Heidi recently received this adorable baby headband from Liliputians, an new children’s online accessories shop, and it’s too cute not to share.
I love a good headband on Heidi. When the washing basket is overflowing and baby is down to tatty leggings and ugly tees, a headband is the lazy mums best friend as it injects sunshine, prettiness and cooworthiness into otherwise bland outfits. Given I have these days more often than most, headbands are my go-to accessory.
When Heidi gets older and her 1cm of hair transforms into a mass of curls, I suspect they’ll become even more essential. If we go by my own hair, which is lucky to see a hairbrush nowadays, I can’t see myself ever having the patience or skill to send her school with a french plait. With hairbands at the ready you can simply push unruly strands out of your child’s eyes and send them on their way - perfect.
Taking inspiration from Gullivar’s Travels, owner Lili Gusto points out that although accessories might be dinky, they can make & complete an outfit, rather like the characters of the Lilliputians. She’s created a range of hair statement accessories that are practical and easy to wear, with a host of innovative alternatives to dangerous, fiddly and uncomfortable metal clips. Many of these are handcrafted and intricate like Heidi’s, appealing to today’s wanna-be princesses.
Even better, the price points are really accessible with baby hairbands starting from just £2.99. At this price, they’d make a ideal addition to children’s party bags.
Heidi has been sent the Tea Party band which costs a tiny £3.99. Its over-sized floral arrangement is made from lightweight felt with soft padding and no bumpy seams to irritate baby. The band itself is perfectly stretchy and doesn’t dig into her head making it incredibly comfortable to wear. Heidi isn’t fussed by it at all and is happy to mess around with her big brother without tugging at it - a marked difference from other headbands we’ve popped her in.
Overall, I’m chuffed to bits with it and would recommend to any mummy wanting safe and pretty baby hairbands for parties, photo-shoots and everyday styling.
