We fell in love with these little shearling booties when they hit our desk this week... and cooed even more when we saw the high-top trainers!  They make an ideal gift for a new baby and stand in a league of their own when pitted against traditional baby gifts.

My 1st Years use the latest embroidery technology to print personal messages on the smallest of items for newborn babies. They are loved by celebrity mums Dannii Minogue and Denise Van Outen, who have both tweeted about them. Dannii’s son Ethan has been photographed wearing his specially-designed high=top trainers!

You can chose from various products, colours and styles, so whether it’s the perfect newborn blanket you are searching for, or your babies first pair of sheepskin booties or high top trainers, My 1^st Years has it all.

They can be purchased and designed online via the website.

If you’re deliberating over whether to opt for a gift that’s tangible or monetary for a Christening, birthday or new birth then you’d do well to consider Bridgewater’s baby bowl. It’s the kind of gift that will not only prove its worth at teatime but find itself a winner in the sentimentality stakes long after the little one has out-grown it.

Emma Bridgewater charges £1 per character to personalise this gorgeous bowl (in addition to the quoted price) – well worth it in my book!
