Small birdie, medium birdie and large birdie cushions by the wonderful Ferm Living. These super cute cushions are nothing less than super desirable too. Buy one, buy all three, or buy two, whatever you do these cushions will be an enviable possession. They’d be perfect as decorative eye-candy but I love the small one as a cuddly cot friend. They’re made of organic cotton, measure 32×32 cms, 45×42 cms and 60x54cms and cost £18.90, £23.90 and £38.90 plus £4.95 for delivery.
Got a robot mad toddler? An American dad had 2 who slept with their pointy, plastic robots. He decided they needed soft robots that were cuddle-able but cool. Not finding any he made them, and Bunk Bots were born. There are 10 of them, 5 good and 5 bad. As the story goes, the good ones left work after lunch one day and never returned. Instead they decided to hang out in toddler bedrooms. The bad ones with red eyes want to take over the world but till they do, they too snuggle up with the kids. The bots are surface washable and have a spot on their tag for name writing. They cost £12.99 each and are the perfect cool soft toy for all the robot lovers out there.
While we’re talking cuddly robots, we couldn’t not tell you about Mr Robot cushions. They’re sure to be a hit with robot fans or give them as a gift to earn super cool status. Mr Robot comes in 2 sizes, measuring 40 and 50 cms and costs £22 and £29. They’re made by the Danish company Ferm Living, started by a lady after a visit to a clairvoyant!
I talk of mini labo. The little french laboratory with a giant imagination. The bad news is they’re not available here but for those of you heading to France this summer, they’ve got loads of shops around the country.
I know, I know, I still haven’t said what they sell. Cushions, soft toys, bedding, bags, pouches and more, all of which look like they’re made with love. I don’t think words can do justice here so i won’t even try and describe them but here’s lots of pictures for you to see.
Bored of plain white, pink or blue nursery bedding? We were so we went on a mission to find something more exciting and colourful and here’s what we found:
You may have noticed that we’re quite keen on elephants so naturally we were excited when we found these elephant fleece blankets. They come from Sweden (the blankets, not the elephants) and the range also includes kids bed sheets and cushions. The blankets are 100% cotton, measure 70x90cms and cost £18 at www.scandiliving.com.
Quick brown fox of Dulwich – a quirky name for a shop with quirky, fun, bright bedding. There’s nothing boring and plain here, thats for sure. They’ve got cot sheets, sheets for popular cots like boori and stokke and even sheets for the bugaboo chameleon. The sheets start from around £13 and you’ll find them at quickbrownfoxof dulwich.co.uk
I really struggled to find a cot bumper I liked for ebabee no. 1. I was about to give up when I happened to make a trip to Ikea. In the mayhem that Ikea is I somehow spotted these ‘Lusy’ crochet decorative flowers and grabbed them like a woman possessed. It was suddenly obvious… buy a plain white cot bumper which Ikea do for a tenner, sew these flowers on and voila! I have a cot b
umper thats unique, bright and best of all didn’t cost very much at all. Of course I sewed the flowers on the outside so ebabee no .1 couldn’t tear, chew, pull, bite them off! For the grand price tag of £2.99 you get 5 flowers and they even throw in the matching thread. Good ol’ Ikea!
Modern, graphic and fresh are the words that best describe the textiles that come out of Dwell Studio. American born but now widely available here in blighty their baby bed linen will add a dash of modern to any baby’s room. Pictured here are the ‘Owls’ and ‘Paper Dolls’ ranges which are now available at Mothercare. The flat cot sheets cost £19.99 and measure 120x155cms. There are also many other pieces including quilts, cot bumpers and more.
If you’re a minimalist at heart and fear losing your white world to a haze of bright 
colours when your ebabee arrives, fear not. Keep your cot white with white sheets but team with one of these blankets and cushions from ella & otto. They’re perfect for adding a splash of colour without taking over. The blankets cost £25 and the cushions are £9 for the small and £15 for the big, all at ellaandotto.com. (And before you ask, yes we love the elephant!).
