This might just be my new go-to baby gift. And not just because it’s International Women’s Day today, but because we should celebrate women and girls every day. It’s a swaddle blanket printed with 96 images of iconic women by Book of Deer, aka Edinburgh-based designer Eilidh Ho and it costs $22. The print features recognisable role models – think Amelia Earhart, Kate Bush – but also inspirational women who may have been overlooked in mainstream history. You also get a little book with portraits of all the women on the blanket. Swaddles are must-have and can double as picnic blankets, sunshades, changing mats and (in our house) even superhero capes. As if all that weren’t enough, $1 from each sale goes to The Circle’s A Living Wage project, which campaigns to protect ‘fast fashion’ workers’ rights.
