The new and modern Moses basket is made and assembled by hand in the UK, and is made to order.  It has an award winning European design and has patents pending.

So why break away from something that works?  Well, the design is much sturdier than a wicker basket, and it is much more hygienic as there’s nowhere for trapped dust and skin or wet nappies to leak into. It has an easy wipe clean surface.

The Shnuggle Moses Basket is a bit larger than the average, standard Moses baskets, so you should also get longer use from it.

Shnuggle Moses Baskets cost £69.99, so £62.99 with the discount. You’ll also be able to buy additional blankets with the code too, but the Shnuggle comes with 100% cotton lining, deep an comfy lining, a stay-up hood and matching coverlet. It does not, however, come with a stand. That will cost you an additional £19.99 or £17.99 for you.

Delivery charges on Moses Baskets are normally £8, so this is a handy saving. On comparing the prices of their Moses baskets to other online retailers such as Mothercare and Kiddicare, the costs seem fairly competitive. For example, this Springtime maize moses basket and stand can be bought for £45. I was having a conversation with my friend recently, who said she bought her Moses basket on ebay at a reduced cost. However, as I am having my first baby, I really want everything to be brand new - I am sucked in by the consumerism!

I still need to buy some baby bedding, but I am not sure exactly what, or how much, I will need. I guess you can never really have enough blankets. Would you agree?

I was having a look through the gifts, and this Izziwotnot zimba trike is really cute - it's only £29.99!

Ohhhh one of the most enjoyable pregnancy musings for me was over moses baskets!

• Click HERE to muse over this Mamu moses basket

It was never a question of whether or not to have a moses basket as that's always been a given - they are the ultimate in portable sleeping as far as I'm concerned: baby in the bedroom next to you - easy, baby sleeping in his, or her, own room - easy, baby sleeping downstairs so you can keep an eye on them as you get on with other things - easy, weekends away - easy!

No, no, the question was WHICH moses basket to have!  Although that was always a given too really, it was Mamas & Papas all the way for me; pricey sometimes but their design and build quality are to die for.

So I think this 'Mamu' Mamas & Papas moses basket is an absolute steal at just £28!  It's elegant, simple and neutral so if you're keeping yourself, and everyone else, in suspense as to the gender of your new arrival this basket will be fine regardless of whether you have a boy or a girl.

It doesn't come with a stand but that's because there are so many stands to choose from - white ones, pine ones, folding ones and rocking ones and rather than impose thier choice on you M&P have left that decision to you.

Standard delivery applies or you can collect for free in store.
