Giveaway: $50 Gift Certificate to Warm Biscuit Bedding Company

10/5/07 - By Anna Fader

I'm not much of a soft-y, but there's something about vintage kid stuff that just makes me weak in the knees. I'm not talking about like 1970s hipster let's-put-Atari-decals-on-the-walls vintage. I mean like Dick and Jane 1950s vintage. The innocence and the optimism just thrills me. And, let's face it, there's nothing more optimistic than having a baby–or decorating a nursery, for that matter. Filling your child's room with beautiful, wholesome toys and artwork is a wish that your and your children's lives will be just as perfect and serene as the room.

If there's any place to stock up on vintage optimism, it's The Warm Biscuit Bedding Company. They sell all kinds of furniture, decorations and of course bedding for lovely kids' rooms, but I have to say my heart lies in their classic toys. And they sell pages and pages of them.

You can really get lost in this site for a long time just checking out all the wonderful things that they have.

Anything from this site would be perfect for a baby shower or baby gift, but really you could just shop from this store for your own family and you would be the envy of all your friends. There's plenty of stuff for older children. There's also sweet vintage books, games, even birthday stuff. And I can't forget to mention the vintage children's fabrics which I absolutely die for.

Admittedly, the prices are not cheap but this isn't cheap stuff. You're not going to worry about any of this stuff being recalled and it should last. Timeless, beautifully designed and hip. Personally, I'm picking up one of the baby scrapbooks. They are illustrated with adorable vintage storybook illustrations and make me nostalgic for those baby days already. Well, yes, my son is 4, but he's a second child and it's about time someone noticed he was here.

To win a chance at the $50 gift certificate for The Warm Biscuit Company, just leave a comment on this post by midnight on Tuesday, October 9th. General Guidelines-
