Trying to chose a baby suit?  Although I hope you're feeling spoilt for choice, you may be finding the various options confusing, so I'm going to break it down for you.

Baby suits are a great choice of babywear as they keep baby snug and warm and they're an affordable way to add functional clothing into your gift box.  All baby suits in my store are made from 100% organic cotton.  

In the Wilson & Frenchy collection you'll find the complete Autumn Winter 2022 range of suits, these are all those with long sleeves.  If you're lucky, you may still find some short sleeve styles from the Spring Summer 2021 collection.  These are suitable for warmer climates and perfect for layering.  They're also on sale, so there are some amazing bargains to be had.

Within the AW2022 collection, there are Growsuits and Zipsuits.  Put simply, Zipsuits have a one-way zip and Growsuits don't. Growsuits feature buttons and snap button fasteners instead.

There are two styles of Growsuit - the French Terry Slouch and Waffle Slouch. 

The French Terry Slouch Growsuits have a relaxed fit, are lightweight, comfortable and made from soft-washed cotton. They feature a henley neckline for easy dressing and a snap leg opening for quick nappy changes. They also have the cutest knee patches to protect baby's knees while on the go.  This design doesn't have feet, so you may want to consider popping a cute pair of Lamingtons into your gift box.  Look for the Cameo Rose, Pretty Floral, Arctic and Dijon French Terry Slouch Growsuits.

The Waffle Slouch Growsuits are warm and comfortable, and have a relaxed fit.  They're made from 100% organic waffle cotton and feature a henley neckline and snap leg opening.  They have adorable patch pocket accents.  Look for the Peony Fleck, Mint Fleck, Fog Fleck and Blue Fleck Waffle Slouch Growsuits.

When it comes to zipsuits, there are three styles - printed, printed rib and striped rib organic cotton zipsuits.

The printed zipsuits are cosy and gentle on baby's sensitive skin with a gorgeous all over hand-illustrated print.  These suits have fold-over feet to fully enclose baby's feet while allowing for growth. Look for the So Peachy, Hello Birdie, Lovely Lemons, Mr Fox, Forest Animals, Hello Fern, and The Forest Zipsuits.

The printed Rib Zipsuits are made from snug-fitting stretch wide-rib cotton.  They feature fold-over feet and an all-over hand-illustrated print.  Look for the Robin, Pretty Floral, Little Leaf and Tiny Feather Rib Zipsuits.

The finely striped Rib Zipsuits are also snug-fitting and made from a narrow rib cotton. These zipsuits have all-in-one feet.   Look for the Cameo Rose, Coral, Arctic, Dijon and Blue Depths Rib Zipsuits.

All zipsuits in size 0-3 months also feature fold over mittens to protect baby's face from little fingernails.

The choices are many but you really can't go wrong when you're guided by your likes and budget (and this little explanation from me).

If you're still a little unsure and would benefit from some more advice, please reach out to me.  I'm always happy to further assist.

Snuggle Hunny Kids' 2022 Autumn Winter swaddles have arrived!

Located in the Swaddles and Snuggle Hunny Kids collections, are the gorgeous new Palm Springs, Rosette and Woodland designs in soft organic cotton muslin.

The Palm Springs design features breezy palm trees in earthy warm tones.  The sweetest blooms grace the Rosette design and ever-popular forest friends feature on the neutral Woodland design.

These muslins swaddles are large, lightweight and breathable, making them perfect for multiple uses - a pram blanket, comforter, nursing shield, and change mat.

Also versatile and perfect for swaddling are the stretch jersey wraps.  This range now features the delicate and romantic floral Esther wrap with matching topknot.  In contrast, the new Milky Way wrap with matching beanie is wonderous and bold.

My Snuggle Hunny Kids collection, features a range of easy-to-shop SHK accessories designed to perfectly complement these new swaddles.

With its unique designs and over half a million Instagram followers, it's no wonder Snuggle Hunny Kids is favoured by parents, and a popular gift-choice.  

Okay, so I am channelling a little Dirty Dancing as I sit and write with music in my ears.  But seriously, have you seen Pop Ya Tot's latest swaddle collection?  They're certainly not for decorating the corner of a nursery.  They're absolutely stunning and will find their way front and centre on baby, in all those newborn snaps and Insta posts.

Pop Ya Tot's 2022 collection has a whimsical, vintage feel, characterised by nostalgic imagery and warm hues.

You'll fall in love with the sweet Vintage Kids and Musical Ted swaddles. There's something very comforting and classic about the Lancaster check and Chantilly Lace designs.  The Cloudy Skies swaddle is totally dreamy and you just can't go past the Little Gem for daintiness.

All these luxurious muslin swaddles are made from 100% organic cotton.

Obviously they are perfect for swaddling, but their multiple uses make them a very practical and welcomed gift.  They can be used as a stroller cover, burp cloth, light blanket, privacy cover and a change mat.

These swaddles are so beautiful.  No one will ever put them in a corner.

Say hello to Wilson & Frenchy's latest collection.  The next instalment has just arrived and it's full of gorgeous babywear options for Autumn and Winter.

The three styles to have arrived are the Organic French Terry Growsuit, the Organic Waffle Slouch Growsuit and the Organic Rib Zipsuit.  All styles are made of all-natural fabrics.

The Organic French Terry Growsuit is a mid-weight garment, perfect for layering and wearing out and about in cool weather.  The tiny looped underside is soft and won't aggravate baby's skin.  Soft-washed for extra comfort, it's durable for growing and moving little bodies and is super comfortable to wear.

The fabric in the Organic Waffle Slouch Growsuit is lightweight, absorbent and soft.  The waffle weave has thermal properties, providing warmth and insulation by trapping body heat and forming a warm layer next to the skin - perfect for keeping little bodies comfortable and protected.

The Organic Rib Zipsuit features a superior quality, body-hugging soft-rib cotton for a snug fit.  Even with regular wearing and washing, it won't stretch out of shape.

Original Wilson & Frenchy drawings are a feature on many of the suits.  These attractive designs capture images of floating feathers, falling leaves, Australian botanicals and more.  A broad and attractive colour palette underlies all pieces and it's easy to pair pieces together as they are carefully designed to complement each other.

When you choose Wilson & Frenchy, you're not only choosing beautiful babywear, you're also supporting an Australian home-grown brand with an ethical approach, committed to quality and sustainability.

This week we welcomed Buddy and Boots, two adorable pups looking for love.  These loyal dogs are the creations of Nana Huchy, one of our favourite Aussie brands.

According to his bio, "Buddy, or Bud as he is more commonly known, is a shy and gentle dog.  He is the kind of dog that will do anything for his master.  Although he is shy, he is also unbelievably smart & can be taught all kinds of tricks!"

Boots, on the other hand, "is a dog with his head in the clouds.  He's often found gazing at reflection in puddles or having a philosophical discussion with Buddy the Dog & chatting with humans."

Know a little one who could fall in love with Buddy or Boots?

All Nana Huchy creations have their own unique personalities, and if you're not a puppy person, you may prefer a koala, dinosaur, elephant, donkey, pig, camel, cow, lion, bear, bunny... the list goes on.  Every character-filled creature is beautifully soft and of superior quality.  These toys are a wonderful inclusion in a unique baby hamper and are guaranteed to add personality and warmth.

Enjoy browsing Room to Bloom's Nana Huchy collection.

Foxx & Willow Melody Teethers were so popular, they sold out. The good news is, they're back!  And the better news is, there are two new seasonal colours - Dusky Mauve and Terracotta.

Now in case you're wondering, they're called melody teethers as the beech wood rings make the sweetest little sound when shaken about.

Besides being perfect for soothing baby's sensitive gums and being made in Australia (Brisbane, actually), these teethers are just so pretty. There's a rainbow of gelato colours available, designed to match in with Room to Bloom's Autumn/Winter Babywear collection.  Can't choose just one?  Why not give two?

Importantly, all Foxx & Willow teethers have been independently tested to be AUS/NZS 8124 safety compliant.

With the winter chill clearly on the way, now's a great time to think about giving some cosy gifts.  I've just launched some beautiful new gifts which are definitely cosy and winter-ready.

Bonnet & Bootie sets never go out of style, in fact, they just keep getting more stylish and more popular.  Snuggle Hunny Kids has added two new colours to its range of 100% Merino Wool Bonnet & Bootie sets - Olive and Fawn.  These colours are absolutely on-trend and complement Room to Bloom's Babywear collection.  Most importantly though, these sets are high quality, natural, soft, warm and perfect for keeping baby comfortable.

Our new range of Lamington socks are also made of comfy merino wool.  Designed to stay on and stay up, they're an essential item for little feet during the cooler months.  These crew and knee-high socks are both sweet and stylish.

If you prefer organic cotton, you'll find a wide range of knotted beanie options within the Headwear, Socks & Shoes collection.  There are new styles, colours and prints from Snuggle Hunny Kids, including new ribbed cotton beanies in Olive and Pebble, and the new Lion Knotted Beanie which is very cute.

A beautiful blanket also makes a thoughtful gift as the temperature cools.  Our Snuggle Hunny Kids Diamond Blankets are made from 100% breathable cotton and are available in a range of stunning colours, so there's definitely something to suit all nursery decors.  These blankets are heirloom quality and destined to be enjoyed over and over.

Winter's looking so good!  I can't wait to deliver these gorgeous gifts to newborn miracles right across this Australian winter wonderland.

It feels like Christmas when I receive a delivery of the latest Wilson & Frenchy babywear.  It's such a treat to open the box and reveal the new season's designs. 

Three new zipsuit designs landed this week (Drop 1), each with the sweetest hand-drawn illustrations for which Wilson & Frenchy is renowned. 

Firstly, there's the Lovely Lemons design.  It's delightful and fresh and features soft buttery tones.  Can you also spot the little bees doing their important work?

Next up is the Busy Bee design featuring falling leaves and busy bees buzzing.  This design looks really stunning when paired with mint-tone gifts such as the Jellycat Bashful Green Sparklet Bunny and the My Little Giggles Mint Cactus teether.

Lastly there's the Forest Animals design. Its fun, quirky and the whimsical Forest Animal print is wonderful and timeless.  My gift styling tip? While this design is complemented beautifully by a range of colour tones, it looks particularly stunning when boxed or worn with soft greys and warm browns.

These new designs are a beautiful way to celebrate the new season. Because each Wilson & Frenchy piece is of the highest quality, unique, timeless and specially-designed for a precious growing body, it makes the perfect choice of gift.

I'd love to know which new Wilson & Frenchy design is your favourite.  If you have a moment, please let me know in the comments section below.

If you love them all, just wait for Drop 2 of the 2022 Autumn/Winter collection to arrive.  Stay tuned, it's coming soon!

There are soft toys, and then there are SOFT toys.  If you've every held a Jellycat toy you'll know exactly what I mean.  The first time I picked up a Jellycat toy, I realised why they were becoming so popular (I also thought, "Jellycat" is a really strange name!).  The fur is superbly soft and their bodies are perfectly weighted for cuddles and sitting on their own.  They also have the cutest little faces, bursting with personality.

Since I began stocking Jellycat, I've carried over 50 styles, including but not limited to the Bashful bunnies.  Based in London, Jellycat regularly introduces new colours and characters to the range, so there's always something new.  Check out my latest arrivals in the Jellycat collection including the aqua green Bashful Sparklet bunnies.  These are available in the small and medium sizes with twinkly stars in their flopsy ears.  They are super cute and gender-neutral. Other new items in the collection are Fossilly Stegosaurus and Bashful Fudge puppy. Every Jellycat toy is so adorable, it makes it difficult to choose a favourite.  It's no wonder this brand appeals to young and old and has a worldwide following.

If you're wondering how the quirky name Jellycat came about, it was dreamt up by a child who loved jellies and cats and giggled at the thought of the two together.  It's as simple and silly as that.  Made for laughs and for love.

There's really nothing quite as sweet as tiny baby feet.

I'm really excited to announce the arrival of our Lamington 2022 collection. Just like those sweet little feet, Lamington socks are so adorable.  Lamington socks are designed to "stay on and stay up" while keeping baby's feet warm and dry. Made in New Zealand from Merino wool, all socks in the range are soft, moisture-wicking and breathable and because they're designed by mums, you know they'll tick all the boxes.

As with all Room to Bloom gifts, these high quality socks are an essential baby item new parents will really appreciate. 

In a range of stylish colours and designs, you'll find the perfect pair to complement your Room to Bloom Baby Gift Hamper.
