We’re thinking make it simple, order all six! $20 includes gift-wrapping, tee, and childish delight at tatico.com.

stylish and eco-friendly blankets

In fact, the entire Babysoy line is gorgeous; made with cozy and soft soy fiber and designed to easily coordinate with all of the other Babysoy pieces. This combination of style and function is bundled perfectly in the signature-soft blankets, which are double colored and duo-layered (ocean/tea is fabulous!).

sleep tight
tot trends weekly This winter, bag the baby blankets and layers of onesies…baby will be toasty, safe and sleeping soundly (and finally, so will you!) with a Snowflake Quilted Grembo Bag. The Grembo Bag features a side zipper and shoulder snaps that allow easy diaper changes and keep baby surrounded by warmth all night. An outer layer of organic sateen sheeting is quilted to a layer of hypoallergenic polyester for warmth, and then lined with a natural color terry cloth.

clean baby naturally
tot trends weeklyNurture baby naturally with Nature’s Baby; a beautiful line of 100% natural and botanically based hair and skin care products. What we put on baby’s skin is oh so important, so we love that with Nature’s Baby every ingredient in every product is 100% derived from nature. We also love that with Shampoo-Body Wash and Conditioners in Vanilla-Tangerine or Lavender-Chamomile; baby will smell like a baby, instead of overpowering perfumes! Bathe baby in luxury…naturally!

Baby’s skin will truly be the softest thing on earth, when treated to Erbaviva’s Organic Body Oil. Erbaviva offers wonderful, upscale baby products made only from the highest quality organic and wildcrafted essential oils. We loved how the Organic Baby Oil was light and nourishing. Perfect for after-bath moisturizing, protecting the diaper area, and for preventing wind-chapped cheeks this fall, we agree that Erbaviva’s Organic Baby Oil is "indispensable"!
