Shopping frenzy: baby products with extra Jöö factor

Sometimes beautiful just isn't beautiful enough! The "yay" factor dominates and pushes the useful character into the background. Does that make the item impractical? Never mind, the main thing is that it's cute! Shopping frenzy ahoy ...

Every evening, I tidy up the mess around the house with my children to make room for a new mess the next morning. But I have to spend at least a few hours tidying up my home - for my own well-being.

Every time I tidy up, I notice that the toys are bursting with colour. Unfortunately, it's a little too colourful for my needs. This is exactly why I search the depths of the Galaxus range for toys that are not 08/15. It doesn't necessarily have to be practical, just trigger a feeling of "must-have" and still offer the child a lot of fun.

I'll introduce you to three brands: Sebra, Bloomingville and OYOY. I am particularly impressed by their simple products, which have a gender-neutral and purist design. There are some must-haves from these brands that I would love to add to my cart. One interesting thing the three have in common is that they are all Danish brands.

Sebra

The brand Sebra emphasises modern design, very good quality and sustainable products. A large part of the collection is made by hand. They use natural materials such as wood, wool and cotton. Sebra also keeps the choice of colours subtle to suit my taste.

Bloomingville

The Bloomingville brand offers products for almost every living and household area. The selection is large, as is the choice of colours. But you won't find brightly coloured children's toys at Bloomingville. Even individual products give the room a new look and change it in a refreshing, elegant way.

OYOY

The OYOY brand stands for functionality, high-quality materials and an affinity for Scandinavian and Japanese design. Their motto is "less is more". The products are playful and anything but perfect. The combination of individual items with existing items brings new charm to the children's room.

All of these products are not only suitable for gifting on festive occasions, but also make my wallet bleed. Because as soon as the items are in my watch list, I've almost bought them.
