Five mentions in the iVillage Holiday Gift Guide is an awesome nod to Polka Dot Peacock. Today we celebrate an amazing piece of art from Petit Collage. The Balloons Collage on Wood is listed in the “Holiday Gifts for Babies and Toddlers” and iVillage writes the following:

“We Heart Art. If we could do high-end arts and crafts, it would look exactly like this. Since we, um, can’t, we’re grateful we can buy this gorgeous collage-on-maple that’s made up of found, vintage and painted papers. (Since it’s made by hand there will be minor differences in patterns and papers. How chic.)”

Thanks iVillage! Shop the Balloons Collage on Wood at Polka Dot Peacock!

I ADORE this poster, and have given it several times as a gift! It is a wonderful addition to any child’s room!!! It is great for children of all ages and all genders, which is exactly why I absolutely LOVE giving this as a gift! With the great price, it is also perfect for the budget-conscious gift giver   A perfect gift for a great price…doesn’t get much better than this!

We bought the large DwellStudio Transportation Storage Bin for Christmas with high hopes of creating some sanity in the chaos we call his room.  Blake LOVES the design with all kinds of vehicles on the bin. He loves putting his books on CD in there — and loves knowing where they are. Blake and his little brother Drew have a great time playing Jack in the Box in the bin as well — it’s that big!  We can’t recommend the bin enough to any family who needs some creative storage space for their kids’ mess.  And, be sure to buy it at Polka Dot Peacock where we buy ALL of our baby gifts these days.  The selection, prices, and fast delivery cannot be beat anywhere on the web!

Welcome to Baby Shower 101, a new series from Polka Dot Peacock — focused on gift-giving from the eyes of real parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and gift-givers near and far! Whether your budget is $25 or $200, we have gift-givers ready with ideas!

So, I kick this off with the gift I gave at the most recent baby shower I attended. One of my baby girl favorites — though there are so many to choose from!

DwellStudio Sparrow Sleepsack ($48): I love this because it is practical… Keeps baby warm and is super-soft at the same time. I like that it is 100% cotton percale, which seems practical in the summertime {vs. the fleece styles traditionally offered at baby superstores}. Since my friend isn’t due until mid-March and we live deep in the heart of Texas, I thought this would be a great option for her baby girl!

Gift Grand Total: $48
Baby H. is cozy and super adorable.

And,there it is. One amazing piece to create an amazing gift.

Peacock Pick: Branch Buddies Growth Chart

San Diego based Oopsy daisy began out of a desire to provide art for children that would engage and inspire. Oopsy daisy’s collection has grown to over 1000 works of art, and more than 70 artists. Oopsy daisy’s kid’s growth charts are created on the same artists canvas as their stretched wall art. Grommets placed in the four corners make them easy to hang, and color coordinated decorative covers fit easily over the screw or nail you choose. This product creates a great childhood keepsake, and rolls up easily for safe storage. A permanent marker is a great way to mark dates or ages on the chart.
