In life, when we’re move to new places things often get left behind. Sometimes it’s furniture, other times it can be, as simple as, a few plants in the backyard. When we bought our new house, we found some great surprises awaiting us.

Here we are, in the dog days of summer when so many go on vacation from cottaging to visiting loved ones all over the map. Nervous to venture out with a newborn? There’s no need, travelling with baby is a parenthood rite of passage.
Travelling by plane, train our automobile these travel tips will help you for a better travel experience with your babe:
Summertime and the living is easy...unless you’ve been tasked with gifting a baby basket for the company and you are uncertain how to execute that to everyone’s appeasement. July through to September are the busiest birth months of the year. This means most PA’s and HR folks are kept busy trying to source a quality gift that is treasured by the receiver - often a colleague, though increasingly clients too - which makes your boss and colleagues look good.
There is truth to the expression California Cool. Is it the mild weather? The laid back vibe? Who can say, and truly does it matter when the end result is Rylee and Cru, a baby and children’s line that will have parents wishing to match their kids thread for thread (and now they can!).
We often discuss how to go about gifting, what designers to choose, how to select a basket, and what luxurious, meaningful, baby gifts are all about. Recently, we were asked to examine the other side: how to go about graciously accepting unwanted gifts.
We’ve collected the most common questions we’ve received from our company history to style preferences so you can get to know us a little better.
Twenty-something years ago I made the best decision of my life by moving to Canada. It wasn't easy. I was alone with 3 young kids but we managed with positive thoughts and lots of love. I consider myself fortunate to live in this country, especially Toronto, where opportunities abound and people from many parts of the world call themselves neighbours. I am thankful to live in a place where my kids grew surrounded by tolerance and acceptance.

April showers bring May flowers, and for us here at Bonjour Baby Basket a fun schedule that just won’t quit. It has been an eventful and exhilarating few weeks. We wanted to share the highlights of two amazing events: The Bump to Baby Show and The New Mom Project Mother's Day Event.
Now that I am a grandmother -twice over- I relate to motherhood differently. When your baby is born you think: I will never love another creature so intensely. If you are blessed with more children, you learn that the heart grows and expands for there is always room for more love. Then your children give you grandchildren and your heart stretches even more, and never in your wildest dreams did you imagine how much love, in all its iterations, was possible.
We’ve been sitting on spring 2018 style for a while now. We were just about ready to burst. With snow in mid-April it felt a little too much like dangling a carrot out of reach to showcase sun-fun trends. Finally, vitamin D will be plentiful and we are about to hit the double digits, bye-bye baby parka, hello beachy babes!
We are excited to profile our curated spring/summer baby wardrobe in a coming post,but thought first to call attention to the baby toys and teethers we can’t wait to get our hands on. Keep in mind, these can be used as basket stuffers for one of our BYOB (Build Your Own Basket) or even as stand alone gifts for the budget conscious. Yes, these accessories are that special.
Your little one is but a few weeks old and you feel like you know nothing. Yet you also feel like you know everything. With google at your fingertips and all those mommy groups there’s always someone to ask every kind of baby related question. And everyone has an opinion.
The nursery is for you as much as it is for baby. Create a space that you can move around in easily without having to choreograph movements around knick-knacks and such. After all, there will be plenty of soothing, nursing, and nodding-off in the room.
Ever wonder at infantilized noises and gestures like yum yum, num num, and vroom vroom meant to entice baby to eat? Ever wonder why all the drama, can’t mom just get that spoonful of mush into baby’s mouth? Yet here we are, winter’s newborns are about to become spring’s new eager eaters, and very soon you might find yourself spinning carrot cartwheels to transition your little one to solids. There is a lot of great material out there so let’s get you started with a few tips and shout-outs we think you’ll enjoy reading as much as we do.
Ever wonder what Kate Middleton’s civilian friends got her for the baby shower? What will Meghan Markle’s gal pals do when the time comes? That’ll be a double whammy - a celebrity and a royal! We all have one, that friend who is totally sorted. So what do you get the girl who has everything?
February...Sure it is the month of full-on winter blahs, but February babies are born into the month of love.
