Baby Clothes Shops Near Dundee

Shopping for your newborn is one of the loveliest parts of preparing for a new baby. You will no doubt receive plenty of gorgeous gifts but there is something very special about choosing pieces yourself. Wandering around a baby shop is a lovely thing to do, whether on your own or with your partner, mum or friends. It is also, if you are feeling strategic about it, a rather good way to point out the things you love in case anyone is looking for gift ideas.

Have you thought about asking your partner to choose the outfit your baby will come home from hospital in? It is a beautiful way to include them in those early preparations and makes for a really meaningful memory.

So many of the wonderful independent baby shops have disappeared from our high streets in recent years. Shopping online is convenient but there is real value in visiting a proper shop where you can feel the quality of what you are buying and support local businesses at the same time.

Smarty Pants, Broughty Ferry

My favourite baby clothes shop near Dundee is Smarty Pants at 257 Brook Street in Broughty Ferry. When I first moved to Monifieth I fell in love with it immediately. It has been a firm favourite with stylish local families since 1990 and is everything a good independent boutique should be, knowledgeable helpful staff, room for a pram and a beautifully curated selection of brands including Mayoral, Frugi and Satila. Satila have been making the most gorgeous pom pom baby hats for years and all of my own babies loved them. Smarty Pants also stock a small range of baby toys and offer gift vouchers.

The Nappy Pin, Broughty Ferry

If you are visiting Broughty Ferry, The Nappy Pin on Grey Street is also worth a look. It has a small selection of more traditional baby clothing alongside a great range of prams, buggies, cots and high chairs.

High Street and Retail Park Options in Dundee

Shopping for a newborn is usually a balance between something special for occasions and practical well priced pieces for everyday. In Dundee you will find H&M and Boots in the Overgate and Next, TK Maxx, Matalan and M&S at Gallagher Retail Park, all stocking baby clothes from newborn upwards. Boots is particularly worth knowing about if you have a premature baby as they usually stock a range designed for smaller babies.

All the major supermarkets have their own baby ranges too, usually stocked in the larger branches. George at Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons are all worth a look for everyday basics.

The White Company, Aberdeen and St Andrews

The White Company in Union Square Aberdeen and on Market Street in St Andrews are both worth a trip when you want something extra special. They have been making beautifully designed, impeccably styled clothing for babies for 30 years, crafted from the finest materials and with a timeless quality that means pieces last well and look beautiful in photographs. An affordable touch of luxury for your new little person.

JoJo Maman Bebe, Perth

I am a real fan of JoJo Maman Bebe. They have a wonderful range of well priced clothes that are genuinely good quality and they stock so much more than just clothing, from baby blankets and bottles to night lights and everything maternity. Their branch on the High Street in Perth is well worth a visit.

What to Wear for Your Photoshoot at Mabel & Møøse

When it comes to your baby's photoshoot you do not need to buy anything special. To create my signature Scandi style the baby clothes I use are mostly white, which is not the most practical colour for everyday wear, which is exactly why everything is provided at the studio. I have beautiful outfits for babies of all ages and for little siblings up to 4 years old. You simply arrive and I take care of the rest.

I adore searching out and buying the perfect clothes for baby photography. There is no need to buy a special outfit when you are having your little one photographed at Mabel & Møøse. To get my signature Scandi-style look, most of the baby clothes are white. Not the most practical colour to use everyday, which is why everything is provided for your baby to wear. I have beautiful outfits for all ages of baby and little siblings up to 4 years old

If you would love calm, timeless photographs of your baby I would love to hear from you.
