Welcoming the Holiday Baby
Little Peanuts
Little Peanuts Baby Boutique was started by a mom who wanted better blankets for her baby at more affordable prices than other boutique style swaddling blankets.  Using classic designs such as ginghams and stripes, she built a collection and started sharing these blankets with her friends. Soon she realized that there was a real need for beautiful, yet completely useful baby gift buckets and began selling these gift sets to her friends, local hospital gift shops, and baby boutiques. Artfully packaged in a tin, the buckets are perfect, affordable gifts to welcome a new baby or to gift to them for the Holidays. Visit www.littlepeanutsbabyboutique.com for all styles, including her holiday collection and an opportunity to build your own tin. And, just for babynewsbits subscribers, 25% off!
