Unique baby gift finds on Etsy!

Congrats to Laila Valade!!  She is the winner of this amazing #babybundlegiveaway!!  Thank you to all of you for reading and entering, and thank you to all of these wonderful Etsy shops for participating!!


I love to find a unique and special gift for new baby friends; a little something not on the registry and something with character.  You know I love Etsy, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite gift finds for a new baby (and mom) on there.  I not only love how fabulous these items are, but I love that they were hand crafted with love and have an affordable price tag. Love supporting small business when we can!  You'll also note that many of these wonderful Etsy shops are based in Maine which is a double win (support small & support local)!  

Pirates and Peonies- Baby gift set, hat & pant combo, $30 - Angela of PiratesandPeonies specializes in clothing and accessories for babies and kids (up to size 4T).  I'm in love with the leggings and hat combo pictured above, and can't wait to give it as a gift.  She's also has great cardigans, cowls, headbands, cardigans and her fabric choices are trendy and really adorable.  PiratesandPeonies can be found on Etsy, Facebook, and on Instagram where she posts great pictures, deals, and giveaways.  

Little House of Colors- Baby Soft Sole Shoes, $18 - I have purchased several pairs of shoes (and matching bibs) from Lauren of Little House of Colors, and am always so pleased.   She does great work and is so nice to work with! If you don't see the fabric you're looking for, ask, b/c Lauren will do custom work and has lots of fabric choices. These shoes are so cute and perfect with their soft souls and cozy lining. Check out these shoes, matching bibs and other fun things over on Etsy!

Go Babe Slings- Infinity Nursing Scarf, $20 - You've seen Go Babe on here before, I'm a huge fan, and love that she's in Maine!  Molly is so talented and makes such awesome and practical creations.  Her infinity scarf is fabulous, such a great concept and her fabric options are my favorite, a great gift for a nursing mama. Molly's go some other great creations including her diaper bags, diaper & wipe clutches, pinwheel and bow tie accessories and more!  Check her out on Etsy, Facebook, and on the Go Babe Slings website. 

Fern & Fawn- Natural Whale Diaper Cover, $28 -  I love these diaper covers and can't wait to give them as gifts although I don't know how I'll be able to choose between the whale and the anchor!  Alison is a Michigan mom that carefully choses fabrics and is inspired by nature.  I love that she uses an unbleached natural and soft cotton for sensitive bottoms :-)  I wish I had found out about Fern & Fawn sooner!  Find her on Etsy, Facebook, and Instagram!
