Arden | The 1st Year Photobook
I decided to give Mixbook a try since they were the only option where I could get a hardcover, quality printing and my choice of pages. And you know what? I LOVE how it turned out. Having worked with color at a previous job (for the Pottery Barn catalog), I can tell you I’m pretty picky with how my pictures print out. I’ve ordered books from other vendors before and have been pretty disappointed. Most of the time when I get prints I’m disappointed as well π So it’s huge to say that I’m so happy with this book! I want this a yearly tradition and I’m definitely going to be using Mixbook again!
By the way, this post hasn’t been sponsored by Mixbook at all…I just really love my photobook π Didn’t it turn out great?
Buying for Baby | Clothing Essentials 0 to 6 months
Tea Collection Keepsake Gift Box
I found one of these adorable little cardigans at a second hand store and I loved it! It’s perfect for layering over whatever baby is wearing and it’s too cute for words. It’s the perfect soft jacket for baby.
Nature Baby Organic Merino Classic Drawstring Booties
You need to keep baby’s feet warm. These booties are great because they have a little drawstring you can tighten to make sure they stay on. They’re also wool and have no added flame retardants, what more could you ask for? Oh yea, well they could be cheaper π But really you only need 1 (maybe 2) pairs.
Trumpette Classic Maryjane Baby Socks Box Set, 0 -12 months
Trumpette socks are so stinkin’ cute and they stay on too! So if you’re going to go with socks over booties, I’d go with some of these.
Polarn O Pyret Classic Stripe Tights (Baby)
Tights were my footwear of choice. I know it sounds funny, but most of the time I dressed Arden in tights and a onesie. It was cute, believe me. AND the added bonus was her tootsies always stayed warm. I never had to worry about a sock or shoe falling off. I had around 3/4 pairs of fun colored, striped, patterned tights.
Shi Shu Baby Handwoven Baby Blanket
Last but not least, a nice warm and soft baby blanket. I went way overboard with the baby blankets, WAY overboard. All you need is one or two good baby blankets and you’re set. That’s why I’d go with quality over quantity. The Shi Shu Blanket may seem expensive, but they’re worth it. Plus Gilt has deals on them all the time!
Seems pretty basic and simple doesn’t it? It is! That’s all I needed to keep baby girl comfy and cute, I promise π With this amount of clothing I ended up doing laundry about once a week. Hopefully this list helps all of you future-Moms/Pops! And remember to keep an eye out on eBay, Craigslist and even your local Goodwill or second-hand stores for the best deals!
