These extra-cute little creatures speak for themselves! They are called Woollyhoodwinks (long, but entirely adorable), and they are handmade in the home if their loving creator Jeff Root. Each one is unique and special, comes packaged in his or her very own "tree" filled with cool surprises, and if you don't want to hug one, there's something wrong with you!
From Queen Bee's designer Rebecca Pearcy, Chickpea is born ~ the merging of form and function to create this super cool line of essentials for style-minded parents and kids. Have you searched high and low for a diaper bag both parents are proud to carry? Look no further; Chickpea has over 50 (yes, I said 50) to choose from! Available in a tote or messenger, each bag is hand made from animal-friendly, waterproof vinyl, and loaded with pockets to satisfy your inner organizer. Take a look at the fabulous wearables~ your hip little girl or guy is sure to turn heads while donned in a Chickpea tee or onesie designed by artist Tae Won Yu. And what a treat: the adorable Chocolate Giraffe shirt is printed on deliciously soft organic cotton. Unique hand made goods always make the best gift for yourself or someone special, and you're sure to find something fresh at Chickpea.
Delicious designs and uncompromising quality abounds - don't believe me? Check out Quilt Baby's enticing array of handmade modern goods. From apparel and toys to bedding and decor, Quilt Baby has it all (at uncommonly low prices, might I add). All clothing and accessories are made with busy parents in mind. They are all machine washable and dryer safe- practical, while still managing to avoid the sacrifice of style. I particularly love the simply designed, ultra modern felt mobile, available in some great color choices. Check out the Quilt Baby Shop to see all the fantastic things in store for the cutting-edge kid in your life. At these prices, you can load your cart. Affordable and hip! Who knew?
Ok, so my girlfriend directed me to the website of Lori Joy Smith, and the smile on my face could not be any bigger. How have I not seen this before?? Better late than never, I guess.
Lori is primarily an illustrator of children's books and greeting cards, but in visiting her website, you'll see a charming variety of paintings, fabric art and more. Her work is endearingly atypical; definitely cute, but in no way ordinary. Check out Lori's super fun website - in addition to seeing all her amazing work, you can get wallpapers, send e-cards, and most importantly, buy originals in the "little store". I can't think of a better gift than one of these brilliant pieces! Lori even does custom work, made especially for your child.
I don't know about you, but my heart is full, thanks especially to the little Orange Bird.
Though simple and utterly functional, Deadly Squire's designs are anything but ordinary. Designed by artists Anna and Tim Harrington, all of the products are available in a delightful array of their very own fabrics. In addition to the bib and changing pad, there are many other offerings that would lend greatly to the fashion forward mom and pop. Avert outright tradition and knock 'em dead.
I am freaking out over Sarah Lanzilotta and her crazy cute dolls. They are all hand made by her, and no two are the same. Her amazing creativity is manifested in a variety of creepily charming creatures. I am in love! Go buy a gift or start a collection of your own ~ Devout Dolls are to die for!
