Making Parenting Easier
We all know of someone who can be impossible to buy for, but shopping for parents of babies and toddlers can be especially tricky! Buying something a baby does not already have or may not need (let alone want!) can be a daunting prospect.
Here at Cheeky Rascals, we take pride in offering genuinely useful solutions with products that are designed to make parents lives easier. From advanced baby tech to effective sleep aids – whatever the challenge, you’re in the right place for unique Christmas baby gifts.
Feeding a baby or toddler can often be overwhelming, especially if there is more than one hungry mouth to feed! However, feeding little mouths doesn’t have to be tiring and time consuming. With the right tools to help, you can really take some of the ‘stress’ out of mealtimes.
Why not give the gift of ‘time’ this Christmas? The traditional way of making formula bottles with a kettle can often be time consuming and unhygienic while the desired bottle of formula is meticulously prepared.
The state-of-the-art Formula Pro Advanced combats these issues by making an automatically mixed baby formula bottle in as little as 15 seconds – that is 80 times faster than the traditional method! Unlike their competitors, there is no measuring, no mixing and no fuss in the bottle making process. With a crying baby in their arms and time running short, the Formula Pro Advanced can really be a lifesaver for parents of formula fed babies!
Whether you know a baby that is starting to move onto solids or buying for expectant parents, it is never too early (or late!) to invest in a baby food maker. Did you know that babies typically start getting introduced to solid foods at around 4-6 months old? This is an exciting time when babies start exploring a broader world of flavour (find out more about weaning).
Baby Brezza have developed the One Step Food Maker Deluxe, a baby food maker that follows the same time-saving principles as the Formula Pro Advanced. Unlike traditional machines, this baby food maker steams and blends at the press of a button, and in the same compartment, so parents can return to a readily made meal without needing to worry about transferring food after steaming.
It will be a great opportunity to test out this machine with Christmas dinner leftovers, with the capability to adapt to every stage of weaning, the food maker deluxe will make baby’s very first purées to more lumpy textures. This machine can also be used for non-baby foods too, such as hard boiled eggs, pasta, vegetables, or even soup, perfect for this time of year.
Sometimes the importance of creating a safe cooking environment in the kitchen can be easy to overlook. Especially in increasingly popular open plan living spaces, parents must anticipate new hazards as curious toddlers have more space to roam around the kitchen.
Suitable for all electric, gas, ceramic, and induction hobs, featuring a robust and stylish design that fits seamlessly into the modern kitchen. Unlike other popular stove guards, the Stove & Hob Guard adjusts from 57cm to a whopping 90cm wide – accommodating the widest of kitchen hobs! Letting caregivers carry on cooking safely while keeping little hands away from pans, hot surfaces and stove controls.
