NYC Baby Gifts — The City in Every Stitch
You don't have to live in New York to love it, or to give it. Estella's NYC baby gifts turn the city's icons into things a baby can hold: hand-knit taxi, bagel, pretzel and pigeon rattles, organic cotton bodysuits and rompers printed with New York's greatest hits, and gift sets for every budget. They're made for the aunt in Chicago, the grandparents in Florida, the friend who just moved away, and the New Yorker welcoming a new neighbor.
Designed in NYC since 2003. Handmade by artisans in Peru and India. 1,800+ five-star reviews from 55,000+ families. Never on Amazon. As seen in Vogue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's a good NYC baby gift for someone who doesn't live in New York?
Most of our NYC gifts go to babies outside the city. A taxi rattle, the NYC ABCs Gift Set or the NYC Romper & Rattle Set says "New York" without assuming anyone lives there, and each ships anywhere in the U.S.
Where are Estella's NYC baby gifts made?
Everything is designed in New York City. Knit toys and knit clothing are handknit by artisans in Peru; cut-and-sew clothing like bodysuits and rompers is made in India from organic cotton. Board books and a few accessories come from partner brands and are named on each product page.
What are the rattles and plush toys made of?
An organic cotton exterior, hand-knit in Peru, with a soft polyester fill. Our rattles are winners of the Mom's Choice Award and the National Parenting Seal of Approval.
What size should I buy for a baby shower gift?
For a baby who hasn't arrived yet, 3–6 months gives the family time to use it. For a first birthday, choose 12–18 months.
How fast do orders ship, and can I gift-box them?
Orders ship within 1–2 business days, with free shipping on orders over $75. Gift boxing is $8, complimentary on orders over $175.
Can I buy Estella on Amazon?
