Little Girl Purses


When I saw this cupcake purse, I thought it was just the sweetest thing. It is absolutely so yummy! My own daughter is a pre-teen now, so this is a bit young for her, but this is a treat I would have definitely purchased her when she was was a young tot. I can just envision this delicious purse draped over the arm of a lovely little girl. They are so simple yet they have such character. If your little princess has a favorite color, the cupcake purse can be made to your specifications. If cupcakes and icing aren't your choice, try something a bit more healthy and go with fruit. Pink-Alligator also crochets watermelon and strawberry purses. Each purse features a reinforced bottom so all of the little treasures inside won't sag. They have a draw string closure. The beads are crocheted into the design, so no worries about beads falling off. So, for your next little girl's gift idea, send a pretty little purse their way.

Personalized Sippy Cup


Moms love their monogrammed tumblers, so why not let the little ones have one too. This eye-catching sippy cup comes from Swanky Cups, and it is exactly that... Swanky! Besides promoting sipping in style, this is such a handy gift idea. Every mom has several sippy cups in the cupboard for the little ones, and typically if the kids are on the run, they have to either tape the name to the cup or write it on in permanent marker. Well throw the Sharpie® markers out because this is the way to sass up your sippy cup.... just permanently personalize it from the start. This is a 10 ounce spill-proof and insulated straw cup. Made of high-quality durable plastic. Hand-wash only is recommended, but that would be typical of any tumbler type cup. This makes for a super fun birthday gift or for little ones just starting with a cup.

Monogrammed Burp Cloths


Any mom will tell you that a burp cloth is a necessity with little ones. Whether you are at home with baby or out and about shopping, burp cloths are very handy. Sure, they are great to throw over your shoulder when burping baby, but they can be used for many other reasons....maybe it is a spill that needs to be wiped up, or maybe it is the common baby drool that happens when drinking a bottle. Whatever the reason, a new mom should always have one handy. I always kept two or three in my diaper bag. I stumbled upon some super stylish baby burp cloths at Katelyn's Kreations. They are made from 100% cotton cloth diapers, which makes them soft and cozy. These would make a super baby shower gift idea for a boy or girl. They come in many different styles and can be monogrammed with the baby's initials or name. You know, some babies actually love to cuddle with burp cloths. They are just the right size for little hands. My thinking is this: If you are going to use them, why not make them stylish!

Capes for Kids- Boys and Girls


Kids have the best imaginations. From the time they are tiny tots until they are well into the elementary years, they love to pretend! They can become anyone or anything. Sometimes their play lends itself to accessories or additional clothing pieces. Maybe it is a scarf , a hat, or even some form of jewelry. They may need that special piece to bring that character alive. Thinking back with my own children, one piece stood the test of time.... a cape. One Halloween my own son was Batman. As soon as October 31st passed, you would have thought the cape would have left too. No chance! He would put that black cape on just about every day. He would use it outside while riding his bike. He would wear it while eating dinner. It was the one piece he needed to become that Super ?. I am not sure if it was a Hero or not. But, whatever it was, that cape brought him lots of joy. So, when I found these creative boys and girls' capes at Craftsbury Kids, I had to share. They have a variety to choose from. They are handcrafted and extra durable. They can even be washed. Order one of these imaginative capes today and let your child's creative side come alive.

Sweet Dreams with
Personalized Pillow Cases



Without a doubt, these have got to be some of the cutest pillow cases I have seen. I was drawn to these pillow cases because my daughter has a similar one that she has used for years. Why does she like it so much? I am thinking it must have something to do with the vibrant colors, in addition to it being personalized. Plus, I think kids just like to put their heads down on a pillow case that they can call their own. They like to say things like, "That is MY pillow case." As far as gift giving goes, this wins points in several areas. Not only are they soft, cuddly, and used for sleeping, but they are a perfect accent piece for your child's room decor. There are many styles to choose from, so whether you're shopping for a gymnast, a softball player, or a future farmer, they will have something that meets your need.
