v 2 issue 18: Yummy, Yummy

This delicious issue features yummy gift sets, blankets and clothing. Yum, yum!







yummy clothing

Jakc Designs creates handmade baby goods that are oh so yummy! The owner Jennifer Aimee Kathleen Chee (hence the name Jakc Designs) wanted to make clothes that didn’t have the obvious look of mass production; something that felt hand-crafted and homemade. While these clothes certainly do not look like cookie-cutter tees seen everywhere, we have to disagree and say that the quality is more than fantastic (no handmade stitching apparent here!).


When it comes to sweet tees, it’s hard to top a lollitop! Whether you’ve got a ‘hippie chick’ or a ‘party animal,’ they’ll look trendy but sweet in a lollitop tee. Available in 12, 18 or 24 months, lollitop ring spun tees feature high-end embroidery, trendy appliqués, and supersoft 100% combed cotton. They also feature absolutely yummy packaging: each tee is hand wrapped like a giant lollipop. We love great gifts with no wrapping required!

Is your little ‘angel’ prone to having meltdowns? Dress her appropriately with this Chocolate Meltdown tee. Decorated with Swarovski crystals and packaged in clear candy boxes; this tee makes the perfect gift. This tasty treat is made by Arm Candy Baby (they think there is no better companion than a cute little baby in your arms-we agree!). Arm Candy Baby is a fun, flirty and flavorful line of baby tees and bodysuits. Specializing in retro-inspired candy screen-prints that reflect the “mood” of each individual baby.

yummy blankets

Keep your little slice of heaven cozy and stylish with a Birthday Cake on a Pink Cashmere Stroller Blanket. Knit in a fabulously soft 2-ply premium cashmere with a yummy chenille cake design, the 26” x 26” blanket is delectable. And, you can have your cake and eat it too when you add the matching sweater pullover! The Cupcake on Pink Cashmere Pullover is available in 6-12 months or 12-24 months, and features the same gorgeous cashmere as the Stroller Blanket. Baby will look as sweet as cake!


chocolate shampoo

We are yodeling the praises of Circle of Friend’s shampoos, especially Niklas’ Yodel-ay-he 2-in-1 Shampoo and it’s yummy delicious milk chocolate scent! Our love of chocolate isn’t the only reason we adore these shampoos. We also love that all Circle of Friend’s shampoos are tearless, Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate free and are created from the highest quality ingredients, which are safe and gentle. And, because the Shampoos are named after fascinating characters from around the world- Hans' Oom Pah Pah Shampoo, Ana Banana Shampoo, Susie's Root Beer Roundup Shampoo and Splish Splash Shampoo- they lure kids to tub time with stories of far off places and fun adventures! So go ahead, round up some Circle of Friend’s shampoo, and yodel your little one to tub time!

yummy gifts

Flavor meets fashion in Neopolita’s Spumoni Ice Cream & Waffle Cone Gift Set! Neopolita’s ice cream swirl baby hats (0-4 months) and waffle cone texture baby blankets are deliciously stylish, and cozy warm. Hand-crafted from fine yarns (50% merino, 50% acrylic), shipped specially from Germany, the hat and blanket set is both sweet and beautiful. Show your favor for flavor with a Neopolita gift set!

yummy in mommy's tummy
Put some yummy in your tummy with NutraBella’s Bellybars! Bellybars pack prenatal nutrition into a delicious on-the-go snack, available in three yummy flavors: Berry Nutty Cravings, Mellow Oat, and Baby Needs Chocolate. If you’re a mom-to-be, or a nursing mom, and you’re always on the go, go get your order of Bellybars now…baby needs chocolate, and so do you!

Don’t cry over spilled milk unless it’s Angel’s Milk! Specially formulated with “motherhood in mind,” Angel’s Milk is fortified with vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K, folic acid, and blended with minerals like calcium, iron and magnesium. Though the flavors sound (and are!) scrumptiously sweet- Chocolate Decadence, Strawberry Passion, Pina Colada Dream- they are low in sugar, while high in protein. Staying hydrated and nourished during pregnancy and while nursing is one of the best things you can do for baby, and staying hydrated and nourished with yummy Angel’s Milk is one of the best things you can do for mommy!

lux photo purses

personalized stationery

We love these adorable cards found at Penny People Designs...you can personalize the characters by changing the skin tone, hair style, and hair color of each family member.

The name of this adorable company is just as adorable as it’s note cards. Lindsay Stephenson began drawing her penny people (so called because she traced pennies to create their face) in grade school. As she grew up, pennies were no longer needed.‘Personalized stationery has never looked as cute’ as Penny People stationery.

Nurture baby naturally with Nature’s Baby; a beautiful line of 100% natural and botanically based hair and skin care products. What we put on baby’s skin is oh so important, so we love that with Nature’s Baby every ingredient in every product is 100% derived from nature. We also love that with Shampoo-Body Wash and Conditioners in Vanilla-Tangerine or Lavender-Chamomile; baby will smell like a baby, instead of overpowering perfumes! Bathe baby in luxury…naturally!

Baby’s skin will truly be the softest thing on earth, when treated to Erbaviva’s Organic Body Oil. Erbaviva offers wonderful, upscale baby products made only from the highest quality organic and wildcrafted essential oils. We loved how the Organic Baby Oil was light and nourishing. Perfect for after-bath moisturizing, protecting the diaper area, and for preventing wind-chapped cheeks this fall, we agree that Erbaviva’s Organic Baby Oil is "indispensable"!

Dremel’s Pumpkin Carving Kit lets you easily carve intricate patterns using included templates that you trace onto your pumpkin. Your pumpkin will glow with your spooky design and your neighbors will glow with envy.



cool flashlights
Safety is something that is definitely on the minds of parents on Halloween night. With one hand holding yours and the other her treat bag, there are no hands free for a flashlight. The perfect solution is a headlamp! Our favorite headlamps are the Princeton Tec Scout Headlamp found at LL Bean and the Coleman for Kids Waterproof Headlamp.
LL Bean is a trusted name in outdoor gear, and this headlamp will last him a lifetime. The adjustable strap allows a perfect fit and it is ultra-lightweight and compact. Multiple light intensities and strobe setting are capable with this bright LED light. The Coleman headlamp is specially made for kids with adjustable straps and is completely water-tight.

Available styles include this adorable pumpkin, a spooky black cat and a bat. Your child will love the addition to his costume and you will love the price (only $4.99 each when you buy two).

Let your one of a kind wear a one of a kind, and remind us that life on the farm is beautifully stylish!


farm themed accessories
Swanky baby prides itself on offering unique gifts for baby that aren’t mass produced…but we definitely think that their Cow print play blanket will have mass appeal! Swanky Baby fabrics are fabulous, especially the cow print, which turns a blanket into a visual treat for baby’s developing eyes. Available in two sizes- small (3.5’ x 3.5’) and large (4.5’ x 4.5’)- we think that you’ll find that both sizes of Swanky Baby’s play blankets are big on practicality and style. The Cow Print play blanket is trimmed in satin with a padded fabric back, making it perfect for use inside or out. Get this farm fabulous gear at swankybaby.com!

Whether baby is the top dog, your silly rabbit, or ruling the roost at your house, Oeuf has the perfect farm-themed accessory set!

Bella Tunno specializes in making baby basics super stylish, and their cow print Bib and Burpie are no exception. Baby will love the high contrast cow print, and soft terry velour backing. Mommy will love that Bella Tunno doesn’t sacrifice function for style: an extended Velcro closure will allow the Bella Bib to grow with baby, and when baby no longer needs a burpie, Bella Burpie’s generous size makes for a great changing pad! Bella Tunno makes Farm Functional!

barnyard fun
Let your kids experience life on the farm with Melissa & Doug’s adorable Fold & Go Barn. The fabulous red barn includes seven farm animals, sliding barn doors, large stalls, stable doors, a hayloft and a carry handle- a lot of farm, perfect for a big imagination. A beautiful take on an old classic, we have a feeling that this toy will do lots of folding and going!



Farm life isn’t for everyone, but we have a feeling that baby will love it when he sees (and hears!) FAO Schwarz’s Soft Barnyard Play Set! Though scaled down for smaller hands, this farm has plenty of room for imagination. Your little tike will love how the plush animals rattle and squeak, and peak their noses out of the soft barn windows. We know you’ll love the barn’s wipeable surfaces and endless entertainment!


Be the first in your neighborhood to give your little one her (or his!) very own pony, by preordering Hasbro’s Furreal Friends Butterscotch Pony. Standing just over three feet, Butterscotch responds to your voice, moves her head and ears, blinks her eyes, whinnies and neighs. We know that your little pony enthusiast will think Furreal Friends Butterscotch is for real!



pig in a blanket
We finally know why ‘this little piggy stayed home’; he was warm and cozy in an adorable Sonya Bebeblankee piginablankie. The newest addition to Sonya Bebeblankee’s fabulous product line, piginablankie (and friends!) allows you to give a gorgeous personalized gift in just three baby steps!

Wallayourdone!
