TRUST ME YOU’LL LOVE THIS: keepsakes for your hatchlings
I popped in our local hardware store last week and found myself so distracted by the wooden crate of newly hatched baby chicks by the register that I almost forgot my purpose in stopping! There is something so compelling about little ones… regardless of species! We live in a rural mountain community and the verdant pastures on our drive to town this spring have us scanning the grassy fields for daily new arrivals. Babies are everywhere as well as expectant parents feathering nests and preparing for new additions. Even in my own family, we are eagerly awaiting the arrival of a new great niece at the end of May!
Newborns are a big focus for us in Sprout, and whether you are looking for something traditional or a bit more whimsical, we are chock full of fun ideas! I especially love giving something with keepsake value…like our Heirloom Swaddler. This keepsake blanket commemorates baby’s birth and can be customized using embroidery thread, non-toxic permanent markers or non-toxic acrylic paint. Our framed “Cherish the Little Things” kit supplies everything a busy parent needs to capture baby’s first hand and footprint in an adorable ready-to-hang piece of art for the nursery or bath.
Our precious organic cotton “Just Hatched” kimono romper is a new gender neutral favorite. Pair with a matching swaddle….. or our “Just Hatched” handmade wool mobile. If you are putting together a basket of surprises, our friends at Noodle & Boo make the most wonderful reed diffuser in their Signature Crème Douce fragrance for a clean and fresh ambiance in the nursery. And our precious duckling finger puppet is a perfect addition to any “hatchling” basket!
Themed gift collections are also fun! From Oli and Carol’s charming Forest Collection of handmade teethers and bath toys, their original rabbit design from the sixties is so dear. Pair with our pewter rabbit baby cup and one of our plush black and white “Sprout” bunnies for a meaningful gift with a retro feel.
We have loved working with grandparents on their way to visit new arrivals for the first time since covid! Hooray! Thank you for letting us be a part of this joyful time!
