Small Wonder

Alma Crib from Bloom

Getting ready for baby has made you a total space case. As in, you’re clueless where to put the tiny bundle once you get her home.

Find some breathing room with the new Alma crib from Bloom.

Smaller than a standard-size crib, the stylish mini bed is ideal for parents with limited square footage. It has two mattress heights, so you can use it from bassinet up to 2 years. The best part: It folds neatly for storage when not in use. Invest in an extra crib for Granny’s house or strategically squeeze siblings into tight quarters.

It’s a small world, after all.

Available at Giggle, 517 South Lake Avenue, at Granite Drive, Pasadena (626-744-0233 or giggle.com).
