If you’ve followed my blog since a little while, you have probably noticed that I like to personalise things. To make them unique. Especially if they are for my kids. I like to put a little bit of me into everything that goes into my children’s rooms. A bit of my love. Of my time. And imagination.

That’s maybe why I immediately fell in love with Butterscotch Baby when I discovered the brand a few months ago. Grown from an established family-run business in South Africa, Butterscotch Baby has only recently been launched in the UAE. And they make the most beautiful bespoke linen and interior ranges for babies and children. Hand on heart. From blankets, to feeding pillows, sleep pods, nappy bags and complete linen sets, everything is made to order in the company’s design studio in South Africa.

A few weeks ago, I got in touch with Leigh-Ann, the founder of Butterscotch Baby. I wanted to meet her for a coffee. I wanted to hear her story. And the one of her little company. Being the child of two entrepreneurs, I feel very close to family-run businesses. I feel the need to support them. Especially when their products are so pretty. And unique.

Leigh-Ann and I decided to work together. To create a linen set for Maëva’s room. The next time we met, she brought a wide range of fabric samples for me to choose from. We had a look at Maëva’s room and agreed on a colour scheme. Light pink. And grey. The fact that Leigh-Ann is an experienced interior designer was definitely of great help. Based on our discussions, she created a mood board for me. To give me an idea of the final product. And as soon as I saw it, I knew I would love the final product.

All Butterscotch Baby products are made from breathable hypoallergenic materials that are completely safe for babies and can be customised with different embroidery themes. Names, phrases, storybook characters, drawings… you name it. I decided to draw a little Indian girl that reminds me of my little braveheart. And to write her name in my own handwriting.

The result is stunning. And so unique. Maëva absolutely loves the little Indian girl on her pillow and proudly tells me “Mimi” (i.e. that’s me) every time she sees it. Maintenance is easy as well. Thankfully. All linen are 100% cotton and machine washable (do not tumble dry though). An absolute must, considering the little accidents that can happen at night…

The lead-time for every product is about 6 to 8 weeks as all items are custom made in South Africa. Leigh-Ann is fab and was very responsive during the entire process.

Butterscotch Baby also offers a voucher system, which is, in my opinion, the ideal baby shower gift! Every time I am invited to a baby shower, I am searching for gift ideas that are a bit different from the usual Spa voucher, blanket and baby clothes. Well, there you go 😉

You can contact Leigh-Ann directly for more information on their gift vouchers and all Butterscotch Baby products.
