    Luxury Baby & Toddler Gift Boxes

    Heirloom clothing for ages 1 to 5 · Keepsake box and storybook in every order

    Last updated: 5 October 2026By Sameen Rizvi, founder

    A Petite Loom gift is a complete luxury baby and toddler gift box: an heirloom garment for ages 1 to 5, an illustrated storybook, and a keepsake box the child keeps long after the clothes are outgrown. Every order arrives this way at no additional charge. Mark it as a gift and the receipt shows no prices.

    Three things, in every order.

    Made to be handed down.

    An heirloom piece for ages 1 to 5 — mostly cotton, cut in silhouettes that don't date, with a hand-smocked bodice on the smocked styles. Built to be worn, washed, and passed to the next child.

    The box outlasts the outfit.

    Hand-illustrated and sturdy, made to be kept rather than recycled. Most end up in the child's room holding buttons, notes and small treasures.

    At checkout

    No prices. Just the gift.

    In the cart, switch on This Is a Gift. Petite Loom's exact promise, as it appears at checkout:

    A gift receipt without prices will be included in the package.

    Nothing else changes — same box, same storybook, same delivery. You are not paying for gift packaging, because gift packaging is how everything ships.

    Write the card yourself.

    Add a gift card at checkout and six lines open up — the occasion, who it's for, a greeting, two lines of your own, and your name. The card renders as you type, so you see it before you order. It's printed and tucked into the box. There is no charge and no upgrade tier.

    The lines are short on purpose. The card is printed and the layout is fixed — the brevity is what keeps it a card rather than a note.

    Size 1Y fits from 12 months, so it's worn by the first birthday.

    It's also bought for portrait sessions — photographers ask for exactly this, no logos and no trends — for first days of preschool, and by grandparents, who tend to want the gift that gets kept rather than outgrown and forgotten.

    Made to last

    Why an heirloom piece makes a different kind of gift

    Most baby gifts are outgrown in a season and quietly donated. An heirloom piece gets stored and passed to a sibling. The box stays in the room. The storybook gets read again. The difference isn't the first day — it's what's left six months later.

    What it costs

    Petite Loom pieces run $50 to $120. For context, heirloom childrenswear on the US market sits roughly between $50 and $300 — so this is the lower-to-middle part of that band, with the box and the storybook already included rather than sold as an add-on.

    Free US shipping over $100. Below that it's $10, and express is $20. International and Pakistan orders ship free over $200, and $20 below that.

    Who makes it

    Petite Loom is designed in Chicago by founder Sameen Rizvi and produced by a vetted manufacturing partner holding ISO and BSCI certification. European design traditions — smocking, fine embroidery, broderie anglaise — are the reference point for the aesthetic; the pieces themselves are made in China.

    Ten percent of profit is committed to children's causes. The partner organisation is being finalised and will be named here once confirmed.

    Gift questions, answered

    Does every Petite Loom order arrive gift-ready?
    Yes. Every order is packaged as though it is a gift, whether it is one or not. There is no additional charge for this.
    Do you make gifts for newborns and babies?
    Our smallest size is 1Y, which fits 12 to 24 months. For a newborn or a baby shower, buy 1Y — it is usually worn around the first birthday, which is also when it is most photographed.
    Will the recipient see the price?
    Switch on "This Is a Gift" in the cart and a gift receipt without prices will be included in the package.
    Is the gift card really complimentary?
    Yes. There is no charge to add a personalised gift card, and no upgrade tier.
    How long can the gift message be?
    Six fields: occasion (20 characters), recipient's name (30), greeting (40), two message lines (40 each), and your name (30). The card previews live as you type.
    What's in the keepsake box besides the clothing?
    An illustrated storybook — Volume I of The Petite Chronicles — and the box itself, which is made to be kept rather than recycled.
    What ages do you make for?
    Ages 1 to 5. See the size guide for measurements in inches.
    How much do your gifts cost?
    Most pieces are $50 to $120. US shipping is free over $100, $10 below that, and $20 for express. International and Pakistan orders ship free over $200, and $20 below that.
    How quickly will it arrive?
    Orders are processed within 1–2 business days. US standard shipping takes a further 3–4 business days and express 1–2. International orders take 6–12 business days, and Pakistan 10–14, varying by destination. Customs duties and import taxes may apply on arrival and are not included in the order total.
    What if it doesn't fit?
    Returns are accepted within 14 days.
