Everything with a personal touch

If you want to give an original birth gift then you can think of a birth gift with a name, in other words a personalized birth gift. These are the best birth gifts with names.

1. Personalized book from MrStarsky

You know them; the personalized books. Absolutely a great gift for life. But what if you could give a book as a gift based on an entered name, birthplace, date and time? That's right, then you have a very unique birth book. And this is exactly the kind that MrStarsky makes. Yes, exactly the people behind the same personalized posters. We can never get enough of them.

2. Backpack Studio Noos

Who doesn't know them; the personalized backpacks from Studio Noos. Choose the backpack plus the name and - tada! - birth gift on fleek.

3. Bandana from Flora Bandana

Do you know Flora Bandana yet? Fleur personalizes bandanas with names and words. You can choose from different colored cloths and threads. How cute when the baby crawls around with such a brightly colored bandana around the neck.

4. Apron with name from Jet x Atelier POMME

The baby can't use it right away, but waste not, want not. The mini will definitely play kitchen or bake something at some point and then this amazing apron is pretty awesome. Anyway, everything that's personalised from Atelier POMME is fantastic!

5. Loveliest photo book with name

Sure, you can put a photo book together online, but you can also buy an old-fashioned photo book. No, not one of those boring white or blue ones, but one with the most beautiful vintage fabrics from Atelier Poppy. And you know what's nice, you complete it with a label including the baby's name. Forever wishlist material!

6. Name puzzle from CRE8

You can never go wrong with puzzles. But what if it's a name puzzle. That's right! The name puzzles from CRE8 are delightful to look at and fun to put back together. Difficult too, so it's good for your brain as well. You can choose from different sizes and colors and you can even have a personal message engraved on it. Fun fact: during Christmas they do Christmas ornaments with names.

7. Sheet, bath cape or towel from Atelier Annur

With the beautiful, soft Atelier Annur (we can't stop looking, no way) you can have sheets, bath capes or towels embroidered with a name in flowing letters. Think colors like Ivory, Burgundy Red and Sage Green. Well, we know which one we want.

8. Wooden lamp with name

Oh, how cute. The wooden bedside lamps from Hethoutlokael have something magical. A lamp you can stare at for hours. Besides that, we think it's pure craftsmanship. You can choose from different "backgrounds" and enter the name yourself.

9. Name hanger

Punched out names in all kinds of colors that you can, for example, hang at the top of the crib or on the wall? Yes indeed, JibbeJebba has it. Don't like the punching thing? Then there are also wire words. Check it out yourself.

10. Vintage knitwear

How cool is this! Willie the Label is a company from Munich where you can send a photo of a drawing by your child, which they then print on a t-shirt or sweater. Now babies aren't very creative with pen and paper, so this won't work for a birth gift. Of course, there's a solution; vintage knitwear where you can have a name embroidered. You can also provide your own knitwear.

When do you actually need to apply sunscreen?

When do you actually need to apply sunscreen?

Now that the sun is showing itself more and more often, it's time to reach for the sunscreen. Because we love the sun, but we don't want to get burned! But from when is it really necessary to apply sunscreen? Spoiler alert: not just when the temperature rises above 20 degrees. For our sunscreen advice, we look at the UV index. We'll tell you more about it. The power of the sun The UV index indicates the strength of the sun. In this index, sun strength is indicated on a scale of 0 to 15. At an index of 0-2 we speak of virtually no sun strength, 3-4 weak sun strength, 5-6 moderate, 7-8 strong and 8+ very strong. In the Netherlands, the strength of the sun is generally 0 to 8. In high-altitude places or countries close to the equator, the index can reach 15. Although you might think that the UV index is higher on a warm day, that doesn't have to be the case at all. Sun strength is determined not by temperature, but by the position of the sun. The higher the sun is in the sky, the higher the UV index. The amount of UV radiation is affected by clouds, dust or moisture in the atmosphere. At what UV index do you get burned? The higher the UV index, the faster you burn. For example, at a UV index between 6-8, you can burn within a quarter hour if you have sensitive or light skin. The danger here is that your skin doesn't turn red immediately. This is sometimes only visible after a few hours. If you see your skin turning red, the burn has actually been happening for a while. Even at a lower UV index, burning is a risk. For example, at a UV index of 3, depending on your skin type, you can burn within half an hour. At what UV index should you apply sunscreen? At a UV index of 3 you can already get a sunburn, pretty shocking right? That's why it's recommended to apply sunscreen at least from UV index 3 onwards. In the Netherlands this is roughly from April to October. But, now that the sun is showing itself earlier, it doesn't hurt to apply sunscreen on a sunny day in February or March. In any case a good idea to always use a day cream with spf, your skin only gets more beautiful from it. Reapply every two hours, preferably with a sunscreen with at least SPF30.

Sunscreen shelf-life: can you safely use last year's sunscreen?

Sunscreen shelf-life: can you safely use last year's sunscreen?

There she is again: the sun! You, and many others, probably still have some left over sunscreen from last year in your cupboard. But, is it still safe to use or did it expire by now? Read more to find out when it’s time to buy new sunscreen. Expiration Sunscreen creams, sprays and sticks all come with an expiration date. Just as with your food, this date is usually on the pack of the product. Usually the shelf life of sunscreen is indicated with 12M. Which means it’s safe to use the product up until 12 months after opening. Note: the product needs to be well-closed and stored in a dry and dark place at room temperature! Keep in mind that if your sunscreen got very warm, the SPF might have gotten lower. Naïf sun protection has (when closed) a shelf life of 36 months, when opened you can safely use it for 12 months. Does this mean you need to throw out your sunscreen after a year? Not necessary, but it is important to note that you’re not as well protected. Make sure that, when using an ‘older’ sunscreen, you apply it more often, because the SPF is not as good. The same applies to after sun: 36 months closed, 12 months when opened. But, with after sun, it is important to buy a new product after a year, because an open tube or bottle can contain bacteria and you’d rather not put those on the already sensitive or red skin. In doubt? Take a sniff Not sure if your sunscreen is still good to go? Just smell it! Does it smell differently than when you first used it, you might want to stay away from it. You can also check of the product still looks good. Watery or lumpy? Better get rid of it and get a new one. Storing sunscreen Make sure to keep your sunscreen in a cool place. The bathroom might be your first thought, but keep in mind that the bathroom has a lot of temperature changes, so it’s not ideal. Rather go for a drawer in your bedroom or a closed cupboard. Some might think the perfect spot is the refrigerator, and it’s definitely an option, but not necessary!

Our Baby Oil: Now New with 0% Fragrance

Baby skin is something very special. It is delicate, sensitive, and still getting used to the world. That's exactly why we at Naïf believe that care should be one thing above all: gentle, protective, and as reduced as possible. Because sometimes good care means adding less – and leaving more room for what is natural.From this thought comes our baby oil now also with 0% fragrance. Because every baby has different needsOur baby oil with fragrance has been a staple of many care routines for years. It smells subtle, feels pleasant, and is appreciated by many families. That doesn't change – this variant will of course remain in our range. At the same time, we know there are parents who consciously want to avoid fragrances. Whether due to particularly sensitive skin, a tendency toward skin irritation, or simply a desire to keep skincare as pure as possible.With the new fragrance-free variant, we want to meet exactly these needs. Not as a replacement, but as an addition. The same trusted care – just without fragrances.Babies don't need fragrance to be wonderfulBabies bring their own scent with them. One you can't explain, but you recognize immediately. For us, it was therefore clear: a baby oil just needs to be able to care gently.Our new baby oil with 0% fragrance gently provides the skin with moisture, protects it from drying out, and feels just as familiar as you know from Naïf – just without any additional fragrance.AllergyCertified – carefully testedOur new baby oil is also AllergyCertified. This means that formulations have been carefully checked to identify allergens and other harmful ingredients that can irritate the skin or lead to other known or suspected health problems. Products with this seal contain none of these ingredients. Especially with very sensitive baby skin, this can provide a reassuring feeling – for parents as much as for their little ones.Care that feels rightWhether with fragrance or without: Both baby oils were developed to gently care for and protect your baby's skin. Which variant fits best is your choice – by feel, by experience, and by what's good for your family.Because in the end, it's not about doing without or rules, but about trust. And about care that feels just as good as it works.
