Even the savviest shopper can be intimidated by the prospect of selecting the perfect gift for a co-worker or loved one with an impending birth. An upscale online shop, Max Daniel Gift & Baby, takes on the guesswork by customizing luxury gift baskets or diaper bags filled with onesies, bibs, bottles, and other essential items (prices start at $125). The online retailer also offers its own brand of deluxe blankets as well as products from such well-loved brands as Trumpette, Blablakids, and Baby Cie. Among the more popular items is the Max Daniel Baby Signature collection. It includes the Rosebuds and Satin security blanket, an ultraplush throw with swirls on one side and the softest satin on the other, and a matching satin trim ($64). The blanket is available in white blue snow, pink snow, and lavender, and features a range of patterns, including chocolate, baby blue, and pink dots. For more information, go to maxdaniel.com.
