LITTLE CHICKIE – win this gorgeous nightgown!

My school bestie (hi Tania!) is about to have her second daughter in a couple of weeks, and if I can’t be there to give her schmooshy cuddles (the baby, I mean, although Tania can get one too if she asks nicely), then the least I can do is send her a lovely ‘welcome to the world’ gift from her Auntie Jax.

How cute is this Piccalilly nightie from the family-run LITTLE CHICKIE online boutique? So cute, that’s what.

I just adore the contemporary woodland print and the fact it’s so fun and colourful. But this doesn’t just look amazing, it also includes a very clever time-saving feature; the drawstring bottom creates a sleep sack, keeping bubs warm and snug all night.

This is definitely one of those products I wish I’d known about when my girls were babies: for those nighttime changes you simply release the drawstring, change the nappy and you’re back in business (and back in bed) in minutes. So much easier than faffing about with onesies and poppers, and waking bubs up in the process, right?

Add to that built-in scratch mitts, and an envelope neck (so you can pull it down over those nightmare nappies, rather than up over the head) and you’ve pretty much got the perfect nightgown, and – for me – the perfect newborn gift.

LITTLE CHICKIE owner Ellen spent 20 years in the clothing industry before taking over the site in 2014. Piccallily is just one of the labels featured on the newly revamped website, where you’ll also find Toby Tiger, Nature’s Purest, Little Green Radicals and Pigeon Organics among the quality brands she has sourced from all over the globe.

Delivery is via Royal Mail’s ‘Signed For’ service, and is free for orders over £40 (£3.95 otherwise). And keep an eye out for their gift wrapping service, which is coming soon.

But before you rush off to check it out the boutique for yourself, why not enter to win your very own Woodland Floral Baby Bundler Nightgown, worth £17.99? To enter the random draw for yourself, or an expecting friend, simply follow the Rafflecopter prompts, below.
