Highly Recommended by Whom You Know, kiki moon by Keelin O’Keeffe Wows the Young Around the World and Keeps Ireland On Top with Her Brilliant Colorful Organic Baby Blankets! The Perfect Baby Gift Says Peachy Deegan!

You know you wish this were you on a Sunday afternoon, but you, like Peachy Deegan, were born too early to enjoy kiki moon. 

This is the best baby blanket we have ever seen, and is the ideal gift for the young around the world!

Peachy has ventured through aisles and aisles of products for children at New York Now, previously known as the New York Gift Show, twice a year for the past seven and has never seen baby blankets as brilliant as these. What do we like about kiki moon? The innovative design, the fabulous feel of the organic blankets, exquisitely crafted in Portugal, and the pure genius thought and story behind it by Keelin O'Keeffe, who is clearly Keeping Ireland on Top.  She's the first woman and individual person of either sex with a product line to be featured in the column Keeping Ireland on Top; previously, Belleek is the only brand featured along with Jimmy Neary, who is practically the Mayor of New York or at least 57th Street, and the Irish Oscar winners.  We love color and why would any baby boy just want sky blue instead of perhaps GREEN with AQUA or why would any baby girl  limit herself to boring pastel pink when she could be in Hallak pink with vivid orange combined?  Everyone knows babies love bright colors!  If they could talk, they'd be recommending kiki moon themselves.  Pastels are so last-century, and we love that Keelin is a total trend-setter.  But she is not doing it just to be trendy: she has a genuinely amazing idea and superior product line.

kiki moon is a beautiful boutique baby label specializing in brightly colored organic cotton baby blankets. kiki moon was founded by Keelin O’Keeffe, an Irish mom of two who was inspired to design a new range of baby textile products with an edge. Keelin is the chief product designer at kiki moon & has a passion for bright, beautiful colors.  As Peachy herself was accused of dressing like an Easter egg on more than one occasion by her friends at Miss Porter's, we feel that this color attraction could even be genetic traced back to Irish roots, which Peachy's Grammy says are the best kind to have.  kiki moon blankets are manufactured in Portugal and sold online at kikimoon.ie or kikimoon.co.uk. 

All blankets come gift wrapped in luxurious kiki moon gift boxes, perfect for gifting, and the packaging is among the best we've seen right down to the bow tied perfectly.  They even have a bunny in the picture which makes us love the brand even more!  Of course you will need a stuffed rabbit to go with the blanket.

Linus van Pelt from Snoopy (Peanuts): it is high time you also thought of a blanket change and we believe you'll like one of these styles, all of which are unisex.

Here are the three styles we liked best:

BO

“Bo” baby blanket combines elegance and class using beautiful color combinations for those who enjoy just a dash of zestiness. This 100% organic cotton reversible blanket is super soft and ideal for strollers/prams, playpens/cots, playtime and car journeys. These beautiful baby blankets are lovingly wrapped in contemporary kiki moon boxes, the perfect gift for loved ones or for yourself. Machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius, which translates into 86 degrees Fahrenheit we believe.

Size; 80cm x 100cm

MOKA

Moka is charming striped blue and green baby blanket, with a touch of teal, perfect to wrap around your little boy or girl. For all other Hartford Whalers enthusiasts, of course this has your name all over it!  This 100% organic cotton reversible blanket is super soft and ideal for Sunday afternoon and everyday naps. Every little boy or girl needs one of this color! 

Size; 80cm x 100cm

KIKI

The signature baby blanket, “Kiki” combines hot pinks and snappy oranges to cheekily grab attention. Perfect for little ones who like to stand out! This 100% organic cotton reversible blanket is like being enveloped in the most beautiful cloud ever. We absolutely HEART it!

Size; 75cm x 100cm

Kiki Moon is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know and we look forward to Keelin's ventures going forward!

Last season, Peachy Deegan covered every single NYCFC home game starting at Game 3, and that is how she knows Paul Rejer. 

Here is Paul Rejer featured as a Mover and Shaker:

http://www.whomyouknow.com/2015/12/movers-and-shakers-paul-rejer.html#.V5fPhrgrK00

Paul is the Professional Referee Organization (PRO) Training & Development Manager.

He moved to America from England specifically to do this, and MLS decided that no one in America is as knowledgeable about soccer as Paul, and we concur. So he moved over to help lead Americans into the great sport of football, which Americans call soccer.  

If you think Peachy Deegan is a serious critic, and she absolutely does mean business, you should meet Paul. He critiques the play called by the referees in MLS, and we truly appreciate and admire his attention to detail, which is extremely rare at the level he's at.   We know a lot of people in sports but we never knew anyone who legitimately had as a profession the position of telling the referees how do to their job!  And we are confident that he does it nicely.  We bet you all want his job, but no one does it better.

Paul had trained the referees who called the recent Euro 2016 Championship!

Mover and Shaker Paul Rejer comments:

What a great Summer of Soccer we have seen this year with the Euro’s and Copa America almost running simultaneously. 

As expected, England let me down as always.  For some reason, they are consistent when it comes to qualifying for a tournament, but in a tournament environment, they are awful. In the game against Iceland, every single player was terrible and Iceland deserved to win. I actually felt sorry for the coach Roy Hodgson; he did his best and he is a good coach and a good man. My club team is West Bromwich Albion, and unfortunately is another team that has always let me down.  When Roy was coach, we went from a struggling team to top 10 in the EPL (that's ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE for the daft Americans like Peachy!  She's learning though she has seen many more hockey games). He did a great job and thoroughly deserved the England job. 

One team that didn’t let me down was the English refereeing Crew who performed so well that they officiated the final between Portugal and France. I know these guys very well as I used to work with them in England and now they are fulfilling the potential that I saw in them. Referee Mark Clattenburg to me is now the number one referee in the World. His two ARs Simon Beck and Jake Collin are top class officials and together as a crew, they work very well together and are quite comfortable with each other. This is crucially important for teamwork. 

I could see in that final and all their other performances in the Euros that their decision making was of always accurate and consistent. Clattenburg’s fitness and positioning is incredible; he looks fitter than all of the players! 

I am now fortunate enough to work with the elite referees in the USA and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see one of our guys referee the World Cup Final and in the last World Cup in Brazil, Mark Geiger from New Jersey refereed exceptionally well and I would hope would be a contender. 

If not Mark then maybe the other Mark, either way it would be awesome!
