Announcement
Reopening shop for a brief period of time as I'm working on new items, designs, and ideas.
Lovingly made baby gifts, from organic baby bunny loveys, plush fabric blocks, and sensory, crinkle toys, to hand-printed one-piece bodysuits, all arranged and designed, in-house. This is a slow-batch business, with attention put into each piece made. Please allow some time. New products arriving to the pages as I can! Happy days ahead!
Please note that everything in the shop is meticulously crafted and currently MADE TO ORDER, which requires a few days. Please check processing times under each listing and contact me with any questions.
Everyone be safe & well! //B+E family
Bird + Ele baby gifts include double gauze (muslin) loveys, organic snuggle bunnies, veg-tanned leather paci clips, plush toys, sensory blocks and teething toys. High-quality, hand crafted, heirloom baby gifts that are classic yet modern, stylish and functional.

5 out of 5 starsIt’s hard for me to recommend this product because I have not seen the baby girl play with the block as she does not live close to me. But it is quite adorable.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
TEETHERS:
- Remove the fabric strip and wash with everyday laundry.
- Wood Rings should always be handwashed, never in a dishwasher or soaked in the sink. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in damage to the ring, including splits, breaks and splinters.
BIBS, BURP CLOTHS:
Wash with everyday laundry.
BLOCKS:
Spot cleaning/sanitizing by hand is recommended, but if a run through the wash is deemed necessary, please use a cold water, gentle cycle with gentle detergent free of brighteners, whiteners, and chemicals harmful to baby and the environment. Post wash cycle, toss in a low setting dryer or air dry. Knead the block into shape.
Follow these simple care instructions for both organic and non-organic items.
Sizing details
Bib sizes denote the distance between the actual snaps, not the length of the bib, itself.
Custom and personalized orders
Custom orders are welcome, however, please keep in mind that creating a custom block will take longer as the layout of fabrics, ribbons, etc., takes a lot of thought.
Initials? Names?
I'm happy to personalize, but on a limited basis. I do everything by hand, and at this time, the personalization is in the form of a hand-embroidered applique.
Custom orders and personalized orders cannot be expedited as they usually take up to 2 weeks dependent upon my current work order.
Expedited orders
To have your order expedited (made by hand and shipped quickly) there is a RUSH FEE of $20.
Link to the RUSH FEE listing:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/240330458/rush-order?ref=listings_manager_grid
I may not be able to accommodate all rush orders, based on availability of materials, etc.
Wholesale availability
Wholesale requests are welcome! I no longer do consignment. Please contact me for further info regarding my wholesale terms, or if you are a member of the wholesale side of Etsy, please click this link:

Gift wrapping and packaging
My packaging is simple and minimal, at this time. I like to minimize my shop waste, so I use discarded fabric strips to bundle up most orders, and everything goes into a clear waterproof bag to protect your item(s) from the elements.
I am currently in the process of creating packaging that will enhance my products and leave a minimal impact on the landfill.
Processing Time
I make EVERYTHING by hand, by myself. I've requested a personal fairy to answer emails and tidy the shop floor, as well as a couple of seamstresses to help with the sewing, but until those positions are full, it's just me:
answering emails
searching for and ordering fabrics
photographing new items
writing listings
packaging
cutting tags and labels....
Please know that I work around the clock, until the wee hours when even the mice have stopped playing (and yes, I am seriously lining up a team for the future).
HOWEVER, see above for Expedited orders, and always, if you need your item by a particular date, please, please let me know to make sure I can accommodate your request.
