Gifts for the littlest ones: MyBabyGift hampers (Review and giveaway!)

Hello! This is Baby J here. Or rather, Baby J number 3, since my brothers were also referred to as Baby J when they were younger. One nice thing about being the third baby of the family is that you have two playmates in the house to play with, and you get loads of renditions of the alphabet song and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" across the day. And you have lots of toys at home, since your two older brothers would have accumulated a whole pile before you came along. The only thing is, you usually have to fight them for it. And in terms of clothes and baby stuff, I have loads to choose from, except everything tends to be well, third-hand (or even fifth-hand...). 

So it was really nice of the folks at MyBabyGift to send my Mama a beautiful hamper to review, containing lots of lovely things. And some of these even had my name on it (which hopefully means my brothers won't snatch them from me)! 

These nice things were packed into a box tied up with a pretty ribbon...

... and everything inside was nicely packaged and tied up with ribbons too!

There were nice bodysuits made of 100% cotton, which I will probably get to wear during Chinese New Year. The pillowcase and blanket both had my name embroidered on it, and were made of soft cotton. Mama said that I could use the pillow next time when I was older, and that I would like playing with the little ribbon tags on the blanket. (Mama adds: The blanket measures 90x100 cm, which is great for swaddling, and large enough to follow them up to toddlerhood.)

The towel had my name on it too! And it was soft and plush, which makes bath time really comfortable. My brothers ran off with the pony rattle (this one is by Pepite pour Enfants), but I'm still no good at holding stuff so hopefully they'll return it to me soon!

Mama adds:

I really loved how different this hamper was from the usual hampers! Embroidering the names on the blankets, pillows, towels and bodysuits was a nice personal touch. I also liked how everything was made of soft cotton, and that the fabrics were of soft muted pastel shades. 

Aside from the items pictured here, MyBabyGift also stocks other items such as Sophie the Giraffe toys, GAIA bath products and even champagne. These items can be mixed and matched into a hamper of your choice (or you can choose from existing options on their website). So if you are thinking of sending a nice personal gift to a friend who has just had a baby, this might be a good place to shop! (They have recently launched their global website, which allows for delivery across Asia.)
