Perfectly personalized gift sets

Nothing is sweeter than receiving a baby gift that has been personalized. A baby blanket will get an "ahh" at a shower, but add a monogram to it and it turns into "OOHH, that is so sweet!"

Monogrammed baby gifts come in all shapes, sizes and sets. Pairings of blankets, lovies, bibs, blankets and burp cloths can make a perfect gift for a shower or freshly delivered babe. And, adding a perfect personalization to your baby gift will make it very memorable.

Here are some of our favorite sets that can be personalized:

Angel Dear Monkey Gift Bundle

Angel Dear Bunny Gift Bundle

Cuddlebee Retro Bib/Burp Set

Dwell Chocolate Bib/Burp Set

Swaddle Design White/Black Burp Cloth Set

Orange you glad I didn’t say pink?

Knock, knock. Who’s there? A fresh alternative to pink!

As soon as the words “it’s a girl” roll off your tongue, the gifts start arriving in every shade of pink imaginable. Bright pink, pastel pink, everything she now owns is pink, pink, pink.

We do love pink. For its sweetness, its symbolism, and for nothing else, its way of subtly labeling a little bub not so blessed in the hair department.

But a girl’s gotta have some variety, and right now, we’re absolutely craving orange. It’s vivid, cheerful, and modern, just like your little gal.

Here are a couple of our faves in this fresh hue:

Zutano Marigold Swing Top: ease in with lots of complementary pinks and reds

Zutano Marigold Tee: a punchy tee with teeny pink details

Zutano Orange Candy Stripe Leggings: for legs as tasty as little creamsicles

Posh Baby Orange Shirt/Dress: a grown-up a-line shape with adjustable straps

Press for Peas = deals on Dwell.

Pregnancy Magazine and Hot Mom’s Club have joined fabulous forces to create the ultimate “New Mom’s Handbook”, and Two Blue Peas made the cut!

Our Garden Baby Bedding Set and Petal Dots Rug by Dwell Baby each graced their own page with a juicy photo and shout out to Two Blue Peas. So we’re offering a 10% discount on these pieces for a limited time! Use code “LoveDwell” at checkout.

Besides being psyched about the press, we think these ladies did a great job on pulling together the best-of-the-best in gear, fashion, and how-to advice. Plus they managed to nab a few minutes with busy celeb mama Bridgette Wilson-Sampras.

Bridgette’s advice to new moms? “You have to do what’s right for you and that isn’t necessarily going to be right for your friends. Your rhythm and process and how you do it might be different, and you don’t have to justify it, you just have to be.” Well said sister!

The "New Mom's Handbook" is now available and will be on stands until October 6.

Gorgeous slings for carrying your bub

Have baby, will travel? Once your little one arrives, running around town becomes a major ordeal. There are many methods to haul your little one – strollers, baby carriers, car seats and (my favorite) baby slings.

Serena & Lily have created the most gorgeous baby sling. The Catalina Market Sling is modern, graphic and hip enough to accentuate your wardrobe. Made of 100% brushed organic cotton, it is the simplest sling that is so easy to wear.

Slip this sling on, put baby in. Done. No cinching, wrapping or adjusting needed. Which, when faced with a crying baby, is much appreciated. You can also roll-up the Serena & Lily Market Sling, put it in your diaper bag and be ready to hit the town.

Check out the bold, beautiful patterns in black and coral. And, happy slinging!
