Wild and Soft
Add a touch of softness to the nursery with this Belgian brand. Wild & Soft creates the softest home accessories in the world and brings the animal kingdom into children's rooms: their plush animal heads, ranging from wild animals and sea creatures to flamingos and dinosaurs, have conquered the walls of many a nursery since 2014. Based in Roeselare, the brand says it best themselves: bringing softness, joy, and imagination into every child's world. Each piece is designed in Belgium and handmade in Indonesia with the finest materials and lots of love, meaning no two pieces are exactly the same.
A trophy that makes no one sad
A real hunting trophy on a child's wall is a horrifying thought. A plush animal head from Wild & Soft does the exact opposite: it looks into the room with wide eyes and even has a name. A fun detail: the brand's founder named each head after someone from their own circle of friends and family, so you'll be hanging Alfred the moose, Ruby the giraffe, or Basile the polar bear on the wall. They look great above a crib, a changing table, or a desk, and they also make a baby gift that stays relevant long after the baby gear has been packed away. The fact that the brand uses recycled materials and has the larger pieces tested for up to eighty kilos only makes it easier to choose one.
Capes, bouncing animals, and stick horses
The collection gets wilder every season. The soft animal capes are always a hit during carnival and at many a birthday party: a child puts one on and becomes a lion, a fox, or a Highland cow, and after playtime, the cape is simply placed on the floor as a rug. Children can bounce and wiggle in the living room on the Soft Bouncies, and with the Stick & Soft stick horses, a child can gallop through the garden without a real horse in sight.
You will also find bean bags for lounging with a book, soft backpacks for school or daycare, scooter heads that turn an ordinary scooter into an animal, and the small plush toys from Soft Friends, just the right size for a child's hand. Each one is a gift you can order in just a few clicks that is sure to be a success all year round.
