Big Blue Cuddle in the press

Stylenest - Big Blue Cuddle
"With charity collaborations cropping up here there and everywhere, but brands not always being clear about where or how much of the money is given directly to the supported charity, Big Blue Cuddle is a refreshing and honest approach to giving a little something back"

"If you are looking for a something just that little bit less run of the mill, but more exciting and fresh for your kiddies’ wardrobes this Spring and Summer, then it’s well worth taking a look at online store Big Blue Cuddle which not only works with up and coming brands, but brings them them together to support children’s charities here in the UK"

The Baba Blog - Big Blue Cuddle

Lucky Boy - 25% off entire purchase at Big Blue Cuddle
"For those not in the know, Big Blue Cuddle has hard to find, high-end, global children’s fashion, and they ship to the US. A massive chunk of all sales go directly to charities that benefit children. This is the perfect time to check off all the kids on your Christmas shopping list this year."
Pirouette - One the success of Scandinavian brands
"I definitely have a soft spot for scandinavian brands! We love them because they are imaginative, playful and colourful, almost a little crazy sometimes. Scandinavian children clothes seem to celebrate childhood, let children be children and dresses them as they’d be in THEIR world, not from a grown-up perspective. We are lucky enough to have the support of 8 brands. Not only they make gorgeous clothes but they are also often ethically/sustainably produced – which of course makes us feel even more proud to be selling them."

Blog by Baby - Big Blue Cuddle, shop with a difference
I was amazed at how beautiful the clothes come wrapped. In brown paper,handwrapped and tied with a ribbon, there was a card telling me that a donation has been made to a charity too. If I was receiving this as a gift for my new baby, it would really warm my heart that someone had taken the time to make someone else benefit from the kind gift too.
