A List Baby | AListBaby.Net|From designer nurseries to boy toddler clothes and crib combo sets, we help you and your baby live your most fabulous life.

As 2008 winds down, many of our readers are preparing for a new bundle of joy in 2009! Below are some of our favorite products for newborns:

Violet’s Peapod Sleep Sacks, $53.95
These are essentially wearable blankets, which are cozily worn over pajamas.
By replacing loose blankets in the crib, sleep sacks provide a safer sleeping environment for babies, and their body temperature is regulated all night. The peapod-shaped sacks are designed in-house, and they are produced in the United States, using all-natural fibers.

Morado Designs Baby Blanket, $48
This particular design features one side of punk baby flannel fabric, and the reverse is a silky-furry fleece. Morado has several modern and chic designs to choose from! This is one of the softest blankets you will ever feel! It can be used as a stroller or a nap blanket. Machine washable.

Baby & Mom Spa Gift Set by vedaPURE, $160

This organic skin care is chemical-free and perfect for babies and moms in need of some pampering and TLC. The natural ingredients target hormonally-challenged skin, sleep-deprived bodies, and maternity-induced aches and blemishes. Expectant mom Brooke Sheen is a fan of the products in this set, which include body wash, shampoo, body cream and body polish.

Today, we announce a fun and fabulous AListBaby giveaway!

We adore the Baby Bento Box! It is a perfect baby shower gift for any expecting mom or proud new parents. The Baby Bento Box Gift, $65, is full of sweet things for baby: a one-of-a-kind onesie, MomSpit (a no-water cleanser), soft sushi roll washcloths and more.
