Beauty and the Bib

Sometimes companies make only one product, but they do it really, really well. Beauty and the Bib is a case in point: who would have thought the humble bib could be improved upon?

And yet here you will find bibs of all shapes and sizes: bibs for those who like to dress up as a sprig of holly at Christmas time, bibs for fans of ladybirds, cupcakes, strawberries… and much, much more. There is even a wide selection of larger sizes for those with special needs, and I'm sure that must be a sector which is generally overlooked in this area.

The company was set up by a mum of four incorrigible dribblers. She disliked cloth bibs, which allowed the moisture to soak through, but found the plastic-backed ones frustrating as they couldn't be tumble-dried. Thus these unique creations were born, each constructed of two layers with padding in between.

Ach, Christmas is coming, and I need the baby in a cute outfit for the Christmas cards. I have a terrible feeling the holly sprig look might be the answer.
