The entire collection is ravishing, but I'm partial to the Hug Me Sweater ($96), which has mitten-shaped pockets. The notion of forking over near $100 for a sweater may seem silly, but having seen this line at a boutique I can attest that it has a timeless, heirloom quality. And besides, anyone who has spent a pretty penny on a holiday sweater knows fine knit doesn't come cheaply.

Sturdy Cribs to Keep Baby Safe

Many parents don't mind putting the bulk of their design budget towards the newborn's crib — the most important item in a nursery.
Safe Crib Options

Many parents don't mind putting the bulk of their design budget towards the newborn's crib — the most important item in a nursery. In recent days, some crib makers and their retailers have decided to stop manufacturing and selling the popular drop-side versions leaving many customers wondering if their current crib is a hazard.

In an effort to keep customers hazard free and to prevent further recalls, Babies R Us will no longer stock and shelve the drop-side style, but encourage consumers to buy either a fold down design or version with fixed rails. With so many cute options on the market, it's hard to pick a favorite!

Tooth Fairy

Lil Find: Oeuf Tooth Fairy Pillow

The anticipation of how much shiny change the tooth fairy will leave and the process of preparing for her visit has always struck me as one of the most precious family traditions.

If you haven't committed to a fancy inscripted tooth fairy box consider this Oeuf Tooth Fairy Pillow (on sale for $20). The knit pillow molar has a tiny pocket on the back where you can slip your lil one's deposit to the tooth fairy, and because of its U-shape it also makes a great plane and transit pillow.

A safe crib is one of the most important items new parents can invest in, but with so many styles on the market — it is easy to spend a fortune on one that blends with your current furniture choices. Over the past few years, modular cribs have become all the rage with prices to reflect their popularity.

Simple: The two-tone Baby Mod 3-in-1 Olivia Crib from Walmart ($300) is finished with non-toxic paints and easily converts from crib, to toddler bed and eventually into a daybed, allowing it to evolve with your child's growing needs.
Swank: The Oeuf Classic Crib ($890) comes in either a birch or walnut finish and easily converts into a toddler bed. Each of the crib's sides is cut from single sheets of wood panel to ensure their sturdiness.

Supersize This: Oeuf Heart Dress

Whatever the cost, I try to buy a present with meaning and purpose.

Whatever the cost, I try to buy a present with meaning and purpose. This dress by Oeuf is not only precious and well made, but it can represent so much more than a piece of clothing. When mommy and daddy tell their daughter that she has both of their hearts, she believes she has two in addition to her own. Reminding youngsters of their wealth of hearts, lil girls will relish the summery cotton knit dress in blush adorned with bright red pockets. A tad on the pricey side, the frock ($72) is sure to be a sentimental favorite as she could carry her parents' love with her throughout her playful days.
