Buying guide
For a new grandchild, muslin basics make thoughtful gifts: a soft onesie or two for everyday wear, a frilled onesie for special photos, a snuggle hug towel for bath time, and a pair of muslin pajamas for sleep. Muslin softens with every wash, so these pieces only get comfier as the baby grows.

We are Vanessa and Bob, and we make muslin clothes for babies and toddlers in Bali. Grandparents often ask us what to bring for a new grandchild, and muslin is an easy answer: it is soft and it gets better with every wash. Here are a few pieces we think make good gifts, no guesswork needed.
A simple, everyday piece new parents will actually reach for, soft double-layer muslin that only gets gentler with washing.
A sweet pick for photos and visits, the same breathable muslin underneath the frills.
Useful right after bath time, soft and roomy enough to wrap a newborn or a toddler.
Breathable sleepwear that is easy to wash and easy to reach for on ordinary nights.
Sizes run from newborn up to 4 years, so picking a size ahead of the baby's current age gives them room to grow into the gift.
Wash cold on a gentle cycle and tumble dry low or hang to dry. Skip fabric softener and high heat, and do not worry if the fabric creases, that is just how muslin behaves.
