Royal baby collection: a baby-sized celebration

With the royal baby due any moment, Britain is set to go royal baby crazy. With experts predicting that the newborn will provide a massive boost to the UK economy, Centre for Retail Research has found that Brits are likely to spend £243 million on champagne, memorabilia and food for parties.

In preparation for the royal baby boom, as well as stocking up on champers, you can also get your favourite little person in your life ready for the celebrations with some appropriately British paraphernalia.

Babes with Babies have a perfect array of baby gear, from “changing the guards” baby hats, grows and t-shirts to very cute Union Jack shoes. Babies can even join in with the dancing with their very own royal baby celebratory sweet silver chimes rattle.

For a more country feel, Toft has the perfect collection. Using the finest organic British alpaca and lamb’s wool yarns, knitted crown details emblazon jumpers, jump-suits and tanks, as well as crochet crowns. Not only can you buy the collection, but you can also knit them yourself by purchasing a knit kit.

Not forgetting mums too, Babes with Babies also stocks “congratulations to Kate” candles, for those of you who like to collect royal memorabilia.

With the nation eagerly awaiting the news, and Will and Kate giving permission for royal baby commemorative pieces, now is the ideal time stock up on all the best pieces before the world goes wild for baby Cambridge.
