As a sentimental person, I prefer giving unique and individual gifts to newborns - something handmade or personalized or absolutely unique. I’ve recently discovered these perfect baby-hand sized wooden rattles from Germany. The rattle is a soft triangular shape (no hard edges here) with a round, polished stone almost floating inside. It’s actually mounted on a wooden rod in one of the corners. Twelve different stones are available allowing me to select the color and characteristics that seem just right for the baby. My personal preference is the tiger eye which complements the wood wonderfully. Gorgeous!
