Ask any mum what her top ten must-have newborn baby products are and she’ll joke about the need for an unlimited stash of muslins, bibs and baby grows. Babies throw up, fact. And when they’re not throwing up, they’re dribbling. No sooner have you dressed up your new baby into that perfect outfit, than it’s covered in foul-smelling milk. Although pretty dresses, tiny trainers and dinky jeans look irresistible, they’re woefully impractical. Rather the best baby shower present for an expectant mum is her body weight in bibs.
As I’m now expecting baby two, I’m always on the hunt for great deals on the essentials. Unfortunately, most shops sell bibs in packs of three which simply isn’t enough - three will probably last you a day if you’re lucky! But this is where Funky Giraffe come in. They’re have some of the cheapest bandana bibs you’ll find online, and some really fabulous designs to choose from. Better yet, the more you buy, the less they cost per unit - for example, 10 bibs will only set you back £20.50.
I always knew the prices were unbeatable. But I hadn’t had the opportunity to check them out in person until The Baby Show this weekend. They kindly gave us some to take home and road test, and I have to say I’m hooked. They’re supremely soft, very secure with two poppers, and rest gently under baby’s chin making them incredibly comfortable.
Dexter has spent all morning in his and the fit is perfect. He’ll usually rip them off in seconds and dip them in his dinner, but the Funky Giraffe bibs have two poppers making them much tougher for little people to meddle with. There’s also plenty of room on the loosest setting so I’ll know they’ll last him a good few years yet. Finally, the seams around the neck are very soft and he seemed to forget he was even wearing one!
We also got the chance to try one of their new baby tee’s. I love the bright vibrant colours and the material is great quality. Once again, the more you buy, the more you save, and you can snap these up for as low as £6.50 each. As Funky Giraffe are more than happy to mix and match designs, it’s a great way of refreshing your child’s autumn wardrobe for next to nothing.
The same deals are available for baby socks, moccasins, burp clothes, and other baby clothes, all of which are made from the same quality ethically sourced materials. The range is continually growing too so there’s no shortage of choice. It really is the place to go if you are a mum-to-be, a grandmum-to-be or you’re off to a baby shower - and they get a massive thumbs up from me.
If you’d like to say hello to Funky Giraffe, or even propose some new designs (they love our suggestions) then pop on over to Twitter or Facebook > You’ll be a welcome distraction as I bet they spend all day reassuring us all that their prices really are that good!
Disclaimer: Funky Giraffe Bibs kindly gave Dex the above items to try out (as well as a few others). I wasn’t asked to provide a post but was so impressed, I simply had to.
