Woolgrub – soothing wool baby blankets

Blankets designed for littlies are a parent’s best friend and you can simply never have too many. We have an entire shelf in our linen cupboard dedicated to them, some more in the car, a few in the bedroom and two or three hidden in the living room  for snuggling on the couch.

Luxe eco accessories

One can never have too many bibs, blankets or burp cloths when raising children. Yet these essential baby accoutrements are quite often overlooked in terms of taste and fashion.
