From Cloud B comes the Sleep Sheep. It’s the perfect gift to give for those who have fussy babies who have a hard time sleeping at night. The Sleep Sheep is a 12″ plush sound machine with four soothing sounds; Mother’s heartbeat, spring showers, ocean waves, and whale songs. Created to be attached outside the crib or as a plush for the baby once the sound machine device is removed.

Pee-Pee Teepe

From Beba Bean it’s the Pee-pee Teepee. A great gift for those who have mishaps changing baby boys. The Pee-pee Teepee is a 100% cotton cone-shaped cloth which is used during changing to provide an extra hand and makes sure diaper changes are dry and easy! Each package comes with five Teepees.

100% Organic Cotton SleepSack Wearable Blanket

Halo created the SleepSack Wearable Blanket to keep babies safe at night by replacing dangerous lose blankets. This wearable blanket carries the “#1 Safe Sleep Product” gold seal from First Candle/SIDS Alliance, and makes the perfect gift for new mothers and those who are just worrywarts. The SleepSack comes in organic cotton, which is free of dyes, chemicals, and preservatives. Great for those who are concern with both safety and the environment.

California Baby Holiday Cheer Gift Tote

California Baby’s Limited Edition Holiday Cheer! Gift Tote is the great gift to give this season if you really don’t know what to give. The tote comes with a bubble bath, aromatherapy spritzer, and bath mesh. The limited edition Holiday Cheer! scent is a blend of orange, lavender, and a touch of vanilla. All products from California Baby are used with essential oils and contain organic and sustainably grown ingredients. The biodegradable bubble bath is non-drying and is free of sodium lauryl sulfate and DEA.
