I usually don't do this....

'Tis the season of SPLURGING....for others!  I know you guys, since when do I ever splurge?  Well, now that I have a nephew and a niece, Griffin and Viola I have to get them the greatest things, so that I can buy their love.  Auntie lives far away from those two pumpkins, and I still have YET to meet Viola who was born in July.  After Griffin was born, I wanted to send him something super cute and thoughtful to welcome him into the world.  So I googled all sorts of baby clothing stores and wanted whatever I sent him to be unique.  I searched under terms like "unique newborn gifts", "funky baby clothes", things like that.  Well, I came across "Toby Tiger" a baby boutique in England.  THEYHAVETHECUTESTSTUFFEVER.  If you have to get some baby gifts and want them to be high quality and memorable, check them out for sure:  www.tobytiger.com

 Here's Griffin in a romper I got him:

I mean, seriously.  Effing adorable, right?  I also got him this hat:  



I also got a matching blanket to go with the hat...this particular color isn't on their website right now but when Viola was born I wanted to get her some of the same things I got Griffin, but just in pink.  So here's the blanket set I got her:

And of course I had to get the girl version of the elephant romper:


Lastly, I had to get her a little something extra that I didn't get Griffin, since I had a feeling it would be a while before I met her.  They also have some cute stuffed animals, and the line is called "Granimals".  I got her this Zebra one, and since it's black and white, Jenny and Colin said she was looking at it a lot (a plus I didn't even think about....I forgot they say babies see in black and white when they're first born.  Or is that dogs?  Oh well, either they it caught her eye):



Not only is everything adorable, but I think most items are 100% organic cotton.  Just be aware of what you're spending.  The pricing is in Euros, so make sure you translate it to yourself in dollars so you know how much you're actually spending.  Even though it's international, you can just give them your debit or credit card info. They ship fairly quickly and their customer service is easy to reach via e-mail.   You can include a personal gift message in there as well at no charge.

So happy splurging!  Let me know what you get if you decide to splurge at tobytiger.com!
