You love tricking out presents (they don’t call you Bowzilla for nothing). This year, think inside the box with pretty items to embellish your child’s life.
Coverings
Tots look crisp and carefree in Fine Handmade Clothing’s linen shirts and pants for boys and silk organza dresses for girls, each meticulously stitched the old-fashioned way.
Bows
All-silk neckwear from South Beach Ties is handmade in Italy, but designed in Miami (check the palm tree, flip-flop, and dolphin motifs that riff on the local landscape).
Tags
The name and birthday of your precious treasure can be stamped onto custom jewelry and key chains. Choose from sterling silver or copper (Baby Posh Garage, 18060 West Dixie Highway, Aventura; 305-932-9655).
Charms
For a finishing touch, shake things up with a cute and cuddly New Zealand wool rattle (Emporium, 4710 South Le Jeune Road, Coral Gables; 786-268-0689).
That’s a wrap.
