~ Mothercare Shopping Spree! ~

Since having our little bundle of joy, I had always have this weak spot for baby products and those itsy bitsy baby clothes. One of the most frequent shop I end up walking into happens to be Mothercare. I just couldn't help it, the baby clothes are all sooooooo cute there! ( >.< ) So, one day when my hubby took our dear baby daughter and me to Alamanda directly from the hospital after she got her second month's shot, I took the chance to stop by Mothercare's outlet and give in to that little voice in my head that always chants,"Shop! shop! shop!". Lucky for me, Mothercare was having their 25th Anniversary Sale! I ended up buying quite a storm in my one shopping trip at the store. Well, actually the storm was brewing in my hubby's wallet! Hehe..

One of the things I bought was a pack of Aden+Anais' Swaddle Blanket. I had been looking for Aden+Anais' Swaddle Blanket for quite a while and I was very delighted to find it in Mothercare's store! It is really impossible to find anywhere else, even on local online baby shops. The fabric is very soft and comfortable, it definitely will not scratch my baby's delicate skin. It is also breathable so I am not worried about my baby being overheated when she is all swaddled up. The size of the blanket is actually very large, making it easier to swaddle my little baby girl and ensuring that she does not succeed in cleverly wiggling her little arms free of the swaddle. The best part is the more you wash the Aden+Anais' Swaddle Blanket, the softer it gets! Seriously, no kidding, it is true. I really really love them!

I know the shade of pink for girls are so overrated, but I had been eyeing the pink 8-piece gift set for girls for quite sometime now but never got around to purchasing them since the size that I wanted to get was always out of stock. Fortunately for me, it was available during the sale! My little heart was jumping with joy as I, at last, picked up the gift set for my dear daughter. In this set, there is an adorable little reversible long sleeve shirt, a long sleeve sleeping romper, a long sleeve bodysuit, a short sleeve bodysuit, a pair of pants with feet, a bib, a pair of mittens and a hat. All of the colours are coordinated and there's a cute motto which says 'Made with love' and teddy bear motifs with either little dots or stripes printed on the clothes. The material is very soft and comfortable. I think the long sleeve shirt and hat is going to be used often whenever we go to the hospital for our baby's checkups and shots and the rest is definitely for her daily use.

The adorable 8-piece Gift Set. Very very cute outfits!

Mothercare always carries cute bodysuits and I always have a weak spot for cute clothes especially bodysuits! During my shopping spree, I also picked up a pack of 5 pure soft cotton bodysuits with animal prints on them plus a pack of 3 pure soft cotton coordinated pants that matches the patterns of the pinky bodysuits. By that time, I thought 5 pieces of bodysuits were plenty enough for my baby so I decided to wrap up my shopping spree for the day. On the way to the cashier, I stopped in my tracks when I saw a very cute bodysuit with a cute slogan printed on it which was 'Mummy's little dreamer'. It was in the shade of off white and baby blue, so I guess it was really meant for cuddly little baby boys. I really don't think it's wrong to dress my little baby girl in it because it is sooo adorable looking! ( ^_^ ) After a short mental debate with myself (as if I needed the debate!), I picked it up in the end! Hehe.. I also picked up two pairs of blue pants (dark blue and soft baby blue) to be worn with the cute 'Little Dreamer' bodysuit and also two extra pairs of plain pink pants (soft pink and dark pink) that can be worn with any of the pink bodysuits, mix and match style.

Arms bundled with a whole lot of cute outfits for my wee little one and feeling satisfied with the selections I chose, once again I decided to wrap up my shopping escapade. After steeling my heart against picking up other cute outfits on display, I aimed myself to the checkout counter. Again, as I was walking in between the aisles heading towards the cashier, arrays of hanging socks at the socks' section caught my eyes and I stopped (yes, again!). On impulse, I reached out and felt the material of the socks and I thought, "Ho boy!". They were oh so soft and I just couldn't pass them up. A baby can't have enough socks, right? Haha! My baby do need lots of socks and this pack consists of 5 pairs of them. I was torn in between the pink ones and the multicoloured ones. In the end, I chose the one with soft brown, beige, yellow and green socks. I bought the socks in a size larger than my baby's current feet size so that she is able to wear them a little bit longer.

I really love Mothercare's range of baby clothes because the material are always soft and comfortable. Plus, they are always made out of 100% cotton so I am sure my baby feels comfy in what she wears. Here's a picture of my little cutey in her cute Mummy's Little Dreamer bodysuit and baby blue pants, sucking her favourite pacifier, trying to fight off her sleepiness after being bathed and nursed.

I do believe these purchases I made were money well spent for the quality of the products I got. I definitely am going back to the store again and again to browse through the clothes, toiletries, feeding bottles and other baby essentials products! And I am definitely will be purchasing more outfits from Mothercare for my dear little baby girl as she grows. ( ^_^ )
