BABY & TODDLER

 

GIVEAWAY ALERT: PRIZES UP FOR GRABS! SEE BOTTOM OF POST!

 

Pediped Footwear

Pediped Footwear – ‘the next best thing to bare feet” – allows childrens’ feet to develop naturally and provide optimal support and protection during the developmental stages of babies feet – from initial crawl to the first steps and beyond.  Featured is “Isabella”, a red patent leather Mary Jane style.  These would be perfect for that little princess on your list and would look great paired with a holiday dress!

 

BUY IT: Isabella by Pediped – $32; other styles available (boys, too!).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Panda

Happy Panda offers chic and adorable boutique clothing for the littlest on your list. Their tag-line is “clothes for the bigger baby” as their products run much truer to size than the typical infant / toddler wear.  Our guy is a “light-weight” so the sizing was never an issue with us, but I know many who have to completely disregard the age oriented sizing as it doesn’t apply at all!  Happy Panda is made in the U.S. from start to finish, is a great quality, comfy, and is tagless to prevent that back of the neck irritability. We have the toddler tees & love them! Happy Panda = high quality boutique infant & toddler clothing at reasonable prices.

 

BUY IT: 3 pc gift set ($40), Onesie, back shown ($20), Mommy (Daddy) Rules My World & Fierce Toddler Tees ($16 ea.) Many designs & other items available.

 

 

 

 

 

Oopsy Daisy!

Oopsy Daisy’s Junior Jetsetter Rinse On The Go Gift Set is perfect for all moms of little ones.  High Chair Hair Care: all natural, no water needed foam cleans hair messes (food, etc) quickly and without water!  No Bubble Bath Rinse Free Body Wash is perfect for washing hands or other body parts when you cannot get to a water source. The Junior Jetsetter Rinse On The Go Gift Set includes High Chair Hair Care (4.3 oz), No Bubble Bath Rinse Free Body Wash (4.3 oz), and soft micro fiber towel packaged in a vinyl carrying case.

 

BUY IT: Junior Jetsetter Rinse On The Go Gift Set – $22

 

 

 

 

Stride-Rite Shoes

The “Foal” in Brown/Coffee from Stride-Rite would be a great gift for the little boy on your list.  Check out these features: Soft and supple leather upper, Natural Motion System® (NMS) technology, Oversized opening and slide-in back tab for easy-on and easy-off, Deep flex grooves for maximum flexibility, Natural leather linings for comfort and breathability, Smooth outsole to upper transition, Eco-friendly materials include recycled, rubber outsole, natural stitching, and water-based inks for details and logo.  Comfort + Style = Perfect! J

 

BUY IT: Foal by Stride-Rite – $42; other styles (girls, too) available.

 

 

 

 

 

Bibs By Kushie

Kushies has array of eco-friendly, fabulous and funky super-chic baby bibs along with a new rib neck bib collection.   The environmentally friendly waterproof bibs are lead, phthalate, PVC and BPA free.  The bibs feature hook and loop fastening and are re-usable by easily rinsing and hanging to dry. The lightweight fabric is easy both on baby and the environment too.

 

I personally love the easily washable material, the great designs, the pouch on the front to catch the spills & dribbles, all the different sizes, and did I mention the very chic designs? We have a bright yellow with animal print in newborn; a pink with flowers, dots and swirls in infant (much larger than newborn); and an orange bib with sleeves with zoo animals in the toddler size.  There are numerous other options available as well. These are great stocking stuffers for the little ones!

 

BUY IT: Kushies Bibs – 3.50 – 12.50

 

 

 

 

 

Mutsy Grow Up Booster

This flexible seat reducer with base allows your baby to sit comfortably on the average grown-up chair. A clever harness makes sure your child can be fastened safely. This bright and modern looking seat is suitable for children up to 4 years of age.  Ours is “apple” a bright, fun green & we love it.  I especially like the soft cushioned seat, think firm foam instead of the hard plastic typical of other booster seats.

 

BUY IT: Mutsy Grow-Up Booster - $47-$60

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love Onesie

The chic, sparkly Love Onesie from Too Hot Tot Bling is simply adorable!  Totally unique, these Onesies are custom made with the finest bling available.  Too Hot Tot Bling Onesies are the  perfect gift for the new baby. Presented in a beautiful organza drawstring bag – Too Hot Tot Bling Onesies are available in short sleeves and long sleeves. Many more designs are available and can be custom made to your specifications! 

 

BUY IT: Love Onesie – $30 (short-sleeve) & $40 (long-sleeve); other designs & fully custom onesies are available.

 

 

 

 

 

Dapper Snappers

Dapper Snappers will fix those droopy drawers in a snap!  It’s not very often you find a pair of pants that fits your thinner child around the waist. All to often, the length of the pants is perfect and the waist is just too big which causes Droopy Drawers. Until recently the choices were limited to a cumbersome belt that made diaper changing and potty training nearly impossible or adjustable waistband pants that cost twice as much as regular pants. With as fast as kids grow, who could afford it? Now, with Dapper Snappers, keeping those droopy drawers up is a snap! 

 

BUY IT: Dapper Snappers – $9

 

 

 

 

 

 

Orange Chicken Tee

The Orange Chicken Tee is part of the Charming Chinese line from Global Goodie. It comes packaged in a Chinese takeout box.  The goal at Global Goodie is to help little ones understand and embrace all cuisines of the world through our clothing line of t-shirts and onesies just for kids. Their funny shirts feature original designs that you won’t find anywhere but there! They like to think that their tees and onesies are just as special as the cuisines they represent– and the kids that wear them!

 

BUY IT: Orange Chicken Tee – $15; other styles available

 

 

 

 

 

Up Puppy Onesie

Inspired by people’s love for their animals, adventure and giving, Spiritual Whimsy introduces an exciting new tee shirt and tank top line featuring Sedona, the Dog, and Oliver, the Cat, in fun, human-like poses and activities. Each image is sure to put a smile on your face and warm your heart.

Crabby Cakes Tee

Cute lil grumpy face!!  The Crabby Cakes tee is part of the Save Our Sushi line from Bored Inc.  Bored Inc. is a mother & daughter design team
based out of Los Angeles. Their goal is to create products that make
your everyday life a little but cuter!  Pictures is the onesie, though it is also available in a tee.  {We have the tee and love it!}

“Tuddle” Tee {Translation: Turtle}

Temporary Language offers customizable tees for the little one on your list.  Choose a graphic, then fill out a little form letting them know the spelling of the word as the child pronounces it, as well as the actual word. Their name and age could also be added, especially if the tee will be kept as a keepsake.  Temporary Language sent us a “Tuddle” long sleeve tee, with a graphic of a turtle and the translation of turtle. It’s great & is made of excellent (and comfortable) fabric.

 

BUY IT: Temporary Language Tees – Short-sleeve $30, Long-sleeve $34

 

 

  

 

 

Baby Banz

Baby Banz were originally designed in Australia for one of the world’s toughest UV environments. Clinically tested by one of the world’s leading authorities on sunglasses, Baby Banz have passed the most stringent standards on sunglasses in the world. Features: Lenses 100% UVA/ UVB protection, Category 3 lenses offer high sunglare reduction and good UV protection, Durable polycarbonate Ophthalmic quality, Capable of being replaced with prescription lenses, Neoprene elastic strap matches chosen color of sunglasses and allows for flexibility, breathability, and comfort, Side adjustable Velcro® allows for years of wear as the child grows, Frame is made of shatter-resistant polycarbonate, Sporty, sleek design.

 

We have these and as many reasons as I have to love them, the best part is that my toddler loves them. I didn’t think he’d be too crazy about the glasses & band on his face / head, but we had to distract him so I could put them away!  They are great!

 

BUY IT: Baby Banz – $15

We have “M is for Mother Goose” in orange with blue print as well as blue on the collar & edge of sleeves. The tee is tagless, very comfy and is a great quality. I loved looking through their selection!
