Baby Gifts Galore!

So excited about the launch of the new Satsuma Designs' baby gift sets and new products.

The Bamburp is a one-of-a-kind burp cloth fashioned in soft organically grown bamboo velour paired with ultra-absorbent bamboo terry cloth to keep baby messes (cute as they are!) to a min. $10 or $18 per pair.

Bambibs are the most eco-luxe dining accessory in bamboo velour and soft organic cotton flannel to keep every clean and cozy. Extra long satin ties keep the business in place. $12.

Hopscotch for Big (and little) Boys and Girls!

A friend tipped me off to this ADORABLE tee shirt collection from Seattle called Hopscotch Tees. The designs are fully customized and the aesthetic superb. I picked one up for my beloved's Christmas morn using our son's name and birth year. Cute. It's a subtle homage to his little one too so he can wear it to play hoops, but not catch flack for wearing a picture of his kid on his belly (I mean 4-pack!).

All tees are soft and natural 100% cotton for babies, toddlers, kiddos, moms, dads, and g'rents.

Go play a round of hopscotch!
