Giving the Perfect Baby Gift

You may not think finding the perfect baby gift wouldn’t be so hard, but often it is.  There are so many choices… the cute layette, the pink outfit, the oh sooo cute booties, hats, bibs, precious keepsakes and security blankets.  Whew!

 Let us help you purchase great baby gifts, both the unique and the practical.

One of our favorite practical baby gifts is the” Baby Briefcase”. With all the paperwork received once the little bundle of joy enters the world this is a must have for parents.  The Baby Briefcase has sections for everything from immunization records to a thank you note card tracker.  This gift will last will into the little one’s school years.  

It’s hard to resist buying the cute outfit.  Baby clothing is easily the funniest thing to buy, but choosing the right outfit can be tough.  Choose simple clothing for newborns.  Onesie’s adorned with ruffles, dresses with matching bloomers, layettes or rompers are all perfect for dressing baby up.

For gifts that are unique and that can be passed down through generations, keepsake items such as wooden music boxes and photo albums are perfect. Want to give money?  Give the wooden piggybank and fill it with coins.  Giving keepsake items is also a great baby gift tradition that you can start.

Blankets, stuffed animals and security blankets are all great for adding charm to the nursery and helping baby feel comfortable in their new surroundings.

Whatever you choose, rest assured your gift will bring lots of smiles.

No MooMoo’s! 3rd Trimester Attire

You’ve reached your 3^rd trimester and suddenly you are no longer able to touch your toes and to make matters worse, you don’t like any of the maternity clothes you’ve worn for the last couple of months.  The key to looking your best over the next 12 weeks (give or take) is to be comfortable yet stylish.  Yes, I said stylish.  Comfort is the key during this time, but we do not want to abandon style now.  Here are some chic way’s to freshen up your maternity wardrobe and get through the final weeks of your pregnancy.

Kimono and Tunic style tops are flattering and will be easy to wear during this time when your belly is reaching its maximum growth potential.  Convertible styles are also big this season - maternity dresses that are also skirts and reversible fabrics.  This is a great item for maximizing your maternity wardrobe budget and adding different looks at the same time.  Maternity bottoms will be important during this time as well.  Under the belly styles will probably not give you the coverage you’ll need, so opt for the over the belly styles.  If you purchased a bella band at the beginning of your pregnancy pull it back out.  The bella band can be worn in your third trimester to help with holding up maternity bottoms that are a little too big and as a longer layer for tops that are short.

If you are faced with attending a wedding or other function that requires you to look your Pregg-O best, opt for styles that have an empire waist or tie (some styles with ties are long enough to wrap around and tie in the front, giving the outfit a whole new look).  These maternity styles will give you definition while draping nicely over your belly.   

With the right choices, style and comfort can be achieved even in your 3^rd trimester.

Oh no, Nothing is fitting!

The inevitable has happened.  You were warned by friends that this day would come and now it has happened - you’ve popped!  Weeks have passed since finding out that you were carrying a bun in the oven and until now you’ve been able to fit into your regular clothing. 

You’re faced with few options on what to do in order to get yourself dressed and out the door without looking frazzled.  To avoid the, oh no, what do I do panic let me suggest something so practical yet stylish… the bella band.  The bella band is worn over your pre pregnancy bottoms and allows you to leave your pants unbuttoned while securely holding them in place.  It’s just that simple.  And the beauty of the bella band doesn’t stop there. Once you’re ready for maternity clothes, the bella band can be worn over your maternity pants for extra support. Most of our customers are even wearing the bella band on the back end as they get back into their pre-pregnancy pants. The bella band is available in black, white and brown and can be discreetly covered by your top or styled to look like a layered shirt.  The bella band is a small investment for the peace of mind you’ll have the day when nothing fits.
