Kids Posh Togs

These gorgeous little ivory coloured cashmere shoes can be worn on any occasion, but for this article I am considering them for Christenings or Naming Ceremonies.

They are available in 2 sizes:  0-3 months and 3-6 months, and come as a kit to make at home.  That has probably struck fear into many of you, but the instructions are extremely clear and these shoes are SO EASY TO MAKE!  Even basic sewers will be able to do a really good job.

Going back to the theme of Christenings or Naming Ceremonies.  When my own two boys were christened, I made the christening robe and also the cake for the do afterwards.  I know a lot of people buy them ready made, but to me it was extra special to do it myself – sort of like a mother’s duty or mother’s gift.  If only these gorgeous shoes had been around then I wouldn’t have hesitated in buying them to complete the outfit, and added to the heirloom collection that I hope my boys continue with their own children.

The shoes can be left plain as shown above, with just the blanket stitch around the edges for decoration, or contrasting felt pieces can be added in the shape of a pretty flower with a button sewn on top, or a felt initial – perhaps for the baby’s name.  All the items required to make the shoes and the instructions are included in the pack.  The cashmere pieces are even pre-cut – you can’t get much easier than that.

Whether buying these shoes for your own baby, or as a gift for a friend, they are a true gift that will be treasured for a very long time to come.

As well as having many gorgeous items currently in the sale with up to 40% off normal prices, The Little White Company have also started to bring out their new Autumn / Winter 2009 collection.

Once piece from the new collection is this cute Pointelle cardigan for babies in mauve.  The pretty detailing like the picot edging around the simple round neck and scalloped centre front links this modern cardigan with a traditional matinee style jacket.  Therefore it is so useful for popping on the top of baby’s all-in-one babygros or dress for those chilly days.  The plain bodice is enhanced by the honeycomb design sleeves and main body of the cardigan.

Made from pure cotton, this jacket is machine washable – perfect for your little one’s clothing, and it is really soft too.

This cardigan is available in various sizes from 0-3 months to 12-18 months.

You may be looking at the image to your left and wondering if you are on the correct site.  What on earth is a bouquet of flowers doing on a website dedicated to sourcing top quality children’s clothes?  Regular visitors to the site will have seen a couple of items that haven’t strictly been clothing or shoes, but flowers! 

However, this is no ordinary bouquet of flowers.  Believe it or not, in addition to the pretty silk flowers and leaves that make up this bouquet, look closely and you will find that the larger flowers are in fact, carefully rolled up items of babywear: a bodysuit, hat, bib and 4 pairs of socks!  How fantastic is that?

Delivered in a large presentation box with gift card, this Bouquet of Babywear is the ideal gift for the new baby.  The pink version is currently in stock, whilst the blue version is due on 16th December 2008.

This is a really unique gift, and would make any new mum smile.  Not only would she receive much sought after baby essentials, but the remaining blooms can be treasured as an everlasting keepsake.

For pure luxury, this item wins hands down! Baby Dior luxury sleeping nest made from an exclusive blend of cashmere and milk fibres. It unzips the whole way round turning the nest into a soft and padded blanket for lying and kicking on.
