An Expensive Baby Gift: Hermes Baby Spoon and Fork

My one request would be to attend a shower where one of these sets may even possibly be given as a gift. I imagine it would be professionally planned and probably deserve a spot on a reality show. Hermes does not produce a huge amount of baby items, just the basics: hats, mittens, blankets, and various gifts, including this spoon and fork set. Made of sterling silver, each piece has the signature rocking horse carved into the bottom. How much? How about $510.00. Absolutely mind-boggling. 

Hermes Plush Horse?

I love stuffed animals. Always have. Every year for Christmas, my brothers and I would get a new stuffed animal from Santa. They always were wrapped in some kind of fancy plastic bag, different from all of our other presents. For whatever reason, the stuffed animal was always my favorite present and the one I most looked forward to. I still remember the first year that I didn't have one in my pile of presents because I was "too old." Slightly devastating. ANYWAY, this horse is made by Hermes, and it's cute. It's not extraordinarily large; she stands 15" tall. There is nothing out of this world about her, except her price tag. $520.00. Found at hermes.com.

Hermes Baby Mittens

Hmm... it seems as though legendary French designer Hermes has added quite a few baby items to their collection since I last checked up on them. Aside from pricey sterling silver gift-type-things, Hermes now has mittens and hats. These mittens come in two other colors and are 100% jersey knitted medium cashmere, embroidered with the rocking horse, of course. How much will they set you back you ask? How about $195.00. See for yourself at hermes.com.

Guess the Price: Hermes Baby Blanket

Legendary French designer Hermes is not exactly known for baby items. There really are only a handful. But what they lack in quantity they certainly make up for in price. This wool and cashmere blanket, measuring 40" by 56," will set you back a whopping $680.00. Would the owner have to be constantly boasting that the H's stand for Hermes? I for one would never guess otherwise. For the millions of people interested in purchasing this blanket for the very reasonable price, it can be found here.
