Natalie writes… I absolutely love Danish brand Smafolk who do retro baby clothing in some seriously eclectic prints. I am gutted that they don’t have any of the smaller sizes left of the Smafolk Jacket with Apple Pockets. They only have them in 3-4 (and 5-6) at Otis Me Lotis and it doesn’t look like […]

Elodie x Morris & Co
A little late to the party with this one, but I had to give it a mention. I first came across Elodie Details when Alfie was a baby and loved their quirky aesthetic, that offered a welcome change from the bland, boring beige and baby blue offerings of the time. Fast forward fifteen (!) years […]
aden + anais organic collection
So in love with the new organic collection from muslin gurus aden + anais. I’ve lost count of the number of their cotton swaddles I’ve gifted to friends’ babies over the years – they’re so soft, come in amazing prints and have myriad uses (ours have been swaddles, blankets, burp cloths, bibs, sheets, picnic rugs, parasols, […]
Willow & Cole Gift Sets
A little while a package arrived at my house which was soooo beautiful I put it away for a special little baby arriving any day now, so my darling children wouldn’t get their sharpie stained paws on it! The package was from from Willow and Cole, the home of luxury baby gift sets. Before I […]
Label Love: My First Frugi
When my sister decided to go in to labour a tad early a few weeks ago at a Rolling Stones gig – yes, really – she ended up with a beautiful baba who was a total dink, teeny, so I started the hunt for all things tiny baby for her. My First Frugi was where […]
Covetable: Slowdown Studio
Yes, I know it’s warmed up outside, but that doesn’t stop me being obsessed with beautiful blankets. I have a real penchant for (of course!) Welsh tapestry blankets – I have a few vintage and modern (from Melin Tregwynt), but I can always be persuaded into lusting after new designs. Step up, Slowdown Studio, the creative […]
Aden & Anais/Disney dream blanket giveaway
One of my all-time favourite baby products is definitely aden + anais‘s super-soft bamboo Dream Blankets. And they’re not just for babies either – Kitty absolutely loves hers and we’ve used it as picnic blanket and tablecloth as well as to snuggle up under on Friday Film Night. Aden + Anais’s first collaboration with Disney, […]
Book of Deer iconic women swaddle blanket
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 […]
New Indikidual
I do have a soft spot for British/Swedish label Indikidual – their designs are always that little bit different, with just the right amount of quirk and a fabulous colour palette based on mint, yellow, tomato red, teal and grey. This season’s collection is another hit for me, with jumpsuits, sweats, joggers, hoodies, dresses, baby vest, […]
The Bonnie Mob Journey North new collection
We are all over the frankly wowsers new collection from The Bonnie Mob. A tribute to our friends in the North (Alaska as opposed to Newcastle), it features polar bears, Arctic foxes and lusciously illustrated night skyscapes on all the Mob items we love. Think bright, chunky knits, super-soft cotton dresses and babygros, beautiful blankets and […]

Lulujo monochrome bamboo muslins
As far as I’m concerned, large muslin swaddle blankets are an absolute essential for a new baby. Not necessarily for swaddling (both of my little fidgets hated it, so we never did it), but as a light blanket in hot weather, a burp cloth, an impromptu picnic blanket or a pushchair cover, they can’t […]

Giveaway: over £150 worth of aden + anais muslin goodies
Have we got an amazing giveaway for you? Yes, we have! One of our all-time favourite buys for babies is the aden + anais swaddle – we have loads at home, and, even though my babies are big now they still prove useful as picnic rugs, superhero capes, impromptu blankets or shawls on unexpectedly chilly summer evenings […]
The Bonnie Mob
Fans of knitwear will already be well aware of Bonnie Baby and their iconic striped wool babywear. Well, now, tens years on, the baby has grown up into The Bonnie Mob, a cool collection of kidswear up to age seven (don’t worry, there’s still plenty for the tiniest customers as well) in organic wool and […]
Hot buy of the day: Cellular blanket for £18
Loving the popping colours and contrasting trims of the soft cotton cellular blankets from Mama Designs. They’re large enough to be used for swaddling, out and about or around the home. The open cellular construction allows airflow, safer than normal blankets. They’re 100% cotton. Perfect baby blanket at a price that’s friendly to your pocket. […]
The BG Guide to… What to pack for a festival
I’ve written a fair few of these festival essentials posts now, but there are always so many new products coming onto the market I think it’s worth doing a new round-up every year, even though I have my absolute must-haves that don’t change from year to year. Let’s start with those. My tent recommendation is […]
Family Nation
Family Nation is a chic Italian store packed full of goodies from pregnancy skincare and maternity clothing to nursery decoration, via childrenswear, toys and babycare, sourced from across the globe. Why we love: There’s a huge selection of products, with a strong emphasis on the eco-friendly and ethical. We like the balance between the practical and […]
Aarrekid Monsters print clothing
I am a teeny bit in love with Finnish label Aarrekid‘s slightly out-there hand-drawn prints, so I’ve been swooning over the latest Monsters design by Piia Keto, now available from emporium of temptation The Kid Who. Largely black and white with red/pink highlights, the pattern depicts quirky creatures and is featured on shorts, long and […]
10 Best: comforters
Comforters, loveys, security blankets – call them what you will, but there’s no denying that they can be indispensible. I’m a big fan of them – they are really effective for helping children fall asleep and feel safe and secure in new and daunting environments. Alfie was given a beautiful FlatOut Bear by an Australian friend when […]
10 Best: alternative Easter gifts
We love chocolate at BG (so do feel free to pop some in the post), but we don’t love the combination of kids and too much of it, so we’ve picked out 10 sugar-free Easter pressies for little ones. [slideshow_deploy id=’68576′] Rice DK ceramic plate, £9.95, Little Baby Company. Miss Etoile cookie cutter set, £8, […]
