Holistic slippers soothe and aid sleep

These luxury silk and velvet bootees are quite desirable enough already, but they have an additional selling point: lavender is sewn into the lining, as a natural enticement to sleep. It might seem strange to put a sleep aid into shoes, until you remember that a baby's feet aren't far from his face much of the time, especially once that cute toes-in-the-mouth thing starts.

Now, it seems to me that a bleary-eyed mother will buy anything that promises a good night's sleep. My advice? Don't expect too much from these bootees, but enjoy them for their look, feel - and scent!
