Even if you were on Mars in recent weeks, I am sure news would have reached you that Great Britain has a new member of the Royal family.
To celebrate the arrival of Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, I thought it would be fun to pull together some things that would be perfect gifts for the new baby and her mum HRH The Duchess of Cambridge (but hopefully she won’t mind if we call her Kate).
The little Princess has already received hundreds of gifts including the donation of $10,000 in her honour to a sanctuary for the Australian Mountain Pygmy-possum….well hopefully these will be a little more useful in the immediate weeks…
The White Company’s London Blanket and Hat Set as well as their London Footed Sleep Suit is super cute and is adorned with London busses and marching soldiers. It suggests it’s for boys, but I think Princess Charlotte will love it’s soft cotton and detailed embroidery all the same.
Or perhaps this twin pack collared body set from Boden, now reduced to under £22, will be just the ticket.
To help the little one sleep, this Princess Posie Swaddle Pack from a favourite of Kate’s Eden and Anais (Prince George was a fan of their swaddle blankets) will help her feel safe and warm.
Her first toy could be this gorgeous British favourite Paddington Bear from Harrods.
And what to wear for her Sunday best? A classic British brand Burberry dress of course!
To keep her feet warm in the chilly spring weather we are having in the UK, these soft leather baby shoes would be ideal.
And to ensure nobody forgets her very important status, this cute knitted crown would be sure to remind them. Or perhaps a step too far, but seriously cute all the same!
And what about something for second time mum Kate?
These Rosie for Autograph Rose Print Pyjamas are classy, comfy and have a drawstring waist new mums can tighten up as their bellies shrink. The button down top might also be handy for breast feeding mums, and long trouser legs to keep legs warm whilst up in the night.
This Fortnum and Mason Kir Royale gift box (Royale - see what I did there!) is probably just what Kate wants after 40 weeks of not drinking!
And this Cowshed Udderly Gorgeous Gift Set contains natural and gentle ingredients specially designed for new mums.
And not forgetting little Prince George?
How about these Hunter wellies so he can jump around in the puddles around their Sandringham estate?
The English toymaker Le Toy Van’s My First Castle would be ideal for him to play with. Although, for him, it technically won’t be hist first castle….
Or what about this pop-up book The Little Prince that his parent’s can read to him at bed time?
What gifts would you buy a little Princess? And what do you buy for friends who have just had littles ones?
