Baby Style: 10 Stylish Gifts For The Modern Mom (And Baby Too)

I'm going to be quite honest, I'm years away from having a baby myself- but that doesn't mean I don't adore buying shower gifts! From Jessica Alba's daughter and the birth of Vivienne and Knox Jolie-Pitt it seems that this spring and summer has been baby mania and I've noticed the baby bump trend isn't just for celebs! With baby shower invitations racking up, I've started looking for new shower gift options. A huge part of the fun of a baby shower is the opening of all the gifts- everyone loves to ooh and ahh at the cute little outfits and toys. While practical gifts like diapers and formula are always appreciated, now more than ever there are more stylish and interesting gifts for the modern mom. I'm loving the mod circles baby blanket from babystyle.com that's useful as well as modern and cool. Another great original gift- Little Miss Matched Baby socks- which comes with 9 socks, since you're bound to lose one in the wash! Many of mommy-to-be's favorite designers are now making clothes for their mini-mes, from cozy C&C California and Joie dresses and tees to tailored kids clothes from Tocca. And don't forget something for the mom to be as well- she will absolutely appreciate a spa treatment or an at home kit like Mama Mio's countdown kit, which comes with Tummy Rub Butter and massage oil. See my SLIDESHOW for the rest of the gifts!

If you're looking for a way to turn your plain ol' outdoor space into a hip gathering spot for evening parties that last well into the wee hours, look no further than fire pits. Not only do fire pits provide warmth once the sun sets, their attractive glow and crackling sound effects set the mood better than any other outdoor living accessory. Plus, they come in a wide array of designs and styles, from modern to Asian to rustic. The cherry on top? A lot of fire pits double as grills, which means you'll be bringing home some serious two-for-one summer fun. Hive Tip: Don't have room for a full-fledged fire pit? Invest in some small gel-fire burners - they're the sleek, grown-up version of tiki torches and provide bigger flames than candles!
