Limited Edition Grey Jeans Baby & Toddler Bean Bag
The limited-edition Grey Jeans Baby & Toddler Bean Bag by Baby Snuggle Seat has been specially designed with your baby’s comfort and safety in mind. The seat is soft and super light (weighing only 2Kg), making it easily transportable. You can take the seat with you to friends who perhaps might not have anywhere suitable for your baby to rest and it eliminates having to have them stuck in their car seat. The bag comes ready filled with beans, therefore, there is no assembly involved, which often with bean bag type products you are sometimes required to fill it on delivery.
The seat is made from soft velour on the top (in this case black) and the sides are made from a smooth denim material, which will easily fit in with most home decors. The fastening on the bean bag ensured little Teddy didn’t topple off the seat. What’s great about this seat is once they are toddling about you can use the additional topper that comes with it! You simply unzip the topper that has the baby buckle and then pop on the plain topper that has a smooth velour finish, and there you have it and simple little pouf style seat, perfect for relaxing in the living room. The manufacturers state that it is suitable for up to the age of 8 which means, you get your money’s worth. The current price is £39.99 however RRP is £99.99, click here to see all the different colour and material options available.
This is a perfect baby shower/new baby gift – you could either get your work colleagues to club together and surprise you with this – or hint to family to treat your newest member to a lovely comfy seat.
Breastfeeding Jumper Dress
Catherine Bag and Biodegradable Wipes
Any new mum will tell you that having a good baby bag that fits practically everything (including your kitchen sink) is so important. This Catherine Bag by Mums & You is such a handy bag as it has removable flexible straps which makes it easy to strap it onto the pushchair, or hang it loosely over your shoulder or even to have it as a backpack. The bag has plenty of pockets to store all your necessities. It also contains a wipeable bin compartment, insulated bottle pocket as well as a zip-out seat pad for wet surfaces. The versatile bag also comes with a waterproof changing mat with comfy fleece. Registered as Vegan, the bag comes in 2 colours Navy and Grey and only costs £49.99.
Mum & You also sells 100% Biodegradable baby wipes (zero plastic waste) made from naturally derived fibres, which breaks down quickly after throwing away, even in landfill conditions. Their website states that their 98% baby wipes disintegrated in 15 days and are also suitable for home composting too and is perfect for newborns. The fragrant free 100% biodegradable wipes costs £24.99 (for a pack of 18) and you can purchase it here. With everyone talking about climate change and making the ethical and right decision when it comes to making a purchase, we can’t recommend these products from Mums & You!
Hello World Baby Hamper
Wondering what to gift a new mum for her baby? The Hello World (Unisex) Baby Hamper is such a wonderful gift to give someone special. The Made for Mums Gold award-winning hamper comes in a beautiful brown box, wrapped like a gift box. Opening the box, this made me feel very special as I did not know what was going to be inside. The Hello World Baby Hamper contained a selection of stunning items such as Lamaze Pupsqueak Baby Sensory Soft Toy, 100% fully cotton Baby Bunting Red & White Stripe Rompersuit suitable for baby 0-3 months old which came with a matching Baby Bunting Red & White Stripe print knotted hat.
Included was also an Aden & Anais Disney Winnie the Pooh Musy Muslin Square featuring a unisex vintage circus print perfect as a summer blanket/burp cloth /breastfeeding cover-up, a White Bodysuit with printed Bunny in Glasses, a 30ml orange oil scent delicate Organic Monkey Better Belly Oil for both baby and mummy to help calm unsettled tummies as well as the luxury cocoa butter with lavender Baby Hamper Company Relax Lip Balm Tin. The Hello World Baby Hamper costs £60 and this can be purchased here. Do check out their website for different themed hampers.
SnoozeShade
If you are looking for a product to shade your baby from the UV rays especially when you are travelling to a hot country when they are in their infant car seat or when they are in their baby pram then SnoozeShade is your answer. The shades encourage good sleeping habits when baby is out especially since strong light and a chance of environment disturb your little one. The SnoozeShade Baby Car Seat Canopy for Infant Car Sear & Carriers offers the highest levels of sun protection of any product on the market blocking up to 99% of UVA & UVB (UPF50+). The large soft mesh window means baby is protected from 80% of UV, wind, chill and insects and can enjoy the sights. The material is made from soft stretchy breathable fabric which does not retain heat. You can take the seat with you to friends who perhaps might not have anywhere suitable for your baby to rest and it eliminates having to have them stuck in their booster car seat. Priced at £24.99, the SnoozeShade Baby Car Seat can be purchased here.
The SnoozeShade Original Buggy & Pram Sun Shade & blackout blind fits all single prams, carrycots, pushchairs, buggies, strollers & travel systems with hoods. Do note that the shade is designed so baby cannot see out of it when awake. But, every child is different and it depends on what you want it for. If it’s just for sleep and nothing else then it can work for years. If you want your little one to look out when awake then purchase the Plus or Plus Deluxe which is much bigger and will last until your little one is out of the buggy. The SnoozeShade Original Buggy and Pram Sun Shade can be purchased here for £19.99. Both products are easy to install/remove and folds up.
You can take the seat with you to friends who perhaps might not have anywhere suitable for your baby to rest and it eliminates having to have them stuck in their booster car seat.

I wish they had something as stylish as that lovely jumper dress when I had babies. I think I spent my life in jeans lifting tops up!
I know, I had the same thoughts when I tested the dress. It is so comfy and stylish too
Cool ideas for baby gifts. At least I have an idea what to bring for my sister kids .
How wonderful to hear that!!
Glad the SnoozeShade has special protection from the harmful UV. It is so important and I don’t want my baby getting sunburn as their skin are still very soft.
No, especially if you are travelling to hot climate countries and young babies are so not used to the sunrays and heat
These are some great gift items. Thanks for sharing this will come in useful for the next baby shower I attend 🙂
Glad to hear that, let us know which items you pick
I have a baby shower coming up next month. I may need to snag a few of your ideas!

That gift box is such a great idea!
It sure is, thats from The Baby Company, so worth getting it for a family member or friend
These are such great gift ideas for the upcoming season! Thanks for sharing.
Your welcome and thank you for stopping by
Love the toddler bean bag and its looks way more comfy than keeping baby in a car seat or stroller while visiting a friend.
XO, MJ
Yes we agree, sometimes you want them to move about and this allows that but still keeps them confined and you can use the seat till the baby turns 8 years old so that is so worth every penny
I love this little bean bag. It’s the cutest.Thank you for sharing this gift guide with us.
Your welcome, yes such a comfy seat for little ones
Love the snooze shade. My baby is 4 months old. Prior to now, he could sleep about anywhere. Now, not as much. Plus, the snooze shade would also protect him from people reaching for his hands!!!
I know so many strangers can’t help themselves when they see a baby. The snooze shade is fabulous to keep the sun away
These are some great gift ideas. The Toddler Bean Bag looks like a cool item.
Thank you, it is a great bean bag and perfect for little ones
