Pass Me the Half Pint

Heather Kuldell — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 19:27:00 GMT

Admittedly, we suggest lots of things for moms and kids, so here’s something for the dads. Twisted Twee created this Pint and a Half gift set of two t-shirts: one for dad that reads “pint” and one for chip off the block that reads “half pint.” The shirts are available in a variety of coordinating colors, and you can select the sizes separately (Dads M-XL, Babies from O-6 months up to 3-4 years). The set is British, if you couldn’t guess, so the £39.95 converts to about $59.

The boxed set also includes socks in a yellow, pink violet, green and blue hue.

The Babble Review: Sloppy Baby Is Quite Neat

editors — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 18:03:00 GMT

When shower present shopping one often goes for the baby blanket because, well, blankets are soft and cute. It’s a no-brainer for even the shower illiterate. Sloppy Baby is the new kid on the baby blanket block and we got to check out their take on the classic.

Sloppy Baby’s one size fits all fleece-lined bibs and burp cloths have been around for a little while, and now have a friend to hang out with (they name their designs after their favorite kiddos). I have to say I played favorites with Finley. You get the cuteness of the sock monkey in this unisex design combined with a patch work of soft fabrics the baby will appreciate on their smooth, delicate skin. Pick up a blankie on its own, or pair it with the bib and burp cloth and you will go from being the baby gift zero, to a baby gift hero. – April Peveteaux

Get the set at Sloppy Baby for $68.

Wild About Bibs

This gorgeous hand-made baby bib might make you drool. (I personally go ga-ga for all things animal print!) Featuring "Minky" ultra-soft fabric on both sides, these adorable bibs come in a variety of wonderful patterns and color combinations. Zebra, giraffe and argyle, just to name a few. $16

Royal Beginning is also known for its unique baby changing handbag. From across the room, it just looks like a trendy purse. In reality, it's a versatile changing station for babies and moms on the move. Check it out!

Mommas and Kids Agree: Lush Bath Bombs Rule

Heather Kuldell — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 21:04:00 GMT

OK, just this momma and her kid agree, but bath time has become exponentially better with Lush bath bombs. Drop one in a full tub, and like an Alka Seltzer, the water fizzes up and oh what a relief it is.

I originally picked some bath bombs up to unwind me, but after seeing me drop one into the tub, my son demanded to try one out. I figured I’d set a good example by sharing as the company makes cosmetics and bath products with organic fruits and veggies, essential oils, animal-free ingredients, and “safe synthetics.”

The “Anything But Ordinary” gift set ($38.95) features some of the better, bigger bombs, including Avobath (lemongrass and avocado), Supernova (orange and cognac), Big Blue (sea salt, lemon and lavender), Haagenbath (mint and cocoa), Honey Bee (honey, Rhassoul mud and aloe vera), and Sex Bomb (jasmine and rose). Besides the fizzing, each bombs releases skin softeners and intense scents. Some do a little more, like Big Blue and Sex Bomb, which turn the bath water — but not tubs or people — blue and pink, respectively. Others, such as Supernova, release paper confetti.

Six Bunnies’ Pink Skully Jar Gift Set for Baby Grrls

Heather Kuldell — Tue, 20 May 2008 14:35:00 GMT

Somehow my friends seem to keep making boys, which is a shame since Six Bunnies makes an adorable gift set for little girls.

I know some folks might be over skulls on kids’ clothes – I’m not one of them, so the Pink Skully Jar Gift Set calls to me. It includes a beanie, a bib, a t-shirt and a onesie covered in skulls, crossbones and stars. And yup, it’s packaged in a jar and while I have no immediate suggestions for the jar, I think expecting parents could find it handy somehow.

Available at Urban Baby Runway for $40. And if no one steps up on the girl front, it comes in black, too.

Bunnies for Those Buns In the Oven

SunnyChanel — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 17:17:00 GMT

There must be something in the water. Anywhere I go, I can throw a rock and hit a pregnant lady. Okay, maybe I shouldn’t be hurling hard objects at expectant mothers. That’s not only uncalled for and dangerous but just plain rude.

But seriously, everywhere I go, there are women with a bun in the oven; at my neighborhood playdates, at the gym, at my local dive bar. Everywhere. And when I see these bulging bellies, I don’t think of the glorious gift of life but rather what I’m going to give at all the upcoming baby showers. I always try to avoid is anything too cutesy, no Winnie and Precious Moments gift sets from me. No way, Jose. But I love those easy and presentable pre packaged baby gift sets. Enter the Chaos Bunnies Gift Set from Six Bunnies ($48 available in blue and pink and in various different incarnations). The boxed set includes a cotton onesie, tee with matching pants, booties, a bid and 2 washclothes. It’s punky, pink and oh so givable.
