Gift Guide: 7 A.M. Enfant

After having lunch in the city with two girlfriends and their babies they wheeled their strollers outside and both popped their hands into these gloves which were attached to their stroller handles. I couldn't help but think genius! These down gloves velcro around the handle and basically create glove "sleeves" - pop your hands in to stay warm but you're still holding tightly to the handle of the stroller for safety. Also quickly pull your hands out to grab a wayward pacifier or send a text. A great gift for a new mom in your life, especially a city girl who spends her days attached to her stroller! 

WarMMuffs by 7 A.M. Enfant - only $38 and comes in lots of fun color combos, even neon! 

J&C take them for a spin 

Loving their cute baby items as well - time to bundle up for the season! 

So wish this came in my size : )

Chic Chewbeads

I've been meaning to blog about this adorable jewelry before and finding out that a few more of our closest friends are going to be mommies reminded me! (Congrats mommies to be xx)

Chewbeads was founded in 2009 by a fashionable mom whose son began chewing on all her beautiful necklaces. Worried that they would break or contain unwanted chemicals, she set out to mimic her favorite jewelry in soft, non-toxic material which was colorful, chic and most importantly safe - their tagline "mommy chic, baby safe". Beads are 100% silicone, soft on babies gums, have a breakaway clasp for added safety and are dishwasher safe. And beyond cute! I actually learned about them by asking a friend where she got her cute necklace - she laughed and said it was for teething!

Available in multiple styles - my favorite is the Jane. Classic beads in a rainbow of fun colors! Great for layering and only $29.50! 

Other style include the Hudson Necklace - $36.50

Cornelia Bracelet - $11.50

Charles Bangle - $14.50

Adorable gift sets available too!

What a fun gift for your favorite mom! I might even have to grab myself one so my nephew stops chowing on all my scarves!

Baby Boomers

I'm so excited in the last few months to have found out a few of my friends are expecting little bundles of joy. And with the number of weddings we've been attending in the last two years I am sure there is going to be more and more exciting news in the year to come! I heard about a great local business the other day that I think would be the perfect gift for these mama's to be. Stork Suppers is the brainchild of Chef Jamie - who has created a service to offer chef-prepared meals to new moms and their families. Before the baby (or babies!) arrives, Chef Jamie will discuss menu options, food allergies, etc (the food looks truly delicious!) and then when the baby arrives so do the dinners. Each meal includes an entree and a side and she even includes a roll of lemon ginger snap cookies to keep in the fridge to bake up when friends and family come over for a visit. Stork Suppers would make a great baby shower gift from a group of girlfriends. See the adorable gift certificates she offers below. One week of meal is $425 plus groceries, two weeks $765 plus groceries and one month $1,500 plus groceries. Check out the amazing menu options here. For more information please contact Jamie at jamie@storksupper.com or 917-434-4655. Pamper those new mom's, they deserve it!
