When a new life begins, the world changes for expectant parents, grandparents, godparents and everyone who welcomes this little miracle. Pregnancy and birth are moments full of anticipation, love and special moments. With the first movement in the womb, the first cry in the delivery room and the first shared home, a journey begins that is characterised by closeness, security and trust. Loving companions play a very special role, especially in this sensitive early period. They provide comfort, convey security and often become keepsakes for life. This is exactly where our baby line My first NICI comes in: with our new baby product My first Friend, which accompanies babies from the very beginning and makes families' hearts beat faster.

Bear Finni and rabbit Lopino are the two enchanting characters in this new collection. With their gentle design, harmonious colours and loving details, they are specially designed to meet the needs of the little ones. As 20 cm tall cuddly toys, Finni and Lopino are wonderfully easy to handle for little baby hands. Their soft materials invite you to grab, feel and cuddle them. Finni, the little bear, captivates with his calm, warm grey tone and his particularly gentle expression. He radiates security and will quickly become a loyal protector in the cot or pram. Lopino, the cute rabbit with long floppy ears, delights with his loving gaze and delicate colour accents. His long ears are not only a visual highlight, but also offer babies exciting opportunities for grasping and tactile stimulation. Both cuddly toys are even available in a high-quality gift box, making them perfect as a gift for a birth, christening or from grandparents and godparents who want to give something really special.

In addition to the classic cuddly toys, Finni and Lopino are also available as lovingly designed comforters – indispensable comforters in the first months of life. The comfort blanket from Lopino the rabbit bears the delicate embroidery ‘Little Sunshine’, emphasising the joy that a baby brings to every family. Soft fabrics, harmonious colours and carefully crafted details make it a daily companion for falling asleep, travelling or cuddling. The Finni bear comfort blanket features the high-quality embroidery ‘Little Miracle’. Here, too, the different fabric textures provide sensory stimuli that stimulate babies' skin and sense of touch.

Another highlight of the collection are the cuddly music boxes. They combine soothing sounds with a charming design and create a relaxed atmosphere in the nursery. Finni the bear hangs from a sleeping star. When you gently pull on him, Brahms' lullaby plays and gently rocks the baby to sleep. The gentle star symbolises security and tranquillity, while Finni remains protectively at the child's side. Lopino the rabbit, on the other hand, hangs from a sleeping moon. When Lopino is pulled down, Schubert's lullaby plays – a gentle melody that calms babies and helps them fall asleep. The moon represents night, dreams and peaceful transitions into sleep. Both music boxes are not only visually enchanting, but also functionally well thought-out: the mechanisms can be easily removed for cleaning, so that the products can be kept hygienically clean.

Because safety, hygiene and quality are paramount, especially when it comes to baby products. My first NICI products are comforters, daily companions and best friends. This makes it all the more important to care for them properly to ensure longevity and cleanliness. Many of our products are machine washable on a gentle cycle, while we recommend hand washing for some. Music boxes, wooden rings and bells can be removed before washing to maintain functionality. This will ensure that Finni and Lopino last a long time.

Our goal is to enable babies to learn with all their senses. From birth, they attentively follow noises and sounds. Elements such as rattles, bells, or crackling materials support the development of their sense of hearing and stimulate their curiosity. With their thoughtful patterns and colours, our products also promote the sense of sight. Different fabric textures gently stimulate the skin, which can have a positive effect on brain development and the release of growth hormones. From their first kicks and rolls to sitting up and their first attempts at moving around, our products have been accompanying babies through all stages of movement since 2011 and supporting their motor skills.

Absolute safety is a matter of course for us. We work exclusively with selected suppliers, carry out continuous quality controls and consider compliance with legal requirements to be a minimum standard. Our products undergo extensive mechanical, physical and chemical-hygienic testing. We are always aware of our great responsibility towards children and families. In 2024, three of our products were even tested by midwives and parents and awarded a recommendation rate of at least 98% – a sign of trust that makes us particularly proud.

Whether as a loving gift for a new baby, a special present for a christening or a token of affection from grandparents and godparents, with Finni the bear and Lopino the rabbit from the new ‘My first Friend’ collection, you are giving more than just a cuddly toy. You are giving comfort, security and a friend for life. And perhaps one day, this little friend will become a precious memento of the first magical moments of a little miracle.

The six new baby products will be available from March 2026🩷
