, so you really get two dresses in one—a black version with white accents and a white version with black accents (a tan and magenta version of the same dress is also available). The dress is made of a light jersey fabric that flatters your pregnant body. Depending on how you accessorize, this dress could be worn to the office or for an evening out.

Unbelievably, it is also machine washable. You can buy one for $240 at isabellaoliver.com.

These simple bassinets have recently become quite popular with celebrity parents. Christina Aguilera and Jessica Alba received them as shower gifts and Tori Spelling, Mariska Hargitay, and Jennifer Garner all had them for their infants. The bassinet itself is made of an eco-friendly, sustainable wood from New Zealand. The 100% cotton fabric of the bassinet bag unzips and is machine washable—a must in the early days of leaking diapers and spit up. There are a number of eye-catching fabric choices for the bag. The bag and bassinet are sold separately. The bassinet sells for $424.95 and each bag costs $140. You can purchase them at www.babystar.com.
