Organic Gifts For Mommy & Baby
Who doesn’t like to receive a gift? Make that gift organic, safe for the environment and wrap it up in a gorgeous box and you’ll have us hooked. GreenBaby Gifts puts together all natural, eco friendly gifts that are super luxurious and safe for you and baby. After hearing about them from several impressed readers we had to see the gift boxes ourselves…and we ordered ourselves the Nursery Necessities Gift Box. All items are thoughtfully chosen and the presentation is very impressive. The box it came in is a gift itself.. Why wait for a baby shower when you can treat yourself momma? A beautiful box filled with all the lovely things you’ll need those first few weeks after baby arrives will make your day and who doesn’t need a little pampering? The organic crib sheet and onesie that came in the gift set are neutral in shade, and the body wash smells so yummy and won’t hurt babe’s newborn skin. Nothing “gimmicky” or wasteful, you’ll use all of the earth friendly and safe products. Greenbaby has gift boxes for mommies and toddlers too that are filled with organic goodness, and they make a smashing baby shower present. Swanky, healthy and tons of fun to open, get yourself a little piece of organic luxury at www.greenbaby-gifts.com
Jubi: Impressive & Classy Baby Basics
Chic and luxurious are the first things that came to mind when our package from JUBI arrived. We’ve heard tons of fabulous things about JUBI and we needed to find out first hand. Smart and stylish mommies in the know like HALLE BERRY already have a thing for JUBI’S soft and yummy baby products (we hear she loves their butter soft wash cloths). We tested out their all natural fitted bassinet sheet, and their super comfy Baby Basics pant and shirt set in classic black. So unbelievably soft, and the understated neutral colors are a refreshing change. We also got to test out their brilliant “dribbler” style bibs. So handy for when your little one starts to drool and you want to keep their snazzy outfit nice and clean. These are perfect gifts for that baby shower this summer you want to impress at. If new mommies CHRISTINA AGUILERA and TORI SPELLING love JUBI, chances are your mommy friends will too. You want your baby to feel calm and secure, and the soothing fabrics from JUBI do just that. Have a peek at their must have baby collection at www.jubi.us.com and tell us what you think.
Little Twig Is All That & More
We’ve tested and tried tons of baby creams, bath products and fancy shampoos over the years. It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it. We were lucky enough to finally test out an all natural bath and body product line for children called LITTLE TWIG. We’ve read that Miss Paltrow and Courteney Cox are fans, and we had to see what all the fuss was about. With all the worry over chemicals and unnecessary additives in baby products, we wanted to find something safe and natural to switch to. LITTLE TWIG uses organic and botanical ingredients that smell divine and they’re super gentle on babe’s skin. We’ve been stealing our wee one’s Lavender & Lemon & Tea Tree Body Milk and slathering it on after after our baths too…so creamy and it absorbs very quickly. Also impressive is the Tangerine & Lemon & Rosemary Bubble Bath…tons of bubbles and the scent is subtle and refreshing. Since it’s free of sulfates and parabens, it was perfect on our toddler’s sensitive skin (and mommy’s and daddy’s). For those who like their bath products scent free, LITTLE TWIG makes shampoos, washes and lotions for you too. With sweet packaging, organic ingredients, yummy scents, and an A-LIST following, LITTLE TWIG is our most favorite bath and body company for babies. We’d gush more, but we think you get the point. See why we think you should switch over to LITTLE TWIG at www.littletwig.com
Wipe Without Worry
When something catches GWENYTH PALTROW’S eye it catches our eye too at Celebrity Baby. What does GWYNNIE have in common with us? Our mutual love for ELSIE’S ORIGINAL GERM FIGHTER WIPES. These all natural wipes are perfect for cleaning toys and pacifiers when they fall out of little one’s mouths, as they do not contain alcohol or chlorine. Who has soap and water ready to go 24/7? These wipes in their handy little case will become an addiction. They’re even gentle enough to wipe away that dribble of organic carrots running down you wee one’s chin. We love the scent (organic lavender and chamomile) and how soft they are on our babe’s face. Elsie also makes bum wipes (they have a smidgen of tee tree oil), a germ fighting spray and all natural cleansing wipes…your whole body is covered! We even use them to wipe away makeup after a long mommy day. Try them out and see why Gwynnie always picks a winner. Did we mention that KATIE HOLMES and HEIDI KLUM also know how fabulous ELSIE’S WIPES are? Get cleaned up at www.elsiesoriginal.com
Pamper Yourself Like A Celebrity Mom
After a long tiring day on a movie set, celebrity moms need to rest up and unwind. If they need a break, so do you momma! After feeding, washing, cleaning and dealing with toddlers who have melt downs at the mere thought of nap time, you need to put your feet up and enjoy some “me” time. Why not pamper yourself like a fabulous star and have a little spa moment at home? Wait till the wee ones are fast asleep, pop on your guilty afternoon soap, break out the bon bons and tear into your new treat from FARMHOUSE FRESH. A favorite of celeb mommy COURTENEY COX, FARMHOUSE FRESH makes fabulous creams and scrubs that will take indulgence to a new level. We had to try their Honey Heel Glaze after hearing so much about it, and we are hooked. It smells so delicious that it should have a “do not eat warning”. It comes in a charming jam jar and includes a little application brush to make it even more posh. It’s our new obsession. Our heels are soft and subtle just in time for spring. We recommend exfoliating with FARMHOUSE FRESH Fine Foot Scrub first (an Oprah fave), as this makes the glaze even more effective. So put aside the laundry, let the dishes soak and let the baby nap an extra half hour. Get gorgeous heels at www.farmhousefreshgoods.com in the US, and our Canadian mommies can go to www.summersoles.ca
Mommy Makeover
January is the perfect time to switch things up and do something for yourself momma! It’s time to toss the old and bring in the new. We started with the basics here at Celebrity Baby Clothes and love the results. We’ve ditched all our old makeup and upgraded to the fabulous and luxurious JANE IREDALE line of skin care makeup. A long time favorite of celebrity moms who need to have healthy glowing skin (NICOLE KIDMAN and TERI HATCHER are said to be fans), JANE IREDALE uses the highest quality minerals to help soothe, protect and enhance your beauty. We are hooked on their Loose Mineral Powder….so smooth and makes my skin feel soft and flawless. Also on our must have list is their Sugar & Butter Lip Duo. One end has an exfoliator made of beeswax and organic brown sugar while the other end has a tinted lip plumper that makes you look fabulous while you run errands with the kids. The beauty buzz of 2007 was mineral makeup, so start with the best and check out JANE’S creations. They’re free of all those nasty chemicals and talc “fillers”, and have an A-List following. Click on over to www.janeiredale.com and start your mommy makeover.
Love That Tummy
For all you pregnant mommies out there, have we got something fab for you! As you know, anything GWYNETH PALTROW has, we need to have (yes…still slightly obsessed). She was gifted a while back with BELLA B’S brilliant TUMMY HONEY, a must have to keep that growing belly baby soft and itch free. We’ve been hooked since and just had the chance to try their amazing eye cream. It really helped with the dark circles, and that chronic morning puffiness (if it could only convince the toddler to sleep through the night!). Love the subtle and refreshing scent and that it costs way less that any other eye cream I’ve tried. What more do you need? Owned by Gwynnie and tested and approved by us at Celebrity Baby Clothes, BELLA B is a definite must have. Check out all Mother’s Intuition has to offer at www.mothersintuition.com
Email us at celebritybabyclothescontest@gmail.com and tell us who your favorite celebrity mommy is and we’ll send you a Tummy Honey 3 Pack. One winner,random draw December 19 at midnight. Good Luck mommies!
Keep It Klean
There is nothing more enjoyable after a long day of diaper changes, flying apple sauce, and runny noses (not to mention mountains of laundry and trying to decide what everyone will eat for supper) than locking yourself away in the bathroom with new spa products. I am a product junky, and our latest discovery has me wrapped in pure bliss. KLEAN BATH+BODY makes the most delicious scrubs, body butters and massage oils. Our favorite here at Celeb Baby Clothes? Has to be the scrumptious Brown Sugar Body Polish…I’ve never been so smooth. Didn’t even need moisturizer after using it, but since indulgence is key with any home spa experience, slathering on the Whipped Shea Butter seemed appropriate. KLEAN uses natural ingredients like almond oil, shea butter, coffee and green tea oil. Their scrubs are effective and the scents are super relaxing. So book yourself some “me” time momma and lock the bathroom door, pour a yummy glass of Shiraz, fill the tub and soak and scrub the evening away. Get KLEAN at www.kleanbathandbody.com
Mommy Time
As much as I love shopping for my little dear, I love treating myself to a present every now and then too. We deserve it mommas…those babies aren’t raising themselves. Between all the dirty diapers, apple sauce on the walls and endless onesies to wash, you need a moment to yourself. Don’t wait for anyone to spoil you…spoil yourself. The other day we tested out a fab new soap that has “Mommy Time” written all over it. BIGGS & FEATHERBELLE, a fave of the gorgeous HEIDI KLUM, makes a scrumptious soap called Momma Bear that is all natural and full of essential oils to keep you soft and smooth. The minute we opened it we knew it was going to be a favorite of ours here at Celeb Baby Clothes as well. The scent of lavender hits you immediately and when I got out of the tub (the only place a mom can truly escape the madness) my skin was super soft. I didn’t even put cream on, and I always put cream on. Must be the olive and avocado oil they use. BIGGS & FEATHERBELLE make balms and soaks that are free of all those crazy chemicals. Love it! We think this soap will make a spot on Christmas gift or shower present. A mom-to-be needs all the relaxing lavender she can get. Lather up with Momma Bear at www.biggsandfeather.com.
New York Style
We have to tell you about a fabulous new boutique in New York City that will become an absolute addiction. PINK OLIVE BOUTIQUE, located in the East Village, is all about babies, gifts and great getaway gear, three subjects we love here at Celebrity Baby Clothes. We think their well thought through collection of onesies, stationary and clothing is fresh and so chic. Love the layout and the look of this Manhattan gem. If you are a sucker for original onesies, then may we suggest PINK OLIVE'S own line of yummy treats? We love our tutu wearing olive with "Perf" written across the front of the onesie. So delicious. TRISTA SUTTER of The Bachelorette ( loved that show…best guilty pleasure ever) received a PINK OLIVE original too. She got the diapered olive with "Waah". Don't fret momma if you can't make it over to lower Manhattan, cause PINK OLIVE has an online boutique too. Put your tired feet up, take a sip of that much needed skinny latte and check out www.pinkoliveboutique.com
