5 New Favorites For Newborns From giggle

Buying for baby? Whether you’re gearing up to outfit an entire nursery or simply looking for something beautiful and gift-worthy, we recommend taking a look at the latest offerings from giggle. We recently attended a preview of fall and holiday products and want to share some of our favorites.

Their website is impeccably organized and easy to navigate, but you might want to stop by one of their stores to fully immerse yourself in the world of newborn fashion and nursery gear. You’ll find a nice variety of gifts and keepsakes, clothing, furniture and bedding, toys, and more.

Here’s a sampling of some of our favorite new giggle items to give you a taste of what they’re playing around with. Happy shopping!

giggle Better Basics Striped Convertible Baby Gown

When it comes to baby’s first fashion statement, you really can’t go wrong dressing your bundle of joy in an organic cotton gown with a classic stripe pattern. This timeless look comes in a pleasant unisex color combination and can easily convert to a romper using its simple snap design. The rib knit basic will fit most babies up to 6 months and is perfect for breathable, between-season style. $30, giggle.com

 

“Party Animals” Baby Gift Set

Who knew that old soda bottles could be so adorable? The precious lion felt appliqué on this baby gift set is constructed using 100% post-consumer plastic. The American-made matching onesie, hat, and bag for ages 6-12 months are all super soft, plush cotton and make for a thoughtful baby shower present. Tell the recipient that proceeds benefit women in rural Haiti by providing them with fair trade work via the Haiti Project. A gift for all. $45, giggle.com

 

Eco Baby Dot Blanket

With a nod to mod tastes, this elegantly polka dotted throw is a chic way to keep babies warm and cozy. The two-toned, eco-conscious blanket is locally manufactured from a recycled cotton blend without using any additional insecticides or fertilizers. Such an innovative and earth-friendly design is quite the modern marvel. $45, giggle.com 

 

 

Scraptopus

This teether toy is one of the most impressive uses of leftover fabric scraps we can imagine. The 8-legged stuffed animal friend is made of 100% Egyptian cotton and is as soft and squeezable as it looks. Little ones can carry the creature by a leg or its striped loop handle around the house or on outside adventures. Plus, we love the navy version for its subtle nautical flair. $15, giggle.com

 

Happy Whaley Wall Art

You can’t help but feel calm and tranquil gazing into this ocean print by artist Gale Kaseguma. A work of art exclusively available at giggle, the canvas print has decoratively finished edges and can be hung frameless for a down-to-earth effect. The piece’s rainbow of colors surrounding the most joyful of underwater giants is utterly charming. $139, giggle.com
