WINNER: PLATINUM BEST BABIES TOILETRIES COLLECTION
WHO: Little Aurelia Probiotic Skincare - The Woodland Friends Gift Set
WHAT: A beautifully illustrated keepsake suitcase containing full sizes of Little Aurelia’s BioOrganic, luxury skincare for babies and children including Sleep Time Top to Toe Wash, Sleep Time Top to Toe Cream, Sleep Time Bath & Massage Oil, Comfort & Calm Rescue Cream, Sleep Time Pillow Mist, a natural konjac sponge and a limited edition Sleep Time Tales book.
WHY: Everyone without fail, cooed and clucked over this blush pink suitcase decorated with enchanting woodland animals and filled to the brim with the most luxurious natural skincare for babies. As to be expected from Aurelia, the quality of the products more than live up to the stunning packaging, making these calming, nurturing lotions perfect for a soothing pre-bedtime bath. Our judges felt that this adorable set would make the perfect gift for a newborn and any parents who want to invest in bio-organic skincare for their children. Our judges said:
Really pretty : )
I haven’t tried all the products from Aurelia, but the cleanser and serum I had were wonderful! Love how natural the brand is!
Exceptional product and a beautiful brand - a real sentimental offering that doesn’t compromise on quality. A great quality gift for all the babies out there.
This exquisite gift set will not only look beautiful in the nursery but will set baby off on the very best path when it comes to high quality, organic and soothing skincare! The suitcase and story book make this a gift that will be appreciated for years to come.

WINNER: GOLD BEST BABIES TOILETRIES COLLECTION
WHO: Bloom and Blossom Bath, Book & Bedtime - The Very Hungry Caterpillar
WHAT: A toiletries range for babies featuring Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Dermatologist and paediatrician approved, safe for sensitive skin and suitable from newborn - 2 years, this is the the first rung on the ladder for Bloom and Blossom fans who want to get baby into the Bath, Book & Bedtime routine.
WHY: The first exclamations of excitement were all about that iconic caterpillar (who incidentally celebrates his 50th anniversary this year!). Our judges loved the fact that Bloom and Blossom have found a new and much loved book character to appeal directly to babies and toddlers – who doesn’t remember loving the greedy adventure of TVHC when they were wee? The second exclamations of excitement were all about the gorgeous, subtle and oh-so-addictive smell of the products. Our judges commented:
Love this brand, excited about a new collab, our babies love The Hungry Caterpillar. Pump lids are the best.
Yet again Bloom & Blossom have joined forces with a giant of children’s literature to create a range that makes bath time both an exciting and soothing event. The scent is divine and the products are gentle enough to use on a newborn. And, it was so exciting to be one of the first to see the products at our judging day - as it was still top secret!
WHERE: Bloom and Blossom
WINNER: SILVER BEST BABIES TOILETRIES COLLECTION
WHO: Neu Oil Baby
WHAT: A brand new range of luxury aromatherapy blends designed specifically for babies. Described as a sensory tool kit to support your little one's everyday needs, each 100% natural blend contains baby-safe essential oils to engage the senses and promote physical or emotional wellness for different needs throughout the day. Certified safe to use from 3 months.
WHY: Our judges loved everything about this set of oils for babies and were extremely impressed with the thought, care, knowledge and eye for design that has come together to make this a fantastic gift and some might say essential purchase for a baby. They were also impressed with the quality of the oils which are 100% plant-based, cruelty-free, ethically sourced and use no palm oil, colours or parabens. In a world where everything is speeding up, the idea of encouraging time for massage with the beneficial effects of aromatherapy is very appealing. Our judges wrote in their notes:
Love these. The whole package, branding, product, quality. Bravo!
Beautiful product packaging design and great product.
Glorious in every way! Natural, stylish yet playful packaging, wonderful scent options and a great way to encourage continued bonding with your children that often falls to the wayside as they get older.
WHERE: Neu Oil
WINNER: BRONZE BEST BABIES TOILETRIES COLLECTION
WHO: Kokoso Baby Skincare Collection
WHAT: A kind and gentle toiletries range made with premium organic coconut oil. This company is run by a husband and wife team who are parents who pride themselves on making skincare that is gentle enough for newborns, sensitive and eczema-prone skin and is presented in stylish eco-friendly packaging.
WHY: This company takes baby skincare seriously and our judges felt that the outstanding quality of their products really did reflect this. Not only are these products fantastic for babies’ sensitive skin but the whole experience of using them really is a pleasure thanks to the gorgeous packaging with its lovely lilac colour-way and minimal design. Our judges were also extremely impressed with this company’s dedication to being eco-friendly and were amazed that even the windows in their packaging are derived from wood pulp and completely home compostable. Our judges said:
Really love the environmental ethos of this brand.
Every new parent should be given this when they first have their baby.
Love this brand, amazing for sensitive skin. Anything coconut oil based we love.
