Hooded baby towels that actually do what a hooded baby towel is supposed to do. Shocking.
Hooded towels are pretty much a requisite baby registry purchase, but most of the big shops that moms register with offer the thinnest, scratchiest, least absorbent towels in the world. I know. I've been there, as have my poor shivering kids. So you'd better hope your baby shower guests make a detour over Mia Belle Baby for their most excellent double-layered hooded baby towel.

Big, thirsty, and deliciously soft, it's a must-have in the bathroom or next to the pool. The absorbent terry is on the inside, and a bathrobe-like knit on the outside keeps it extra-warm. But what makes it really special is an adjustable knot on the hood so it fits your newborn, but won't cut off the circulation on his head when he turns four.

The beautiful vintage-inspired packaging includes the requisite cute bath sponge animal, making the set a terrific new mama gift. Not necessarily the exact one she registered for, but that's probably a good thing. -Liz
