Gift Certificates now available

We are pleased to introduce our new gift certificate programme.

They are the ideal gift for a new baby and a new mum and dad.

You can send your gift certificate by email or on one of our baby wearing postcards (seen here on the left).
If your friends are not sure what sling to choose, we will be delighted to help them find what would work best for them.

If you have any questions on our gift certificates, please do not hesitate to contact us.
