In these uncertain times we send you love ❤️ and we’d like to have a moment of your time to address the safety measures we’ve been taking in light of the current situation: ⠀

We love finding talented entrepreneurs and adore forming working relationships that provide you with their exclusive goods. Often, they too are parents following a dream, a vision, and solving for something they found wanting. 1+ In The Family is exactly the type of inspiring story we salut.
Can you feel it? The sun is out and the weather is getting warmer. That means Spring is around the corner, and we’re excited to announce that we have some fantastic designer baby gifts to share with you.
These boots, baby, were not meant for walking. It is a mild source of contention in baby world - to boot or not to boot your bébé? We think both! Let us be clear, when indoors playing, one hundred percent keep baby’s feet free. Once autumn hits, the air is cooler and it is fair to expect rainy walks ahead or during summer park visits bring those booties or sandals for the win. Little booties or soft sandals keep those chubby toes toasty and dry.
In the cooler months, telling a new mom to go out for some time out sans-bébe´ is like asking her to perform another somersault without providing a comfort mat underneath. Now, for those of you who want to gift an extra special corporate baby gift basket we suggest the following: be the fairy babysitter. Make your basket themed - choose one of our high-end options with sleeper set and a luxurious plush blanket - and here’s the clincher - include a card with a paid for session with your own babysitter.
The food, the cards, the calls, the logistics of family gatherings...and the week leading up to the holidays can feel like a whole lot of jing-a-ling-a-linging in your brain. Doubly so with a new baby in the picture. Before the holiday recovery spa session is booked, make your life a little less hectic. Give yourself the gift of time and shop online.
The ding-a-ling-ling of holiday tunes follows you from subway to elevator to office to store. Could the season nearly be upon us? And you’ve only just taken down the Halloween decorations. Worry not, we’ve got you covered. Our recommendation: shop for the baby, not for the holiday but do keep it seasonally appropriate. From luxury baskets from the office gang, to a token for your neighbour’s daughter, to the perfect accessory for your grandchild. Here’s our fuzzy, snuggly, and sweet 2019 Gift Guide at all price points.
Boo baby, I see you!
Watch out ghouls, ghosts and witches. We are armed with something better than garlic, potions, smudging, or seance. Sweeter than candy, we’ve got seasonally appropriate baby outfits and luxury gift baskets to hit the spooky spot.
They are here! Styled, assembled, and ready to go. The Fall/Winter gift baskets are up on the site and my oh my is there choice. Usually once the chill hits the air we talk trends but this autumn feels different.
Helicopter grand-parenting, it’s a real thing. I’ve caught myself doing it: hovering, suggesting, well, let's be, honest-nagging. It comes, obviously from a place of love and concern but it also comes from habit. As parents we spend a lifetime worrying for the well being of our children. It does not stop even when they have their own children. A grandparent’s role is two-fold and calls on us to gather our knowledge, whilst setting boundaries for ourselves.
Change is in the air. Do you feel it in the cooler evening breeze? In the new morning light? As we bid adios to summer 2019, the truth of the matter is that we are beyond excited for the new fall releases.
My daughters laughter carrying over from seats 7A and 7B was the perfect beginning to our three day Montreal gateway. Seeing them spend quality time warmed my heart, especially given their busy lives adulting as parents and career gals. The smile on this mama’s face started on that take-off flight and didn’t let-up until the return landing. This was bound to be one epic ‘business’ trip.
Summer in the city and once that humidity hits the pavement 'We The North' can’t wait to hit the cottage. The lake, the air, the chilled out vibe and ... the baby! Worry not, first time moms, preparation will guarantee country bliss. In other words, we’ve got you covered:
Enter Babylist, an amazing (we really can’t praise it enough) and revolutionary type of registry. Say you desire a bassinet from one place, meal delivery service for the first month from another, an Oeuf - Welcome Home Baby Set from us, and a diaper station from another, well, in the old world this is a conundrum. You would have to forgo the registry and have someone direct the inquiring well-wishers. In this brave new world, Babylist, is your free one-stop master list of which, we are now a part.
Summer Solstice - the longest day of the year - arrived June 21 and marked the true beginning of summer and a farewell to spring. It also has some new moms concerned about changing sleep patterns and sun exposure but as The Beatles famously sang:
“Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it’s alright, little darling...”.
