editors — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:35:00 GMT

Muno is out - Brobee is in!

Under the category of For Them? No, For You! comes this super giveaway from Yo Gabba Gabba. A lot of us have gone on and on about our love for the quirky, energetic and yes - hip - kid show that has captured the attention of college students and two-year-olds alike. As the Yo Gabba soundtrack hits iTunes the chorus of "Party in my Tummy" will be forever ingrained into our pop culture lexicon. Think ahead to 2024 where our grown toddlers are sporting Brobee tees and playing a "Be Nice To Animals" cover in their indie band.

If you’re ready to show the world your appreciation for the Dancey Dance Bunch you are in luck. Babble is giving away the Kid Robot produced adult ~~Muno hoodie in men’s size XL~~ limited edition Brobee hoodie in men's size L (retails for $150) as a grand super prize. But that's not all! You can also win the Nickelodeon hoodie featuring the whole crew (except DJ Lance – that guy always gets the shaft) in gender-free size L.

Check out the Yo Gabba Gabba soundtrack on iTunes, the gang’s latest adventures on Nick Jr. and send your entry to babblecontest@gmail.com with the subject line Yo Gabba is for Me Too. Grand prize goes to the first person who can tell us where they first heard "Happy Birthday" before The Ting Tings did their thing on Yo Gabba Gabba. Hint – Molly Ringwald was involved. Second prize will be picked at random, US entrants only. Good luck! – April Peveteaux

A Little Spring in a Warm Hoodie

elizabeth leach — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 19:30:00 GMT

This fleece hoodie feels a little like Spring, but can be used as a warm layer since Spring is (alas) still months away. It's the best of both worlds! (And it's on sale!)

Find the Bright Hoodie at the Gap for $19.99. It was $24.50.

Big Deal: $5 Tees At Threadless' Annual Holiday Sale

Aaron Burgess — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 21:00:00 GMT

Sure, you may not be thinking short sleeves as we head into the frigid months, but the loads of $5 tees (including the "It's Just a Summer Job" design shown here) at Threadless Kids' annual holiday sale ought to give you a good reason to stock up now for spring.

Threadless also has kids' hoodies starting at $25, and depending on how much you order (for instance, spend $100 and get $15 off), you could walk away with a pretty sweet discount no matter what your preferred apparel.

When Sharks Attack!

SunnyChanel — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 14:30:00 GMT

There are those kids who are obsessed with all things related to dinosaurs or anything to do with dogs and then there are your shark kids. The children who are both scared and also totally intrigued by our toothy friends of the sea. For them, there is this hoodie.

The Shark Attack Hoodie by Small Paul ($48.95) features an image of flying Ace Julius in his single engine plane on the front and the hood is fringed with a series of pearly whites and has a pair of shark eyes, nostrils and gills. It’s scary enough to keep all predators at bay, yet cute enough to want to give them a great big hug.

Prefresh Yum Zip-up Hoodie For Warmer Winter Climates

Chris Ford — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:29:00 GMT

As the high of 77 degrees today here in the desert southwest illustrates, it's not cold everywhere in the lower 48 yet. I'm still shopping for the perfect winter hoodie for my daughters. This is a cool one I found from Black Wagon - the Prefresh Yum Zip-up Hoodie.

Fresh pink graphics on a white hoodie - and there's not a Small Paul Julius monkey in sight. The Hoodie runs small apparently, so make sure you get one that's a size bigger.

Prefresh Yum Zip-up Hoodie, $36.00 from Black Wagon.com

Etsy Alert: Thar She Blows!

SunnyChanel — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 20:58:00 GMT

Whales are cute. Well, actually I think their size doesn’t so much jive with ‘cute’, perhaps that isn’t the right word for man’s biggest mammal pal. Let’s call them ‘cool’ instead. And speaking of cool, this hoodie with a bright green whale appliqué for infants and kids, will totally put a smile on your and your kids face. Perhaps a grin as wide as the whale itself dons. Smiles all around! $38 here.

The Kimono and the Hoodie Meet at Feather Baby

Erin Behan — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 13:11:00 GMT

Two great baby looks, the kimono and the hoodie, combine for one hot baby top from Feather Baby. The long-sleeved, four-button top is made of pima cotton, and like all Feather Baby clothing is 100 percent organic cotton. As well, no chemicals, harsh inks or bleaches are used, and all the company's products are fair trade. It all adds up to a slightly higher price tag ($36 for the kimono hoodie) that's got a lot of social consciousness.

BeebeeMod: Needle In The Etsy Haystack

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 15:00:00 GMT

Etsy.com can give me a migraine; so much good stuff, so little patience.

So, here comes BeebeeMod to shake up my usual m.o. The Etsy boutique just happened to be one of the very first things I spied when I randomly visited, so I didn't have to go digging for it. They specialize in fusing great, jazzy fabrics to (nauseatingly ubiquitous) American Apparel baby and toddler separates. It's the kind of wearable, simple yet special stuff I'd make myself, if I had the time, talent and supply of lovely fabric scraps.

Sisters Onesie (above), $20.

Banana Split Hoodie, $35.

Vintage Flower Tee, $18.

Squidfire's Aqua Tween Hoodie

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 14:00:00 GMT

Ariel and her cronies aren't the only ones under da' sea (though, sometimes, you're hard-pressed to get little Disney fanatics to acknowledge this). Squidfire has this seahorse hoodie in a color combo girly girls can cosign. A great find for those who choose "marine biologist" when asked "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Random question: Is it me, or is this an oddly common choice in the seven-to-eleven age range? I remember saying it myself back in the day and I just heard a little girl say it at Whole Foods the yesterday. Guess it's better than "reality TV star."

$ 28, Squidfire.

Osaka Fish Hoodie Says "Sayonara" To An Old Fad

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 14:00:00 GMT

Thanks to rapper/producer Pharrell Williams' hip-hop clothing line, Ice Cream, all-over print hoodies were the extremely expensive fashion fad to beat a few seasons ago. He and his Japanese design guru collaborator, Nigo, were responsible for many a grown man seen sporting fleece jackets splashed with garish, neon ice cream sundae ingredients. Your mini can take the trend and turn it down several notches (to the level of actually being tasteful) with this Osaka Fish hoodie. It marries the all-over print theme with a Japanese-inspired design that's less of a visual assault. I spotted last Thursday's NYT spotlight of the new Ice Cream store and it seems those goofball prints are "out" now anyway, so your Osaka-sporting kid would actually be rather of-the-moment.

$40, Modern Kid Stuff.

The Babble Review: BabySoy Organic Baby Clothes

Gwynne Watkins — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 13:35:00 GMT

Working at a baby magazine, I see a lot of great new products. Swank stuff. Silk slings. Quinny strollers. Crazy stuff comes through these doors. I'm not very gear-heady, so I'm usually happy to hand them off to our reviewers and make do with my hand-me-downs. But this Baby Soy stuff I snatched up. My son wore the Kimono Onepiece ($22) until several weeks after he outgrew it. He'll be spending the fall in the Year Round Reversible Hoodie (tea/chocolate; $28). And he sleeps with the Signature Soft Blanket ($18). I'm not even opposed to poly-blend whatever, so it's not like I have anything invested in soybean-protein-fiber ("vegetable cashmere"). These clothes are just so crazy soft. And the extra internal snap on the kimono is pure genius. Plus, it's not ridiculously expensive, so I can make it a baby-shower staple even when it's not in our free-stuff pile. -- Ada Calhoun
