Top Ten Baby Gift
Buys
1. Sleep
Sheep
An all-around baby shower gift is the Sleep Sheep “Audio Pacifier” by Cloud B! We’ve been carrying the Sleep Sheep since the very beginning at Polka Dot Whale and he is always a unique baby gift winner with our loyal customers. Be it the first baby or the seventh, every little bundle needs a Sleep Sheep of his or her own to soothe them off to sleep each night. The “white noise” provided by the Sleep Sheep is a wonderful to soothe newborn babies who are used to the natural sounds in the mother’s womb. We have used the Sleep Sheep with our own baby and have thoroughly enjoyed the soothing sounds of Ocean Waves, Whale Sounds, a Bubbling Brook and Spring Rain. The sound of a Mother’s Heartbeat is a baby favorite that is featured on the original full-size Sleep Sheep. The fantastic Sleep Sheep On-the-Go is a newer baby gift offering from Cloud B and features the wonderful nature sounds listed above. This smaller size Sleep Sheep On-the-Go offers the same level of sound, in a smaller package, which is perfect for the play pen, carseat, stroller and anywhere baby chooses to travel. Both the orginal and the travel size Sleep Sheep will help your little one fall asleep and stay asleep in the first few years of life and become a beloved plush companion, too. The Cloud B Sleep Sheep is a true family favorite at our house and we know it find the same treasured spot in the home of any family lucky enough to receive one as a baby shower gift!
2. Trumpette Socks
“Good things come in small packages” and Trumpette baby socks are no exception! A show-stopping, unique baby gift, Trumpette socks are packaged for giving in adorable little boxes holding six pairs of the cutest little designer baby socks you’ve ever seen. Adorable patterns like polka dots, stars and clouds and unique styles made to look like shoes garner “Ooohs and Aahhs” at each and every baby shower. Cuteness isn’t the only reason we love Trumpette socks…parents rave about the way these socks stay on their baby’s feet better than any other, don’t fade in the wash and perfectly finish off all those cute little baby outfits! Whether you choose the Trumpette Maryjane Socks for girls or the Trumpette Cowboy Socks for little boys, you cannot go wrong when you select Trumpette socks as your next baby shower gift. People just plain LOVE the way Trumpette socks look on a baby’s tiny feet! Priced right at $24, Trumpette Baby Socks are the perfect “little something” and the perfect addition to a baby layette outfit or luxurious baby blanket!
3. Baby Briefcase
When you simply don’t know what to give or the mom or dad-to-be seem to have just about everything….Baby Briefcase is the answer to your unique baby shower gift needs! The innovative and practical Baby Briefcase was made for the instance where you want to give something “useful” but know the parents have many of the basic baby items (maybe it is their second, third or fourth baby). Baby Briefcase also makes a unique and appropriate gift for a boss, co-worker or employee who is expecting! We took our Baby Briefcase to the hospital when our daughter was born and were so glad we did. We received many important papers and contact information and forms to mail in as we were checking out of the hospital and were able to file them away immediately. Then, we kept our Baby Briefcase handy as her birth certificate, social security card and doctor bills rolled in over the next couple of months. Now, we know exactly where all the important paperwork is filed when we need it. It isn’t mixed in with ours and won’t accidentally wind up in the trash! New parents are busy and exhausted people and the Baby Briefcase will help to ease a little of the stress they’ll encounter in the beginning.
4. Bebe Au Lait Nursing Covers
Parenting and Health communities are abuzz about breastfeeding! The benefits to mother and baby are countless, so many parents are choosing to give breastfeeding a go, when and if it’s possible. When you give a Bebe Au Lait Nursing Cover as a baby shower gift, you are showing your support the mom-to-be’s plan to breastfeed and we think that’s fantastic! We can hardly keep Bebe Au Lait Nursing Covers in stock here at Polka Dot Whale. We have used the Bebe Au Lait Nursing Covers ourselves, as we nursed our own little babies, and cannot say enough about the freedom and convenience it affords to the nursing mother. Many moms tell us that they never would have made it past the first month of breastfeeding if it weren’t for the confidence they found using the Bebe Au Lait Nursing Cover. The Bebe Au Lait Nursing Cover’s unique features include the adjustable neck strap and the bit of terry cloth to clean up little dribbles and burps on the go. Bebe Au Lait Nursing Covers are a unique baby shower gift for a first-time or veteran Mama that you know plans to attempt breastfeeding her little one. Bebe Au Lait Nursing Covers are lightweight cotton and also make great sunshades on the stroller or infant carseat and Baby Bjorn front-style baby carrier. Choose from any of our fantastic fabrics to give the lucky new Mama a look all her own. We always recommend that each nursing mom have one solid cover for dressier occasions in Ivory, White or Black Eyelet and one wild and fun print to use everyday. With so many fabric chooses, Mama can have a nursing cover for every day of the week if she chooses! Happy Nursing!
5. Swaddle Designs Receiving Blankets
There are not too many things that new mom and dad will actually use in the first weeks of life. Babies will eat, sleep and poop and a good rocking chair, lots of onesies, plenty of diapers and wipes, and a few superior quality Swaddle Designs Receiving Blankets will do the trick! When you select Swaddle Designs Receiving Blankets as your next baby shower gift you are definitely selecting a unique and practical baby shower gift that also has a flair for the modern style of today’s parents. Swaddle Designs Receiving Blankets are another family favorite of ours. My sister registered for a few because they were “cute” a couple of years ago and she raved about them. We knew we had to carry them at Polka Dot Whale and are so happy we did. Our daughter was swaddled in a Swaddle Designs Receiving Blanket starting at the hospital and stayed that way for the next 6 weeks. She was a cranky little girl with terrible colic and she loved to be swaddled. We ascribed to Dr. Karp’s Happiest Baby on the Block and found that Swaddle Designs Receiving Blankets are one of the only swaddling blankets on the market that are large enough to snuggly and securely swaddle your baby using Dr. Karp’s method. Swaddle Designs Receiving Blankets are recommended by Childbirth Educators, Pediatricians, Doulas, Midwives, and parents everywhere! You’ll fall in the love with the wonderful variety of solids and prints in the softest flannel. We also recommend the selection of matching Swaddle Designs Baby Burpies and Swaddle Designs Baby Lovies Security Blankets. Baby and Mom will be perfectly coordinating and thanking you for such a thoughtful and useful baby shower gift!
6. Mullins Square Tubbies Hooded Baby Towels
Bathtime is fun time for new parents and babies when you give them a Mullins Square Hooded Baby Towel, also known as a “Tubbie”, at the next baby shower! We all love the sight and smell of a baby fresh from the bath! Just when you thought that image couldn’t get anything cuter, Mullins Square Towels offers the cutest little animal and flower hooded towels of anyone we have found! We’ve been offering these towels since the beginning and our little girl is a fan of the Pastel Hooded Flower and the Pretty Pink Poodle! Fan favorites are the Spotted Dog Hooded Towel, Monkey Hooded Towel, Blue Hippo Hooded Towel, Horse Hooded Towel and Ducky Hooded Towel. Mullins Square Towels are soft and absorbent and generously sized—they can even be used by little ones from birth on up to age 4. We love Mullins Square Hooded Baby Towels for the bath, but they are also great for babies and toddlers at the beach and the pool. A year-round household staple that will make baby want to snuggle up and dry off. Hooded Baby Towels are always baby shower gift staples, so you can feel confident that you are giving an adorable, fun and useful baby gift when you give a unique Mullins Square Towel!

Diapees & Wipees is a compact fabric case designed especially for the purpose of holding a couple of diapers and a travel pack of wipes.
