Wise Surprise

Each time I do a post about baby items (which has only been 3 out 143 posts, by the way) I get a lot of speculative comments. So let me preemptively state that I don’t have any of that kind of news. What news I do have is about Wise Surprise, a fab new gift service for mother and child. With presents that fall closer to the aesthetic of B. Braithwaite than Babies-R-Us, you can send a sophisticated gift to all of your new mom friends (as well as house warming presents and green gifts for moms and non-moms alike). When your friends are scattered around the country like mine are, a shop like this comes in handy.

And speaking of cool babies, how about this chic nursery from Orange Beautiful, created for her very own. I would not mind having the grown up version of this room for myself.

B.Braithwaite


Children's shops usually make me gag, but how chic is this one? Modeled after storefronts in Paris, designer Nancy Braithwaite and daughter Chaffee have created B. Braithwaite, a sophisticated "infant boutique" for furniture, toys and clothes. Everything about this store is well done--from the cleverly carved boxwoods in front, to the innovative gift wrapping in stenciled canvas bags. Maybe one day they will open a store for grown-ups...
