Holiday Gift Guide - Elegant Baby with a Giveaway **Closed**

Elegant Baby® understands that babies deserve style just as fresh as they are! This marvelous collection of luxurious baby products is full of bold new colors and spectacular new designs. Even their traditional heirlooms have a newly minted gleam. Baby's first bank? There's a polka-dotted piggy - or a silver-plated helicopter. Baby's first cup? Here's a striped sippy - or a sterling silver mug. Baby's first outfit? Try a classic cable knit - or camouflage. Whether it's contemporary or classic, Elegant Baby® creates high-style, high-quality design.

Elegant Baby® was born in Burlington, North Carolina in 1984, the brainchild of Fred V.Hooper. Its parent company, Baby Needs, Inc., created by Hooper in 1967 as a full service distributor of baby/nursery items for mass merchants, sold products labeled as "Grow Time." When the baby market started to contract in the mid-80's, Hooper realized it was time to focus on the higher end of his industry, and launched Elegant Baby® . His new venture grew to become the premier source for stylish baby gifts and accessories, supplying childrens shops, gift boutiques and department stores throughout the United States.

Fast forward to 2002: Elegant Baby® is ripe for reinvention, and son Yates Hooper takes command. His years of experience in the international fashion industry had honed his ability to forecast trends, endorsed his willingness to take risks, and polished his unique aesthetic. Determined to re-energize his family's business and explore new markets, he directs his creative team to update the product mix, using lush new colors and graphics pulled from the worlds of fashion and interior design. He revamps the media campaign with a catalog full of gorgeous models using Elegant Baby® products in sumptuous surroundings. Finally, he debuts a dazzling website befitting a global brand, www.elegantbaby.com.

Hooper's vision of a fashion-forward, fun, sophisticated baby product company shines through every facet of Elegant Baby®'s transformation. In the midst of an uncertain economy, this family-owned American business is thriving once again, creating whimsical, stylish products for elegant babies around the world.

Elegant Baby was kind enough to send us a beautiful set of wooden blocks for Brandon. He is so into stacking and sorting things right now. He has a set of blocks that stack inside each other and is obsessed with stacking them in the right order. Now with these new blocks from Elegant Baby he likes to sort all his wooden blocks by color and size and then stack all of the same ones together. Soon he will be able to sort by letters and start spelling out words! I think that's coming sooner than later.

The blocks are a great size for little hands and are painted beautifully. They have letters painted in upper and lower case and even thought to do extra vowels. There are animals and things painted on the other side with coordinating words matching the item. They are made really well and will be a great toy to pass down to my grand kids one day! Other than the fact that wooden toys are much safer, less toxic, than plastic toys, my favorite part is how long they last and that they can be passed down to other kids again and again!

Elegant Baby has a great selection of Baptism and Christening items which are not super easy to find as well as toys, clothing, super cute piggy banks, baby keepsakes and more! They are a great place to check out for the Holidays and for Baby showers!

Elegant Baby has offered up a set of wooden blocks, with drawstring bag, for one lucky winner!
