we've decided to showcase our fave picks for the month.

Merino Kids
Age: Newborns-Kids
The Merino Kids’ Cocooi Sleep Bag is truly beautiful and a suitably indulgent gift for a brand new baby. Protect that baby-soft skin and cocoon it in the cocooi! Replacing the need for sheets and blankets, merino fibre is a non-irritant known for its thermal properties as it can remove heat in hot conditions and insulate in a cold climate. The neatest thing about this design is it includes a “vent” so you still strap bubs into a car seat or stroller. Practical yet gorgeous at the same time, very clever.
Price: $119.00 RRP

Cheekeyes Wooden Blocks

A new range of beautifully simple toys designed by a couple of Dutch boys! Made from renewable resources, showing off the lovely wood grain and colours, offset by the simple outside colour, these toys are sure to be a favourite with the kids. And we know we’re not alone when we say how much our sons love dinosaurs!
Price: From $19.95 to $94.95 (whole set)

Tommee Tippee
Age: Newborns+
Tomme Tippee have released a new range of BPA-free bottles in their Closer to Nature range. As with other Tommee bottles they have a well-researched design, the bottle is shaped to be top-heavy which makes it much easier for your baby to hold. The bottles are also said to mimic flex and softness of the breast and said to improve the transition from breast to bottle. Look out for the new Closer to Nature dummie range too.
Price: $21.95 RRP (two 260ml bottles)
