My daughter and her husband want to wait and see " Whooo will it be a he or a she?" and this gender neutral bedding she chose is perfect! She searched high and low for this bedding and everything for her baby shower revolved around the owl theme. She didn't want bumper pads on the crib and none are necessary with the colorful print on the side of the fitted sheet. The blanket is so soft and the wearable blanket/ bunting is adorable. Every other set I saw elsewhere had either bumper pads, heavy quilts or other items that were neither needed or wanted. This set was priced the best of the many Skip Hop sets I found on other sites, and an extra bonus is she will be able to utilize all the pieces. They still have about 8 weeks until the baby is born, but I know this will look adorable in their nursery. Five stars for a GREAT value and super cute crib set.
