2014 has been the year of the Penguin… so, a soft one is a must.

A beautiful cotton knitted shawl with cashmere that will brighten up those first Christmas pictures.

Sophie La Girafe – My First Christmas Set £25 Alex and Alexa

My little box of Boo Boos £16.99 LoveBoo
We’re big fans of Love Boo here – all natural and they smell delicious. This gift set of 4 mini essentials is the perfect starter set for any new baby

Bib £11 Olive & Moss 

A ‘Maximillian the Moose’ bib adds the perfect festive touch to a plain white baby grow – perfect for newly born babies (as those novelty suits make them really hot…) and fits up to age 3.

* Why not present it in a personalised Christmas sack? Saves wrapping!

I love these present sacks with the first year date stamped one. It would be a lovely way to present any gift and am sure it will come out every year after that – making it such a lovely keepsake too.
