Started in 1986 by two grieving sisters, Washington–based Bunnies By The Bay began in response to a family loss; as part of the path to hopeful healing, the siblings believed that everything could be rescued, even broken hearts. They felt that help often comes in the most surprising ways – a snuggly best friend plush toy to share your secrets or a story–filled board book opening a door into another world. The company focuses on creating endearing baby gifts for little ones embarking on their first year of life. The imaginative, high quality product line includes footie pajamas, melamine dinnerware sets, baby blankets, shirt and pant sets, layette, new baby gift sets, buddy blankets, blanket and burp sets, apparel sets, beanie and bootie sets, slippers, board books, stuffed animals, plush and more. The charming collection offers lots of ideas for baby shower gifts, new baby gifts and first birthday gifts.
