Such a fun and unique Christmas bear. This makes a great gift for children of any age!

Gotta Getta Gund, Baby!

Who can resist Pink-a-Boo Pony's sweet face?

We would like to announce our newest addition to our collection of baby keepsakes – Baby Gund. Gund, the quintessential purveyor of fine plush toys is now available on Babysakes.com.

But it isn’t just plush toys, Baby Gund now offers  wonderful collections with many adorable baby keepsakes and useful items to choose from.

The Happy Moments Collection from Baby Gund includes themed keepsakes for boys and girls. The boy’s collection has everything a boy could want – trains, planes and automobiles in fun primary colors. The girl’s collection includes flowers, gingham and embroidery in lovely pastels. The Happy Moments collection features frames, photo albums, pillows, hooded towels, banks and growth charts.

The delicate Li’l Boutique Collection also features a boy and a girl collection. Lovely stripes, flowers and rocking horse accents in pink and aqua adorn these lovely keepsake boxes, frames, blankets, photo albums and layettes.

Some of the fun Baby Gund collections are centered around a Baby Gund character. You can meet “Spunky” the dog who comes in pink for girls, blue for boys and a gender-neutral tan.  “Winky” the lamb comes in either white or pink. Both collections include plush toys, blankets, outfits and nursery decor.

There is also a collection of corduroy and patchwork snugglers that your child will love. Baby Gund’s “Snoodle” is an adorable blue puppy, “Pink-a-Boo” is a cute pink horse, and “Hopscotch” is a fun yellow giraffe. Each collection includes plush toys in a variety of sizes, blankets, and toys. They are cute and durable enough to be your child’s favorite friend for years to come.

Wonderful gifts for baby and moms, dads, grandmas and grandpas come from the Hugs and Kisses Collection. Frames, plush toys and photo albums show the world who baby’s favorite is. Is it Grandpa? Then the adorable plush giraffe says so right on his tummy. If it is Mommy, then a wonderful purple frame will showcase a touching photo of mom and baby and the words “I love my Mommy.” If it is Daddy or Grandma, there are photo albums for treasured photos. Each collection is centered around a special Baby Gund plush animal.

Spunky Huggybuddy - sure to be your baby's new best friend.

Can’t think of a fun shower gift? Why not check out Yummie Tummies or Bitsy Baby Bibs? These wonderful, high-quality bibs have clever saying and fun characters and are sure to be cherished as keepsakes.

There are also great gifts for the new big sister or big brother. The My Family collection includes plush, baby-safe  photo albums that can be shared. Also included are mom and dad and grandpa and grandma albums.

Of course, it wouldn’t be Baby Gund if there weren’t a whole bunch of things to snuggle. The Tender Beginnings collection has an adorable giraffe with pink or blue accents, in a variety of snugglers and plush toys. The Secure Snugs collection has a variety of blankets with plush characters included. Probably the most versatile snuggler of all are the Snugapuffs. Part pillow, part plush friend, these character pillows are soft and perfect for nap time.

But don’t take our word for it. Check out these new baby keepsakes from Baby Gund and other items yourself at Babysakes.com.
