I love Hawaiian print fabrics. There’s something about the combination of colors, florals, and busy designs that make you feel sunny, happy, and ready to hit the beach.

Bella Bubs creates high quality baby necessities, and their Aloha Collection of 10 fabulous Hawaiian prints lets you order matching sets or mix and match. We got to test out a bib, burpie, travel blanket, and floral headband in the Lilac Crush fabric. When I initially pulled out the bib, I thought it looked really big. However, it’s since become our favorite bib to carry around with us because it provides great coverage. Backed with chenille and stuffed with an organic cotton insert, it’s soft, absorbent, and covers her shoulders and entire torso so that food dribbles don’t end up sneaking through the sides onto her clothing.

We’re past the stage of needing to burp Pooky, but the Bella Bubs burpies would’ve been real handy back then. It’s ergonomically designed to fit perfectly over your shoulder, which means it stays put. We joked that it also happens to look like an extra large feminine hygiene product; check out the product photo, and you’ll see what we mean. It’s also a generous size and folds up compact for the diaper bag.

The travel blankets from Bella Bubs are what I’d refer to as a luxury blankies. Backed with minky swirls and lined with organic cotton, these small blankets are so soft and fluffy. They make wonderful loveys and are a good size for tossing over baby in the car seat.

We weren’t super thrilled about the floral headbands from Bella Bubs. It’s made really well, but it’s just not our style. The flower is very large and, with the wide headband, it was just too overpowering for Pooky’s small frame. It may work better for older children.

The Hawaiian print selection from Bella Bubs really makes it worthwhile to purchase a few sets of bibs, blankies, and other accessories to pamper your baby. If you’ve been searching for baby shower gifts that’s useful and is sure to wow, we definitely recommend picking up some aloha vibes from Bella Bubs.

If you’re looking for a baby shower gift that may have been overlooked by others, I’d suggest a soft and silky lovey. “Lovey” is a term that I wasn’t familiar with until I arrived in the land of parenthood. Apparently, it refers to small items, mainly blankies, that serve as a source of comfort for your baby.

The Gigi Blanki Co. creates lovey “blankis” that are meant to do just that – a portable mini-blanket that keeps baby feeling nice and secure. These are definitely meant as comfort items and are too small to be useful as a blanket (14″ x 16″). One side is a silky satin fabric and the other is a super-soft nubby fabric, appealing to babies’ attraction to different textures. They come in a variety of different colors and patterns, and you get to choose which ones you want for each side. Price: $25 at The Gigi Blanki Co.
