If it’s a boy: Kate's new baby will enjoy frolicking around Kensington Palace in Burberry's cashmere playsuit.
If it’s a girl: With Duchess Kate considered one of the best-dressed women in the world, Britain's tiniest princess's fashion will be watched with equal fervor. This pink bodysuit is feminine and light, and comes with an eye-catching Peter Pan collar.
For Kate: This Aspinal on London bag is a chic take on a classic tote, plus it features a charging station for mummy's phone or Prince George's latest tech toy.

For the baby: Life’s just more fun when you are a fashionable little one. Gucci’s “It” horsebit detail shoe in light yellow for either a girl or boy should be purchased now—before they sell out, of course!
For Kate: It’s not clear whether or not the Brits (or royals for that matter) drink their coffee brewed cold, but I know that most moms rely heavily on caffeine. Wandering Bear Cold Brew delivers the best cold brew coffee I have ever had straight to your door in an eco-friendly box. Benefits of cold brew? Never having to worry about it turning lukewarm between diaper changes!

For the baby: Only the best hairbrush will do for the royal babe.
For Kate: I’d treat Kate to a day at the Margaret Dabbs Sole Spa at Liberty London, the ultimate indulgence for tired feet and busy moms. Because she really could use a day off—and some post-pedicure retail therapy.

If it’s a girl: When she's not wearing a tiara, the royal baby will look adorable in a monogrammed Beaufort bonnet.
If it’s a boy: Pixie Lily's heirloom quality layette line features embroidered bubbles that are the perfect gift for the little prince.
For Kate: A Cartier watch is exactly what mom needs to help keep track of those late-night feedings.

For the baby: One of Vogue.com's editors gave me a lovely dark gray pair of Freshly Picked moccasins. While the line already offers a navy pair named after Prince George, I think the Born in the USA pair would be a perfect gift for the royal girl or boy.
For Kate: The same stylish Vogue.com editor who introduced me to Freshly Picked also told me about Loquet London: I can't think of a better push present, and I hope Prince William (and my husband!) take note!

If it’s a girl: That she'll drink tea is a given; that she and her dolls will do so out of a personalized blue-and-white ceramic tea set is a perk.
If it’s a boy: A first edition of Winnie–the–Pooh, that beloved, honey-hungry British bear.
For Kate: Nothing, of course, is more charming than a newborn, but when baby is sleeping, mama Kate might be amused by this Art Deco charm cuff, complete with a bundle-carrying stork.

If it’s a boy: This adorable seersucker overall; perfect for the upcoming summer months.
If it’s a girl: I love a chic bloomer for a baby girl and don’t think you could ever have too many—and maybe a plush toy to go with it!
For Kate: Traditional afternoon tea delivery from Claridge’s; who doesn’t like a treat in the afternoon?
