The Sole pull cloth is a very exclusive silver ball with different colored fabric pieces for the baby to play with. It comes in an exclusive white and natural colored wooden box and was designed in 2005 by the Italian company De Vecchi.

It is a beautiful toy which might be best left to serve as an ornamental piece.

The Sole Pull Cloth is available at Moss, where the Sonaglio rattle and the Carillon musical toy of the same style, and probably collection, are also available.

There are just too few options for those who want to choose the kind of clothes, shoes and accessories that encourages kids to be kids and doesn’t send the message that they should already be small adults. There is of course a lot of products with various Disney characters, but other than that, there are unbelievably few options.

A good example is a little baby’s feet, the first shoes should be great and memorable, but what is so special about tiny replicas of adult Adidas shoes for example, besides the price that is? If you really want something special that is memorable, comfy, cute and most importantly something out of a kid’s fantasy, Sassy Shoes would be a great place to start looking. They offer comfortable baby shoes with a soft sole and hand painted non-toxic decorations all over the shoe, even the sole has a small decoration. The decorations are brightly colored with motifs that appeal to kids. Some of their cute themes are Puppy Love (picture), Little Racer (with a bright red race car), Peaches and Cream (green and pink flower theme) and Smooth Sailing (boy or girl sailor theme).

Each pair of shoes comes packed in a mini paint pail.

Imagine being out for a stroll in a new place, wanting to have a look at the surroundings, and your head is about 30 inches of the ground. Trousers, trousers, skirts and trousers…. The world is made for adults, and when we put our babies in strollers that only elevate them a few inches of the ground, we are bound to have a lot of grumpy moments.

I love to tidy up in my mothers attic from time to time. My mother has kept a lot’s of toys and clothes from when I was a kid, and it’s almost like Christmas Eve when I’m opening cases and bags to have a look at what’s inside. I find myself opening lots more cases and bags than needed for tidying up. Who can resist opening that bag with baby clothing? I never stop being amazed by the memories connected to old clothes.

I have recently discovered several ways of keeping those memories without putting them into bags and only seeing them once every five years or so.

The trend of putting charms on everything and anything is great. It adds some personality to those otherwise anonymous things we walk around with. Of course it depends on the charms themselves, some are ugly, looks cheap while others are beautiful. There are lots of adoring charms out there that will add both beauty and personality to your stuff.

One such charm is the Sterling Photo Frame Purse Charm. A lovely silver photo frame charm to put a picture of one of your loved ones in. The bead chain is simple and beautiful with a lock formed as a heart. It is meant for things like the diaper bag or mom’s purse, but it can of course be used by anyone to put any picture in it. Girlfriends might love to wear it on their wallet with a picture of their best friend in and I’m sure grandma would love to have the picture of her grandchild in it.

Emma & Ally also offers other beautiful photo frame and baby jewelry, designer diaper bags for mom and diaper jackets for dad, cute clothing, sweet shoes and slippers as well as bedding and personalized gift sets for baby.

Who says adorable baby “princess” clothing have to be pink? Here is one of the most adorable baby onesies I have ever seen, and it is far from pink!

This high quality onesie is adorned with Polka dot- and skull squares appliqued on the front, and polka dot ruffles on the bum. Ruffles are the perfect accessory for a diaper bottom.

The Pirate Princess Skull Onesie is a part of Vintage Lucy’s Pirate Princess Skull Collection. It is a funky collection with lots of inspiration from punk. The Sugar Skull Collection is also very sweet in a non-pink way.

These other worldly creatures are stuffed hand crocheted aliens in 100% cotton yarn. By squeezing their tummies you will make them squeak for their lives!

Olik is the slightly big boned orange one and Kloon is the long necked green one with the big teeth. They are both 10″ tall, soft and cuddly. They might make a cool and unique companion for kids of many ages.

Modern Nursery also has a lot of other interesting toys, for example the Streamliner Cars, the Ugly Dolls and My Very Own Doodle Dolls.

If you are looking for a durable and long lasting christening gift, a silver item would be a great choice. The silver gifts are durable and the fact that silver has such a great value to us, often makes us take extra good care of such gifts since they are usually kept even though they might have seen some wear and tear.

A great and unusual gift idea is the Silver Baby Rattle and Whistle Keepsake from Silver Insanity. The rattle is not only beautiful but it features some great functions as well. The shaft is a whistle and the jump ring on the top of the rattle makes it possible to wear the rattle on a chain. A silver pacifier clip e.g. would make the perfect accessory for the rattle.

Snugglebug Baby makes super cute silver pacifier clips. They come in many different designs for both boys and girls. The Snugglebug Baby pacifier clips are very strong and durable. One of these clips will make the perfect accessory for the silver rattle or a great gift all by itself.
