I added these to my registry on Myregistry.com but ended up unable to help buying them for myself. They are just SO unbelievably cute and the color selection is perfect for matching most baby girl outfits. The "Lucia," "Lucy," and "Pixie" sets of these Trumpette socks also have bows (bigger ones on the Lucia and Lucy's) but I think the colors of this set will be more versatile - there's still a black "mary jane" type sock for any bold-colored outfits and then the rest of the socks in this set are more pastel, which I think will match more things than the bolder Lucia colors. The "Pixie Pastel" also has bows but it features a gray pair instead of black so there truly is no option for a bold outfit, making this set the better choice. Also, "Pixie Pastel" doesn't have a green or a blue sock but instead has just one green-blue, which I imagine would be difficult to match. In its place it does feature two shades of pink but one of them is a sort of peachy color that again, I think would be hard to match.

I also love that these fit 0-12 months and the reviews all say that they stay on feet. In my opinion that makes them a worthy investment for the price, because you could easily spend this much on other socks for various "0-3" "3-6" months type things, and you could definitely spend this much going through socks that just don't stay on feet very well. In general, with my first, I preferred to not have to deal with socks and I mainly kept him in cute footie "pajamas" all day every day. But I think with a girl I'll be more interested in dressing her. Plus, with a girl you get a lot more clothing gifts so you're bound to end up needing socks even if your game plan was to avoid them until an older age.

NOTE: These socks come in both 0-12 months and in 1-2 years. The 0-12 months is the set to get because once kids start walking, they will generally be wearing some sort of shoe. In that case, you'd want a sock with a fancier cuff. There is a Trumpette set with fancy cuffs (the Jitterbugs would show a plain white ruffle regardless of the underlying sock color, and the Ballerina's *might* work - if the bow was high enough to come out over the show). However, the reality is that by that age the focus is on the cute *shoes* not the cute socks, for all but a few Mary-Jane type outfits and in that case the outfits may have their own *really* matching socks.

I think these are the cutest of the Trumpette bunch. The Lucias are also very cute but again, I think the pastels will go with more - especially with the black option to wear with any bold outfits your baby has. And this is the only pastel set with a black pair.

Last, the packaging is SO sweet. Any mom would love receiving these.
