Baby Stylist loves...Ralph Lauren's gifting range for little men

We already know that uber-trendy celebaby Skylar Berman loves a bit of Ralph Lauren, and - as we always say - what's good enough for Skylar is good enough for us. www.ralphlauren.co.uk has a wonderful range of gift ideas for boys, so if you're stuck on what to buy that special little man in your life, it's worth checking out. As always, here are a few of my festive faves...

Pine tree mittens

Cute, wooly and fleece-lined - ideal for keeping those precious little pinkies warm over the next few months. Too nice to be rolling snowballs with though! Go to http://bit.ly/t62MXV for purchase info

Reindeer shawl cardigan

What's Christmas without a reindeer-themed cardi? Please note, while this works for toddlers, it's not in anyway cute on a grown man. Just in case you had any ideas. We adore this gorgeous piece of knitwear - perfect to layer over t-shirts and shirts to make any outfit festive. http://bit/ly/tjcdVq

Cotton velvet jacket

Love, love, love this jacket - with it's classic three button silhouette, it's enough to make any little man look dapper. It looks great over a festive sweater and can even make a pair of jeans look super smart. Total and utter gorgeousness. http://bit.ly/vc3V0g

You can check out the full range of boys gift ideas here http://www.ralphlauren.co.uk/family/index.jsp?categoryId=4494871 and I recommend you do as there are some other fab pieces that would be perfect pressies for the little gentleman. And if you order before December 20, you'll get your order in time for the big day.

Absolute must have for any stylish baby this winter has to be a teeny-weenie pair of Ugg boots. I've already marveled at their utter cuteness, when Ali Larter's bubba, Theo, was spotted in them earlier this year. But it seems like the footwear is essential if you are the child of a celebrity - just look at these pics...

And that's just a small selection. Uggs aren't just about style for baby though. You know how lovely and warm that sheepskin lining feels on your tootsies? Well, imagine how that must feel for your little one - like walking on clouds. And that nasty winter wind? They won't even feel it. Cheesiness aside - Uggs are the one type of footwear that I can safely match mine with LMs. Check out the new Daniel footwear website www.danielfootwear.com for a great range of Uggs for babies and toddlers. Prices from 35 GBP. Any stylish baby would love a pair of these for Christmas.

Lots of Love

Stocking news!

Happy December everybody. Sorry to just repeat what everyone else is saying, but seriously, how fast has this year gone? I suppose being a first time mum has made time go all that much faster. It's been an amazing year watching LM go from being a tiny, helpless little bundle to a walking ball of energy. It's hard to believe that someone who wasn't even here this time last year has already got such strong ideas about what he wants. He's started shaking his head this week, in defiance. 'Come to Mummy please,' I'll call. He shakes his head, smiles and wanders off to one of his toys. 'Do you want to read a story with Mummy?' Head shake. Too cute.

Anyway, I'm so excited about my first Christmas with my angel. The tree is being delivered this week. We have a gorgeous personalised baulble courtesy of my mum. There's a huge pile of presents building up in the bedroom. And one of my favourite, favourite Chrimbo trinkets is from our old friends at Monkey Sew, Monkey Do. The lovely Lisa is making traditional, personalised stockings.

How gorgeous is that? I love everything about it and it's sure to be a regular feature in our home every year from now on. Lisa's doing 'Mummy' and 'Daddy' stockings too. If you'd like one, and why wouldn't you, head here www.folksy.com/shops/MonkeySewMonkeyDo or check out the Facebook page here www.facebook.com/pages/Monkey-Sew-Monkey-Do I'm more excited about Christmas now than when I was a kid!
