Stork Diaper Baby by RaeLeeMaeCreations on Etsy

Oh, my goodness!  What can I say about this diaper baby?  It is so freakin' adorable, cute and if you did not see the diaper face, you would think it was a real baby! 

This diaper baby was created by RaeLeeMaeCreations, on Etsy.  It comes with a baby cap, baby blanket, tutu (girl), baby socks, onesie, pacifier, squeeky baby toy and even the shoes!  Your little one will be all set when she gets here with this diaper baby!  

Matye done an excellent job in wrapping this diaper baby with care.  It was enclosed with a matching pink tulle fabric, all done up with ribbon and a stork card.  The diaper baby is made up of 20 diapers.  This is such a great presentation of a diaper baby...all ready to give!

I instantly fell in love with the printed baby fabrics, which resembles a leopard print.  Everything about this diaper baby was perfection!  And that sweet smell of the blanket, reminds you of a baby.  Very soft blanket that had no stiffness to it.

This would definitely be something I would present at a baby shower, either as a gift, or as an ensemble for a table.  I don't even want to take this diaper baby apart!  Why not have it as a keepsake in a baby's nursery?!  

Below are just some of the few diaper babies that RaeLeeMaeCreations make. You can get them in girl, boy or gender neutral and they all look so darling!

I also want to mention, that Rae Lee Mae Creations is more than diaper babies. Rae Lee Mae also creates unique exclusive heart footprint necklaces & footprint locket/loss of child lockets.  Matye wanted to offer something to all parents out there, to keep their babies with them at all times, for parents who have also tragically lost a sweet baby.

Yellow Owl Reversible Hoodie Blanket

Do you have a baby shower coming up soon?  What about that last minute Christmas gift that you just can't quite figure out for a little one?  Well, let me tell you, there are tons...and I mean tons, of cool and unique gift ideas on Etsy.

If you've been following me, you already know what a big fan of Etsy I am...and for good reasons!  The items you find on Etsy are not factory made, are not made in thousands of quantities, only to be distributed out to the stores, but individually made items, from people like you and me, who put a lot of love and time into the items they create.  Each piece is unique and different.

Shown here, is a cute and darling owl hoodie blanket by LollyPopCreation, over on Etsy.  It actually can serve as two functions...a hoodie blanket or a nice warm blanket after a baby's bath, that has a hoodie to keep their little heads warm and dry. It's almost like a hoodie towel for your baby!

This owl blanket is reversible. It has colorful pastel owls on one side with a yellow minky backing on the other.  The minky fabric is very very popular these days.  It has a dotted texture but very very soft. The blanket is approximately 34 x 34 inches and has excellent stitching. Before receiving, the blanket is washed in handmade all natural laundry detergent.

This would make for the perfect baby shower, coming home or Christmas gift and we all know, you can never have enough blankets when it comes to your little ones, especially since they tend to grow up so fast!

Go visit LollyPopCreation on Etsy and check out their other items they have available.

Riley Blake Blue Flannel Baby Owl Blanket and Burp Cloth Set

I love baby items.  I especially love baby items that come in a set and that are so freakin' adorable!  It seems you can never have enough 'cute' items when it comes to your newborn and infants and this is the case with this adorable flannel owl blanket, made by UniqueOs on Etsy.

This baby flannel blanket has owls in blues, greens and oranges and is perfect for those with a Woodland Forest Animal theme in their nurseries or as a baby shower gift for that mom-to-be.

The flannel blanket is 40 x 40 inches and made with a very soft and high quality cotton flannel.  It has a matching turquoise border that goes all around the blanket, giving this flannel blanket that finished look.  The fabric, itself, is a Riley Blake material, that once again, has owls and trees printed on it.

The flannel is pre-washed, before you get it, to reduce any shrinking.  If you are familiar with flannel, you know that the more you wash this material, the softer it becomes!  I love the owls and trees on this blanket.  The colors of the owls makes this perfect for both baby boys and baby girls, as it's gender neutral.

BUT....Not only do you get this generous sized baby flannel blanket, it also comes with a matching burp cloth!  The burp cloth is a perfect match to the flannel blanket and as us mothers know, you can never have enough burp cloths!  The burp cloth has the same material as the blanket and is sewn onto a high quality cloth diaper, allowing this to be a very absorbent burp cloth for your little one.

UniqueO's has tons of baby items to choose from.  If owl's are not your thing, head on over to UniqueO's to find burp cloths in different prints for boys, girls and gender neutral, layettes and much much more.

Baby Must-Have: Car Seat Cover To Protect Your Baby From The Sun

Summer time is just about hear and with the summer, comes a lot of sun (and rain.)  You will be hauling your little one in and out of the house, in and out of the car and then back home again.  Carrying your baby back and forth, when traveling, will require a car seat that can be easily removed and carried from the vehicle.  Not only will you want a car seat (pumpkin seat, back in my day) that is easy to tote around, but you will want to protect your little one's eyes from the glaring hot summer sun.

Little Bud Boutique has you covered.  They have tons of cute car seat covers, perfect for shielding your little one's eyes.  The car seat covers are hand made (as with any Etsy store) and easily attaches to the top of the car seat.  The one I have shown here, is a gray chevron with a turquoise minky backing.  The minky fabric is very soft and plush, while the gray chevron print styles the front.

The gray chevron and turquoise car seat cover has two buttons attached to the car seat by two individual flaps.  The buttons are just for decor, but the actual flaps have velcro.  Just unfasten the velcro and fasten around the top of the car seat.  This particular car seat cover is neutral print, meaning, it's perfect for both baby boys and baby girls.  

Little Bud Boutique has many color, style and print options.  If you like this particular seat cover, but want a different colored minky backing, that can be arranged, just let Jennifer at Little Bud Boutique know.  She will work with on on any custom orders if you don't see exactly what you are looking for.

These seat covers can also be turned into minky blankets.  If you see a design you love, but want it in a blanket, Jennifer will be more than glad to accommodate.  

I love how this car seat cover feels.  The back with the minky is so soft and velvety.   It is very well sewn and the stitching is awesome!  The blanket even comes with it's own personalized label, Little Bud Boutique.  Oh, and let me mention about the presentation and bundling of this car seat cover.  Jennifer too the extra time and care, to wrap a transparent ribbon around the seat cover, making it perfect to give as a gift.  

Visit Little Bud Boutique's Etsy store and check out all the car seat cover options she has.  Like I mentioned before...if you don't see something you want...just shoot Jennifer a message.  She will do her best to create your own car seat cover.

Blue and Gray Knit Baby Blanket by Made By Mandii123

Warmer weather will soon be on it's way.  We have already begun to have some pretty nice temps, some days, reaching mid 70's.  Although cooler weather may be off on it's way out of here, we will still see a few cold or cooler days yet to come.  And just because it's starting to warm up, doesn't mean you still can't break out those blankets, especially the light ones.  I can tell you for a fact, there are times where it's cooler inside my house, than it is outside...mainly because my house does not face the East or West, for the sun to come into my living room.  This is when I find me a light blanket.

If you are fortunate enough to still have a little one, expecting a baby or have a new grand-baby, this blanket shown here will make for the perfect light cover for your precious one. This blanket is created, by hand, by Mandii.  Mandii has an Etsy store, MadeByMandii123 (I love Etsy!), where she sells a lot of her creations.  This blue and gray knitted blanket is one of the softest, hand made blankets I've felt! It feels heavenly and is the perfect size for your newborn.  It feels so cuddly, warm
and the colors are great for any baby's room.

The hand made blanket, by Mandii, is approximately 30'" x 38".  Mandii has other great items in her Etsy store as well.  Looking for something for an older child?  What about something for yourself?  Mandii has some cute crocheted and knitted hats that are perfect for finishing off your winter wardrobe and style.  She also has crochet hair bows, crochet caterpillar toy and crochet and knitted sports hat.  To check Mandii out on Etsy and don't forget to check out this ultra soft blue and gray blanket!

Chunky Newborn Hat and Blanket Set by CdCk Design

I love newborn and baby stuff!  Baby items are just too cute and adorable and I forget how small the newborn clothes are!  There's nothing more special than a hand crafted piece, made from love and care that goes into a piece, for your newborn.  Taking the time to craft each piece, to perfection, is what draws me to the unique newborn items.

There's a store on Etsy, CdCk Design, that is owned by Peg.  She has some of the cutest and unique hand crafted items, not only for babies, but for adults as well.  The newborn hat and blanket set, shown here, was delivered to my doorstep very fast!  I know that it took time to knit both pieces and that says a lot about the owner of CdCk Designs!  Both the hat and the blanket are the same color.  The blanket is a chunky blanket, that is sure to keep your baby warm and comfortable. The knitted hat is just too adorable!  It has a full fluffy pom pom on the top of the hand made hat.

The materials used to create these pieces are of lambs wool and acrylic and each are made to order.  The knitted hat has a chunky pom pom, that has these squiggly accents throughout the hat.  The squiggly accents actually compliments the color of the hat and makes this piece unique.  The chunky knitted blanket is great for photo shoots and props, as well as the hat.  The blanket is approximately 25 x 28 inches, plenty big and roomy for your newborn.  The color of both hat and blanket is oatmeal, which is a neutral color that is perfect for both newborn boys and newborn girls.

If you are looking for a certain colored hat and blanket, just let Peg know.  She is more than happy to assist you in what you are looking for.  The blanket can be used to wrap your little one in or used as a car seat cover as well as a soft padding for your baby, when they are laying around.

#BundleBee Baby Wrap/Swaddle/Blanket, Feather Light/Grey Polka Dot - #Swaddleblanket

When it comes to your baby's needs, making sure that your little one is comfortable is one of the most important things.  You want your baby to feel safe, especially after birth.  It's been known, that swaddling your baby helps to soothe them.  The most effective is during their first 6-8 weeks of life.  One of the effective ways (and more comfortable way) is to use a swaddling wrap or swaddling blanket.

The swaddling blanket shown here, is by BundleBee.  BundleBee has these cute and unique blankets, that hugs your baby creating a mother's womb effect, yet, allowing your baby's arms and legs to still move naturally.  The swaddle blanket is 100% cotton, with a down like luxury feeling.  It also has a 100% coconut fiber insert for support and 100% polyester filling.  It provides head to toe protection, even when the baby is held by others. The feather light filling keeps your little one cool during the summer and warm during the winter, which reduces sweating or overheating.  

This particular swaddle blanket is the Light/Grey Polka Dot blanket.  It is ideal for both baby boys and baby girls.  It comes with a white bow, that can be tied in the front and can be given as the perfect baby shower gift!  It's so unique and different!  BundleBee has many other swaddling blankets that range from girl colors, such as pink to boys blue color.  The blanket folds open, allowing you to place baby inside.  You then would fold the bottom up and the two sides over, creating a swaddling effect to keep your baby protected and comfortable.

I love this grey polka dot blanket.  It's very very soft and very plush.  It is appropriate for 0-4 months old, giving your baby plenty of time with this blanket.  The blanket is 40 x 40 x 1 inches, so that will give you an idea on the size of this unique blanket.  It is for babies with a minimum weight of 6lbs to a maximum of 25lbs.  

If you want a safe, protective blanket that will soothe your baby, you have to check out BundleBee's baby products.  They have 7 different colors to choose from.  These would make a perfect gift for that newborn or a baby shower gift.

Aircee (TM) Unisex Autumn Winter Soft Wrap Blanket #Shawl Pashmina Scarf -#BlanketScarf

Scarves, scarves, scarves.  They come in all kinds of shapes, fashion and style.  There are lightweight, sheer scarves perfect for the Spring and Summer.  There are the heavy, bulky knitted or crotchet scarves for the cold winter and then you have scarves that are in between...perfect for Fall and Winter.

The scarf, shown below, falls in the in-between.  It's not too heavy or bulky, but it still has enough weight and fabric to it to keep you very warm during the winter months.  This Pashmina Blanket Scarf can be worn many ways.  You can tie the opposite ends together and then loop around your neck, again to create the blanket scarf style or you can simply let it hang loosely down each side, in front.  With a blanket scarf, you have many options in creating different looks.

The Aircee (TM) Unisex Autumn Winter Wrap Blanket Scarf is available in many colors: Black/Beige Plaid, Dark Blue/Beige Plaid, Dark Blue/Yellow Plaid, Grey/Beige, Grey/Beige Plaid, Grey/Blue and Grey/Pink.  I chose the Grey/Beige because I think it will go well with many items in my closet.  The Aircee Blanket Scarf is so soft, fluffy and very comfortable and would make the perfect Christmas or Valentine's gift.  Every gal (and guy) needs a least a couple of scarves in their wardrobe.  The scarf is approximately 24" x 82", plenty big enough to wrap around your shoulders during cool mornings while sitting in front of the t.v. or worn with a shirt, that has a low cut neck, to help keep you warm while traveling or at work.

I love the softness of this scarf.  It's so cozy and warm and with plaid being a hot item right now, this is definitely something you need add to your collection.  The Aircee Unisex Autumn Winter Wrap Blanket Scarf can be purchase on Amazon.  Aircee has this scarf listed at only $12.99!  This is a bargain considering how large and how much scarf you get for that price.  Did you know that you can turn a blanket scarf into a vest?  Well, you can. Below is a video showing just that.

Basico Women Winter Warm Knit Long #Scarf Shawl

I love my scarves!  Any color, shape, fashion or form, they all accent and compliment my wardrobe.  To me, a scarf adds that finishing touch to an outfit.  There are lighter scarves for the spring and summer and then there are the thicker, heavier scarves for Fall and Winter. The scarf, shown below, is the Basico Women Winter Warm Knit Long Scarf Shawl.  It has the length and width to be the popular blanket scarf, but it can also be work as an infinity scarf or be worn just hanging down the sides.  

I like to wear it several ways.  As shown in the photo, I have took  each end (opposite ends) and tied a small knot, giving it the infinity look.  I then twisted and then turned the scarf, allowing it to hang down, almost like a handkerchief.  This is normally how a blanket scarf is worn.  BUT...you can wear it several ways, even turning it into a vest!

The Basico Knit Scarf shown, is very lightweight.  It's not thick at all and has that rugged, rag like look, which I absolutely love!  Once wrapped around, it becomes a little thicker, yet keeps your neck nice and warm.  You will want to hand wash this in cold water and allow to hand dry.  The scarf is made of 100% viscose, which is a semi-synthetic fiber, also formerly known as Rayon.  Dimensions of the scarf is approximately 70" x 27.5".  The scarf is very soft to the touch and there are many colors and variations to choose from, just check out Timk Inc on Amazon.  Not only do they have this Basico Knit Scarf, but other scarves as well!

The color shown in the photo is the Beige-Coffee (hey, don't hold it against me, I'm a coffee addict, even when it comes to clothing!) Other colors available are: White, Green, Navy-Black, Pink, Coffee-Brown, Black-Navy, Grey and Mustard Yellow.  I love how this scarf looks.  The ends have that frayed, edgy look, with the material being solid in certain areas and thinner in others.  This color (Coffee-Brown) goes well with majority of my clothes and would look great against turquoise or teal, not to mention many other colors.

If you would like to get your hands (or neck, in this case) on this awesome scarf, head on over to Amazon and spy on what Timk has to offer!
