Itโ€™s the quintessential new baby gift: A blanket, a bib, a must-have bit of gear, a fifth of Jack for the mom. (We kid! We kid!)

Kristen: Baby quilts meet 2008 in the most beautiful modern way with the myQuilt from MilkLush (at top).

Liz: Iโ€™m a huge fan of handmade quilts that donโ€™t look straight out of the Colonial era. Props this year go to the gorgeous modern quilts from Bedscape Designs and the exquisite poppy quilt from All the Numbers.

Kristen: The smart, cool baby gear from Wisey definitely make life with kids easier. Too bad I didnโ€™t find them until now.

Liz: Suddenly I realized why I hated tummy time: I had to spend it looking at some garish neon Noahโ€™s Ark print play mat and not the gorgeous Kensington Play Mat.

Kristen: Mairzey Dotes handmade bibs are super cute, but not so cute that you donโ€™t want them drooled and puked and slobbered all over.

Liz: The kimono-style bathtub wraps, matching bath towels and mitts from Petite Miette are bold, bright, luxurious, and scrumptious. No pinks or baby blues is just a bonus.

Kristen: Iโ€™m totally infatuated with the Booyah Stroller Pads. Theyโ€™ll make any stroller look and feel fantastic.

Staff: An extra hand is a godsend for mothers; the Medela Freestyle hands free breast pump actually gives you two. And yes! It works! Best new invention of the year for new moms, hands down. (Heh.)
