t Just the Facts, Baby we've compiled some of our favorite products from companies created by parents because, let's face it, they're the pros when it comes to what moms and babies want most. Here are some great gift ideas, whether you're shopping for new moms, moms-to-be, or the toddler who has everything.
1. For Moms-to-be: Trendy maternity wear 
From tunic tops to tank dresses, Hatch Maternity clothing is stylish, versatile and perfectly designed to flatter the pregnant form. Made of soft, stretchy knit jersey, the line takes moms-to-be comfortably from office to evening. The fabric washes well and keeps it's shape–so it will even see you through a pregnancy or two. We loved the "classic wrap dress" from Hatch so much that we even wore it post-baby. Available at retailers across North America, or online at hatchmaternity.com
2. For Moms and Dads: Elegant, eco-friendly fingerprint jewellery 
There's really no cooler keepsake than a silver bracelet or a pair of cufflinks with your baby's fingerprint for a charm. You just send away for a Dimples kit, press your child's finger into the mould, and send the imprint back in the postage-paid envelope provided–about three weeks later, you'll receive your jewellery with the fingerprint charm attached. These elegant trinkets are also earth-friendly, since they're made from pure silver reclaimed from the silver nitrate found in film. Dimplesforever.com
3. For New Moms: Stylish, easy-to-wear slings
Since wearing your baby is all the rage, there’s no better way to keep your little one close and comfy than in a stylish ring sling from Ollie Golightly. Made from 100-percent linen and screen-printed by hand, these slings are easy to adjust and allow you to comfortably wear your wee one until she hits about 35 pounds (or two-and-a-half years). The elegant packaging and handy user’s guide make them the perfect gift. Other cool gift ideas from Ollie Golightly: organic onesies and T’s for babies and toddlers. olliegolightly.com
4. For Kids of All Ages: Earth-friendly dish sets 
We’ve searched high and low for kids’ dishes that are both fun and earth-friendly (i.e. not made out of plastic), but that also offer a little more in the style department than bright colors and cartoon characters. Enter the ANYWare stainless steel collection from Untangled Living. The stylish five-piece sets are durable, dishwasher safe, environmentally friendly and engraved with charming gecko or butterfly designs–perfect for a casual mac&cheese night or a formal dinner party with the playgroup. (We also found that a simple game of “find the gecko” led to one of the cleanest dinner plates we’d ever seen.) Untangledliving.com
5. For Toddlers who Love Tunes: Personalized CDs 
Really, what toddler doesn’t love tunes? And, if those tunes happen to contain his very own name (up to 80 times on one CD, in fact), well…it’s pretty much the best gift ever. A 14-song CD from Name Your Tune will seamlessly incorporate your child’s name into classic favorites, including “Old MacDonald” and “The Wheels on the Bus.” As parents, we love that the vocals are easy on our ears too. And no name is too obscure. (Even Shilo Pitt, Zahra Pitt and Apple Martin have one.) There are almost 4,000 names in the database and if your child’s name is not in their system, Name Your Tune can add it. Nameyourtune.com
