{2012 Holiday Gift Guide} Sweet Rhino & Baby-A-Peel {Review + Giveaway}

When searching for that perfect Mom-to-Be Christmas gift look no further than the two wonderful shops ran by the same artistic lady.

The first shop, The Sweet Rhino specializes in adorable handcrafted memory books for mom and baby.

I was sent the following two Elephant books. One in pink and one in blue as well as the additional pages!

J’aime started making these memory books, simply because she wanted a safe and creative place to store her monthly baby pictures of her children. Each book comes with a place to store the monthly pictures and even has these safe, easy mounts for placing in the book.

This book measures approximately 9”X8” and the pages measure 7.75”X7.5”. Upon ordering your book you will choose which style pages you want, and if you want to pay the optional $5 for a personalized picture window.

What I love the most about this book is the fact that it offer 52 journaling pages, plus the chance to purchase additional pages. Below is a look at all the pages included in the initial price.

I also received the additional pages above, pregnancy, guests and gifts, baby baptism, calendar, photo pages, and first holidays.

I love how all the pages are evenly decorated and very sturdy.

They are bright and colorful and make an awesome place to store all your little one’s information.

The mouth page gives you the space needed to mark which teeth came in first.

Once I included all my pages into the book this is how thick it was. I had no problem with it going over the 3 ring binder part and I love how it all fits together.

It came in this nice little package that is easily converted over to being a storage box. I like to know that my books are inside this box and in a safe place.

I have no doubt that any new mommy to be would love this adorable books and look forward to keeping track of her itty bitty as they grow.

The next shop that J’aime runs is called Baby-A-Peel. Baby-A-Peel specializes in baby onesie milestone stickers.

We were sent the pregnancy stickers as well as Under the Sea baby stickers.

Once I received the stickers I could not get over how gorgeous they were. While emailing J’aime, she told me that she hand drew and colored them. I was in complete and utter shock. They are so deep in color and well defined.

I have seen many stickers around the web that are printed and computer edited and they just don’t seem to have a real enough effect as the ones at Baby-A-Peel. I was a bit worried at first thinking that once you stuck them on the shirt that they would not be able to re-stick again, but J’aime assured me that they would.

The sea stickers start at “Born Today” and go all the way up to 1 year, whereas the maternity starts at 4 weeks and then all the way to 40 weeks. I love how the maternity stickers show the size of the baby with food. For example at 7 weeks baby is roughly the size of a blueberry and on the sticker is shows a blueberry. These are perfect to use each month and then go back and see how much your body changed.

Above are two beautiful shots of J’aime’s baby bump and her stickers. They just simply stick onto any shirt that you have and then once done just simply pull off.
