Our new find, Noonoo, makes fabulous comfort blankets and playthings that are are designed using unbleached and organic cotton, bamboo and organic lambswool. How fantastic is that?

Love the use of genuine children’s art and the fact that this comfort blanket is totally machine washable (washable is the only way to go mommies!). Noonoo also makes the most brilliant organic and bamboo Sheep Rattle that will become your favorite baby shower gift to give. It’s rattle is so subtle that it will sooth baby and not give mommy a headache. What more do you need? We think Noonoo’s creations are classy and luxurious and definitely celeb mommy worthy.

We are simply in love with the creative toys from the uber cool HABA. This is a company that has your child’s imagination and entertainment needs figured out. Our favorite? It has to be their fabulous grocery store toys. Our little drama queen is obsessed with her HABA sandwich set…it comes with soft fabric toast, and felt made cheese and lunch meats. How delicious is that? Made with bright bold colors, these pretend groceries are so simple, yet so creative. She spends hours making sandwiches for all her dollies (gives the busy momma lots of time to make real meals for the family!). We’re also digging HABA’S wooden miniature milk cartons, and brilliant tins of veggies.
