GIFT GIVING 101: THE PERFECT GIFT

Bundle, the Soho boutique and on-line store where style savvy parents, gift givers, and A-list celebrities, head for the most fabulous children's clothes shares advice on the best gifts for babies and children.

New York, NY (prHWY.com) May 1, 2012 - Giving gifts is extremely fun when babies and children are involved. What's cuter than holding up tiny dresses and miniature cargo pants and imagining the lucky recipient toddling around in them? Children's apparel is an irresistible gift. Making the right choices for your little recipient takes some extra thought and consideration.

According to Allison O'Neill, parenting expert and owner of Bundle Boutique in Soho, for baby gifts, the first consideration is size. Purchasing something that the baby or child can spend more time growing into rather than out of is key. Baby shower gifts can start in 0-3 months but can also extend ahead to 6-12 months. While we all know that babies grow, their rate of growth can vary dramatically so erring on the long-range side is a thoughtful way to ensure that your gift has longevity. As a rule of thumb, always buy 3-6 months ahead of the child's age.

After the size has been determined, the next consideration is season. That adorable sundress may be too cute to pass up for the current season, but if you buy a size or two larger, it may not be appropriate for the season ahead. "Many people make this mistake," warns Allison "unless you know the exact size of the child, it's better to size up and buy pieces that are transitional like lightweight sweaters and pants."

Designer children's clothes such as Nellystella cardigans for girls are a great purchase because they are seasonless, washable, and versatile. Mayoral baby trousers also make very practical, stylish, seasonless gifts for boys.

If you know that the receiving parents are very particular with their own style, it's a safe bet that they like to monitor the style of their children. In this case, stray from clothing all together and accessorize! Bundle has gift baskets for new babies at every price point. Filled with stuffed animals, books, receiving blankets, and even a bottle of champagne for the parents! One of Allison's favorite accessories is Petunia the pig. This is a "can't go wrong gift" is cute, creative, and brings of lots of smiles to the child.

Keepsakes are another great option. Monogrammed blankets and pillows can follow the child into all of their bedrooms, not just the nursery. Custom birth announcement pillows will always hold a special place in mom's heart even after the child has "outgrown" having it in their room.

If you're down to the wire, let Bundle's on-line gifting concierge can make a few recommendations, wrap, charge and send the gift, all within few minutes time. Simple, chic, perfection.
