Dress little ones in snuggly softness with Sweaters by Lee. The New York-based founder and creative knitter, Lee Ann Flower, handmakes every sweater in her collection, and with an array of colors and styles to fit any reason or season (think snowflakes, a love letter, football, frosted cupcake, fluffy-tailed bunny and more), any fully machine washable choice is an easy add to toddler wardrobes. Perhaps more impressive is that Flower will be donating 100% of her profits to the American Red Cross from now until she retires, or as she puts it, her hands can’t knit anymore. Talk about sharing the love!

Set on a band of woven Italian nylon, the centerpiece is made from solid sterling silver with one side featuring an oxidized heart (or star) and the reverse showcasing a genuine topaz stone.
