Chic & Unique: Personalized Bibs, Burpies, Blankets from Maggie & Alison

When baby has a special occasion, you know there will be photos. When mealtime arrives, do you risk baby splattering food all over a fancy outfit, strip baby down, or do you cover the cute clothing with an ordinary bib?

None of the above--the solution is to use a chic bib from Maggie & Alison!

Each bib is made from your choice of a variety of fashionable 100% cotton fabrics, backed with 100% cotton chenille, and personalized with embroidery.

The chenille is so soft that I couldn't resist touching it throughout the meal and the embroidery is really beautiful. I am a sucker for animal patterns in outrageous colors, so I adore this green leopard print with pink embroidery. The bibs wash really well, just keep a stain remover handy because you want to save memories of baby's first meal, not remnants of the actual sweet potato.

Although $12 seems a bit steep for an everyday bib, it would be hard to find a quality, handmade and personalized baby gift for less. I wouldn't throw one on for a casual lunch at home, but I could see buying these for a unique shower gift or a special occasion, such as a first birthday party.

Maggie & Alison also make matching burp cloths and have just come out with sweet, chic stroller blankets ($32 for fleece backing, and $42 for chenille). I'm digging these blankets a lot and would not be surprised to see them turning up draped across the hottest strollers, soon.

For a limited time, be the first to order any of Maggie & Alison's hip fabrics for a stroller blanket and you can get $4 off! Plus, get Free Shipping on all orders over $25 until 9/5/2007. Use coupon code: valuedcustomerinaugust.
