Bibs & burp cloths
Ottie & me
Ottie & me make hard-wearing wipeable baby feeding bibs. We make them locally in New Zealand. They catch the mess in their generous pockets. Wipe them clean & save time (& water) by avoiding the washing machine. How many bibs do you machine wash each week?
More about the Maker:
I am Mieke and my Wellington business, Ottie & me make easy-care wipeable feeding bibs. When I couldn’t find the kind of bib I wanted for my daughter, I designed and made my own….and that was the accidental beginning of my business. The bibs are unique because they are SUPER easy to clean and dry very quickly so they’re ready to use again straight away, which means you only need one bib!!
They are a high-quality product, and with a classic (and well tested!) design, they look great, they work and they last.
They are invaluable to any parent/grandparent of wee ones and make a great baby shower, new baby, or birthday gift.

Solvej Swings
Solvej (sool-vay) Swings provides stylish swings of timeless Scandinavian design, made from the best quality materials to ensure a safe and fun swing. Read more about the benefits of swinging on their website.
Founded by Jenny Etherington and Thomas Mortimer in 1993 following the birth of their daughter Solvej. A cabinet maker and seamstress by trade, they were unhappy with the idea of putting their daughter in a moulded plastic swing so designed their own natural alternative.
The swings continue to be made in their rural home town of Matiere, New Zealand to foster the dream of providing employment and supporting the community in rural sectors of New Zealand and remain sustainable and as environmentally friendly as possible.
Their flagship convertible Baby-Toddler swings:
- are suitable from 6 months to 6 years old
- are for indoor or outdoor use
- are independently tested for multiple international safety standards
- carry a 9 year guarantee
- are easy to clean and move
- has a firm seat to support core development (swinging is great for vestibular development too, and getting babies to sleep!)
All the swings are made to last a lifetime (or more!) to provide joy to as many as possible. They are all made ethically, with a living wage paid to all employees, supportive work environment, environmentally sustainable business practices from the bottom to the top and a lot of love.
Solvej Swings are also sold in stores around the country.

Nappies & changing, Out and about
Stork and Daisy
As a mum, if you’re witnessing the joys of a nappy change on the car’s front seat, you’ll understand where it all came from.
After her second baby was born, the two car seats in the back took away the normal changing spot and Stork and Dairsy creator had to resort to the dreaded change in the front seat. It became routine on those trips to the town when the boot was full of the prams and groceries.
These change pads are made of a mouldable bean bag, middle board, and foam while the top cover is made of durable cotton and the base is made of a hard canvas. The base of the bean bag is sewn into the flexible overall cover, and double stitched to ensure that no beans can escape. They are nice and slim so fit easily behind a seat or in the boot. The covers are removable for easy washing if need be.
