A gift for the season the baby arrives in. A blanket for the chair, a sweater and a knit dog for the baby, a book to read aloud, and for her: a hand serum, a body mist, a book of her own, a tin of chamomile and a bar of chocolate.
Why we built it
Most of what arrives this season is for the baby. The Good List keeps the baby on it and puts her on it too.
The pieces, and why
Maison Deux, Candy Wrap Blanket in Navy / Ice Blue
For the chair everyone ends up in.
Navy and ice blue stripes, jacquard-woven from 100 percent New Zealand wool with a cream fringe, the stripes mirrored on the reverse. 51 by 79 inches, Woolmark and OEKO-TEX certified, made in Lithuania.
Viverano Organics, Ski Club Embroidered Pullover
The baby's first sweater of the season.
Ecru organic cotton with crossed skis embroidered on the chest and a line of mountains beneath, buttoned at the shoulder so it goes on easily. Choose 3-6M, 6-12M, 12-18M or 2T.
Viverano Organics, Rocky Lil Dog Knit Toy in Taupe
Someone to keep the baby company.
A knit puppy about 11 inches tall, with long soft ears and a cream face and tummy, in an organic cotton shell. Made by hand at a GOTS-certified facility in India.
Chronicle Books, Bunny Slopes
Read aloud, and the book does the rest.
Claudia Rueda's picture book about a bunny on his first ski run. Shake the book to make it snow, tilt it to send him down the slope. For ages 0 to 5.
SIDIA, SOAKED Hand Serum
Her hands get something too.
A lightweight, fast-absorbing serum of glycerin, shea butter and aloe in a 1.7 fl oz airless pump tube, softly scented with juniper, cypress, amber and musk. From Toronto.
SIDIA, SOAKED Body Mist
A scent that's only hers.
Composed by perfumer Nathalie Rouquet: juniper, lemon and olibanum over cypress and cedarwood, settling into amber, leather and musk. 3.4 fl oz, with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.
Chronicle Books, Sanctuary
A book for her side of the bed.
Twenty-one homes in five countries, compiled by the editors of IN BED, with essays on how each owner filled a home with meaning rather than styling. Hardcover.
The Quiet Botanist, Chamomile Tea Gift Set
Steeped, not rushed.
Whole-flower chamomile that tastes of honey and fig, two and a half ounces in a printed canister with a leaf steeper, from Hudson, New York. Caffeine-free.
Casa Bosques, Sea Salt 74% Chocolate Bar
One square, or the whole bar.
Heirloom cacao at 74 percent, finished with a touch of fleur de sel. 2.12 oz.
