Kaixo!
I refuse to ever order anything from Amazon and was wondering if you have any other links to great Basque items for babies that come from other Basque stores or sites?? Even directly from Spain perhaps?? It would be wonderful to actually support some Basque artists/creators instead of a horrible company like Amazon. Thanks!

Yes, I totally agree. We are currently reaching out to Basque businesses for advertising, but that is a job in and of itself. For now, I post Amazon links because they are easy and all purchases support the website.
