Owl clock: the wise decision
Surely everyone would appreciate the simple yet sophisticated design of this owl wall clock? Sadly, at £49.99, it doesn't come cheap. OK, stop me now before I riff on the 'and it doesn't GO cheep' jokes.

Teach Baby to Eat Right with Petit Flaneur
God knows (or more like "Parent Knows") it's hard to get many kids to eat their vegetables! Why not make it easier on yourself by exposing them even before can eat. Just hang Petit Flaneur's veggies mobile over crib and watch as its gentle movements literally hypnotize your infant into eating right. No? Well, it's also great from a purely aesthetic standpoint. Handcrafted from 100% wool felt and birch micro plywood, these mobiles are so creative and fun that they certainly wet my appetite! (At least from a design point of view.)
Also available in the 4-and-other-non-food groups.

Balloon Family Tree
A recent school project had us making family trees at home. The kids really loved learning about their "ancestors"; we went back several generations, a jumble of Irish, Russian, Salvadoran and Nicaraguan folk. Sarah Neuberger of The Small Object has always made CUTE products that appeal to both kids and grown ups. That singular sensibility is apparent in this version of a family tree where love and family intersect. Fully customizable, it makes a great gift.

Paper Dolls
Seems like the love for Alexander Girard is never ending. Now available exclusively at Urban Outfitters a few of his designs for the home. I am smitten with this paper doll wall art to decorate a little girl's room. Sweet, simple, punchy.

Big Town print
As a small child, I used to love any image showing towns or streets that I could trace my finger through and pretend to be walking through myself. I guess I've never lost that, because pictures like this Big Town print still call out to me. Couple that with the lovely background (chartreuse, would you say?) and you have something that is proving almost irresistible, to me at least.
Artist Lisa Jones is London-based, selling through the Soma gallery in Bristol. There are no details about international shipping, but I am sure they would answer enquiries on a personal basis.

Cut-out dolly duvet set
OK, so clearly not one for the children who tend to get a bit too busy with the scissors, but once they're over that stage (you know, the one where every time they disappear for a while there's the chance they'll come back with a whole new haircut), this cut-out dolly duvet cover is a total winner.
Dutch site 'Silt and Living' will, I discover through the wonder that is Google Translate, deliver internationally, and this set is € 67.50.

Stone Islands for family gardens
I've never seen anything quite like these 'stone islands' from UK company Organic Stone, but could immediately see the appeal for those with a large family garden.
The prefabricated shapes, made from recycled granite - I particularly like the leaf form - create an immediate durable and practical space in a garden, while also acting as a design feature. For those whose gardens turn to a muddy mush in the wetter seasons, they'd be invaluable.
At Babygadget, we often hear of mums setting up their own businesses, but they usually deal with clothing or small baby accessories. Creating landscape features of this size and weight must be quite an engineering feat, so it was interesting to learn that this family design team consist of a mum and two daughters, the latter of whom have three kids themselves.

Pinocchio rug
Not specifically for babies, but sure to appeal to them, what with the multitude of colours and the bobbly texture, is this Pinocchio rug.
Why Pinocchio? No idea, I'm afraid, but I do like it.

Readers' Nest by wis design
Wouldn't this Readers' Nest by wis design be perfect in your newborn's nursery? Or even in your toddler's room? I can easily picture my son's series of Beatrix Potter books resting just so on this lovely design of painted white metal.
For pricing and availability, contact the designer directly.

Wildlife duvet covers
I've been in this game so long that products are starting to remind me of other products. This gorgeous squirrel bedding set, for example: it'd match your Two-to-one t-shirt and also has the vibe of a Thornback and Peel onesie.
Also, it's beautiful in its own right. As well as the squirrel motif, you can get an equally realistic image of a bear, or a tree from Danish website Modern Mood. Each comes with a pillow where facts about the animal or plant are listed - in Danish. Well, you might not understand it, but it'll look very impressive.
