if the idea of a frilly bassinet doesn't fill you with joy then feast your eyes on these juicy specimens...made right here in the uk from an eco-friendly, wipe clean, breathable material, they're a refreshingly modern and practical take on the traditional baby basket (plus, once the baby grows too big they'll also make for a super bit of toy storage!)     moba modern moses basket baby bassinet colourful plastic contemporary babystylefile baby style file

baby style loves...rainbow rattles

Wednesday, May 15, 2013 • , , , , , •

as far as babies go you can never go too wrong with a rattle...these ones are ever so lovely due their pleasing colours and simple wooden forms. they're also rather good for chewing on should the urge take you (or your baby).

baby style file loves...easy to store storage

Tuesday, May 14, 2013 • , , , , , , •

storage that folds away is rather good - that way when you decide to reduce the volume of toys (i'm assured that this does happen eventually) you can easily store away the storage too. these magical 'paper' bags are in fact made from cellulose fibre, making them hard wearing and machine washable. the fact that they come in a choice of neon colours combined with cool white just makes them even better.

not only do these building blocks look utterly beautiful, they're also a rather pleasing alternative to traditional bricks. ideal for perfecting little ones hand-eye co-ordination and probably quite nice for chewing on too (if you're not quite there yet)...

baby style file loves...an indoor treehouse

Tuesday, April 30, 2013 • , , , , •

a treehouse is the sort of thing that we'd (probably) all love to have if it weren't for the complexities of building one and the need for a huge massive tree. thankfully this beautiful specimen requires no such tree or designing ability - oh and it doubles up as the sort of bed that dreams are made from...
