It's that time of the year when your toes begin to feel the chill in the air.  Babies' toes are feeling the cold too and keeping socks on a baby is no easy feat, pardon the pun.  Socks are a great source of entertainment for most babies and usually spend more time off the feet than on.  They also tend to be poor-fitting, have a mind of their own and slip off without notice. That's why New Zealand company Lamington has created a clever range of knee-high baby socks that are designed to stay on and stay up.  

We're very excited to announce the arrival of Lamington baby socks into our store.  Made in New Zealand from the finest merino wool, these socks are super-soft and snuggly warm on baby's feet. They are also really cute.  The neutral designs include stripes, spots and flowers and each design co-ordinates beautifully with our other gifts including our range of clothing and toys.

Quality socks are a great addition to any Gift Hamper.  They are both practical and stylish.  If you're looking for an easy-to-post gift to send overseas socks are a great idea.  

Take a look at our must-have range of Lamington socks.  As they say in New Zealand, they're "sweet as".

In only a few short hours, at 8pm this evening, we launch Sapling's entire first collection for 2016, the Flight Collection, and we couldn't be more excited.  According to the Sapling team, this collection is "inspired by the countless things that fly through the imaginations of little ones the world over."  

We are huge fans of Sapling and we love the way their delightful designs coordinate beautifully with our other high quality brands to create our gorgeous Gift Boxes.  The Flight collection is no exception with its soft palette of colours, bluebirds in strawberry fields and floating paper planes gently looping in flight.

If you're already a Sapling lover, you'll know Sapling has a reputation for exclusively designing the highest quality range of baby clothing, all ethically-made from only the purest organic cotton and printed with organic water-based dyes.

With the Flight collection, Sapling introduces exclusive design innovations to ensure the ultimate in quality baby wear.  These innovations include flat, closed seams to ensure there's no irritation to baby's sensitive skin and extra length in the cuffs to allow for folding and unfolding as baby grows.  Other features include back leg pleats to provide more nappy room and breathability and no itch chemical-free iron on labels.  Also, all bindings and hems are double stitched to ensure maximum durability from one sibling to the next.

A big congratulations goes out to the Sapling team who have obviously worked so hard to deliver a collection that exceeds all expectations of quality and design.  Now, we look forward to delivering these gorgeous pieces to babies all over Australia and showcasing these designs in our unique Gift Boxes as we love to do. 

Introducing our new look Room to Bloom Linen Gift Boxes.  

As of this week, we have moved away from our traditional linen gift box with the lid to our new look open-style Linen Gift Box.  We love the way the new box displays all the goodies on the inside.  This means the gift recipient will no longer need to strip away all the lovely ribbons and bows to appreciate the goodies hiding inside.  It also means if you are ordering an arrangement and are giving it in person, you have the chance to appreciate the lovely display of products inside for yourself.

Dressed in linen, these boxes continue to complement our range of ethically made, eco-friendly products.  Each box is embellished with layers of quality matching ribbon from our huge ever-growing ribbon collection.

Once your order is received, we select the optimal box from the three available sizes to ensure your unique selection of gifts look great and are contained safely and soundly.  We make sure your gifts are strategically arranged and securely wrapped with crystal clear cellophane (and no unsightly sticky tape) so there is no movement during delivery.  Best of all, these gorgeous arrangements are able to be delivered anywhere in Australia at our $10 flat rate.

At only $9.95, the addition of a Room to Bloom Linen Gift Box will certainly give your gifts the wow factor and make a big impression on any new mum.  These boxes are almost too beautiful to open.  

In our search for fresh new Australian-designs, we came across Weegoamigo, the latest in our line-up of gorgeous brands.  Weegoamigo designs nursery linen that is right on trend with just the right combination of geometric patterns, whimsical imagery and colour blocks - all underscored by a pastel colour pallette and splashes of vibrant colour in all the right places.

Never though will we sacrifice function for style and that's why we absolutely love every item in this new range.  We've had babies ourselves and know first hand that fashion is useless without function.  This range of muslins, blankets and towels meets all our high standards.  The muslins are the perfect size for swaddling at 120 x 120cm (anything less just doesn't work) and the blankets and towels are 100% cotton for easy washability.  It comes as no surprise to learn that the makers of Weegoamigo have been producing quality nursery linen products for over forty years and all products are tested to meet world standards.

If you're creating your own Room to Bloom Gift Box, a piece from the Weegoamigo range will certainly add some flair.  Call or email us if you would like assistance to design your unique gift.   

These very cute Maud n Lil Bunny Comforters have just hopped onto our shelves.  

Just like all our other beautiful Maud n Lil soft toys, these sweet toys are manufactured from 100% Certified Organic Cotton, so you can rest assured that baby is not being exposed to any nasty chemicals or pesticides.  

Babies love to hold these gorgeous little guys with their soft floppy bodies.  As well as being a soft toy to cuddle, they are also a security comforter, complete with a dummy clip on the paw to keep baby's dummy locatable.  

At $39.95, these toys are a great addition to a Room to Bloom Gift Box or Hamper.  As they arrive in their own Gift Box with Gift Card, they are also a beautiful gift to give on their own.  With Easter just a smidge over five weeks away, consider giving a Maud n Lil Bunny Comforter to a little one celebrating his or her first Easter.  Your gift will be totally unique and treasured every day.

It's been a while since we blogged but behind the scenes we've been very busy.  You may have already noticed we've been restocking our online shelves with all your favourite gifts.  We've also been sourcing some innovative and beautiful products from new and existing suppliers and we can't wait to share them with you very soon.  If there's something you'd like to see in our store, please share your ideas with us.  We'd love to hear from you.  Also, as we're making room for new gifts be sure to check out our SALE page for some great bargains including 20% off our complete range of Sapling Organic El Perro and El Gato designs.

We're so excited to tell to you about our latest bath and body range - La Clinica Organic for Baby.  It really ticks every box for us.  Firstly, it's 100% Natural, made with Certified Organic ingredients.  In fact, La Clinica is the only company in Australia that makes its skincare products with Silica Spring Water, sourced from its own Certified Organic Farm, located in the spa region of Daylesford, Victoria.  All La Clinica products are free from synthetic ingredients, artificial fragrances and nasty sulphates.  The range is gentle on newborn skin, pH balanced and suitable for eczema.  It is also Vegan friendly and Gluten Free, making it suitable for the entire family.

We particularly love the Nappy Wipe Lotion.  Now there is finally an alternative to harsh, irritating baby wipes.  The Soothing Lotion is a real winner too.       

All products in the range are must-haves for new mums, including the Stretch Mark Belly Rub, made specifically for Mum.  The range is very reasonably priced and the packaging is simple and stylish, making it a great addition to a Room to Bloom Gift Box or Hamper.  There is also a La Clinica Gift Set available, which is a great opportunity to sample the range.  It contains four retail size products, beautifully contained within a classic La Clinica toiletry bag, and it's great value for money.  

La Clinica is a 100% Australian owned and operated company and its products are manufactured in its own Certified Organic facility in Melbourne, using local and imported ingredients.  The Organic for Baby range has been developed, formulated, tested and refined since 1995, without animal testing, so you know you can trust it on baby's precious skin.

We couldn't ask for anything more.

Since we launched our store, we've had the privilege of offering family and friends the option of having their gifts arranged as Gift Hampers.  We're now delighted to extend this Gift Hamper packaging option to other customers requiring local delivery.  These arrangements are quite delicate and we deliver them ourselves.  As such, we can only offer this option to customers requiring delivery in our local area.  

Our Gift Hampers have a sophisticated finish and continue to offer the same quality as our Gift Boxes.  Of course, they're reusable too!  All boxes are finished with clear cello wrap to protect and show-off your beautiful gifts.  

Just like our Gift Box arrangements, these hampers offer loads of "wow" factor. They're perfect for gifts of any size (an appropriate sized box will always be selected), and they present beautifully at baby showers, staff send-offs, etc.

If you're interested in this type of arrangement and require local delivery, please call us on 0403 062 087 or email us at info@roomtobloom.com.au to discuss the options.  We also welcome corporate inquiries.

We've just made it even easier to create your own gift hamper.  If you love our Aden + Anais swaddles and bibs, now you have the option of including single swaddles or bibs in your order.  You can also select the Aden + Anais signature design of your choice.  Get as creative as you like.  Alternatively, brief us on your requirements and we can create your ultimate gift baby hamper - personalised just for you. 

The swaddles and bibs are also available for purchase individually.  But don't forget, we offer free gift wrapping.  A swaddle and a beautifully scented natural baby soap, gorgeously gift-wrapped for that friend you haven't touched base with for a while.  What a lovely surprise!  Such a simple way to reconnect and say "Congrats".  We can deliver any gift right to into her hands.

Aden + Anais swaddles and bibs now available as singles and in multipacks - the choice is yours.

We've recently added to our suite of fine brands with the introduction of Australian-designed Alimrose.  Within the Alimrose range, you'll find a lovely selection of toys and matching bibs.  There are sets suitable for boys and girls.  There are also several neutral designs and colours from which to choose.
