Tickikids Blog Singapore > Digest > Singapore's Top Shops to Buy Baby Essentials & Accessories
We love buying baby essentials and accessories, but today the baby items' horizon has expanded and diversified. Many of us have learnt from experience not to choose the first piece that makes us go “awe” when going shopping, but to think about what you really need and about its potential to be passed on to future siblings. Consulting parents and rounding up the best children's shops, we considered many components from quality of materials, design, uniqueness, sustainability, range of organic items to affordable prices.
Little Bearnie
Singaporean boutique manufacturer Little Bearnie creates beautifully designed, hand crafted products for babies and toddlers ranging from baby teethers, swaddles and bibs to a lovely selection of educational toys and silicone bead necklaces. Awarded the Best Stylish Teething Accessories, the brand takes pride in focusing on safety standards using 100% food-grade silicone and toxic-free materials. We love the brand's Gem Biscuit teethers and accessories the most for its textured surface, great quality and fun collection at a very affordable price point. Each item is utterly adorable and attractive to children, but made to last. Designed by Little Bearnie exclusively for its shop, Gem Biscuit combines playfulness and function with a hint of nostalgia for Singapore's local culture, but without sacrificing style.
My Babblings
The family-run business My Babblings™ brings you a lovingly curated collection of children's quality essentials like wetbags, droolpads, socks, blankets, stroller-accessories and more that parents need to survive and thrive. Tested on a daily basis for hardwearing durability, comfort, quality of the items, its materials, fabrics and craftsmanship play a vital role in their selection process. My Babblings™ essentials and accessories are a true antidote to fast fashion, yet extremely cute, playful and attractive to little kids.
We urge parents to discover the GRAPPLE®, a silicon apple toy tether, that comes with strong suction at the base and three silicon strings to attach toys, teething biscuits, water bottles etc. to end your baby's throwing and dropping dramas from high chairs.
We will also be recommending Bamboo Cotton Washcloths available in bundle packs of six where function and comfort go hand in hand. It will be a perfect addition to your baby's nursery room, kitchen, bathroom, when feeding, burping, wiping drool or baby's hands and as a washcloth for bathing! This super soft and gentle bamboo terry cloth is designed in two sizes – 23x23cm for babies and 28x28cm for toddlers.
Lil’ Milk Monsters
Lil' Milk Monsters, launched by two mum entrepreneurs in 2016, is a women's shop with a strong ethos in breastfeeding from the birth of a child. The final result through their own experience is a collection of affordable, high quality, all-round breastfeeding covers. Premium or regular, LMM’s breastfeeding covers are lightweight and breathable, and it's the perfect accessory for every day nursing. Understanding that breastfeeding in public may be challenging, especially when your inquisitive milk-monsters pull, kick and look around, such a baby feeding essential makes a wonderful investment this year.
You will also find a range of headbands, construction sets, bundles with granola and lactation cookies on their website. We just love everything this inclusive shop is about.
SimplySili
