Lately it’s been a bit of a baby boom around the office and it’s really got me thinking if pregnancy had its own version of the Menstrual synchrony phenomenon. For those unfamiliar with the term that’s the phenomenon where the menstrual cycles of women who live together for an extended period of time reportedly became synchronized over time. It’s quite the puzzle because the babies were just being born days to a week apart and the presently conceiving are finding their dates really close to one another.
Well it’s all very puzzling and fascinating but it also means a string of baby showers and baby/kids gifts to prepare. And personally I think it always helps to solve the question of what to get when there’s a theme – so this round I’m going to go with Cute, Organic or Natural and crocheted. My go-to shop for such sustainable, safe for baby and undeniably cute stuff is Pebbles by Hathay Bunano . I guess you could say the number of items they have are limited (7 classes of items) but there’s a variety under each of those classes.
1. Baby Rattles
This shop makes the cutest softest baby rattles! I absolutely adore them. From bunnies to birds, pixies to cutesy monsters… they make crochet rattles safe enough for your baby to chew on.
2. Baby blankets
You know those cute blankets attached to a toy? Well Pebble makes very cute and unique crochet doudous that your child will be comforted by in bed.
But they also make conventional blankets to keep your child warm, but they aren’t really all that conventional because again they are crocheted and they are so colourful. They even have patchwork crochet blankets!
3. Toys
Plushies are always loved by kids but these crochet toys will be just as welcomed. They are soft and brightly coloured and they make them in all kinds of shapes and sizes. They have animal toys, pixie toys, dinosaur toys, fairtytale toys and much more. The sight of your child dragging one of these cute toys as he walk will melt your heart.
4. Hats
Soft, colourful crochet hats to keep your baby’s head warm. You simply will be sold.
Another reason why I support Pebble is because they are fair trade products. All Pebble products are made in Bangladesh and help support the local community. Pebble products contribute to supporting families in rural Bangladesh, reducing their need for economic migration to the cities and providing a work opportunity to the local women that will not take them away from their family and home.
