Pour Duex Maternity Candle for Two: Gift for Expectant Moms

giselej — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 12:00:00 +0000

If you are need of a thoughtful gift for an expectant mother or want to bring a gift after the baby has arrived this candle is a great gift! Each candle is packaged in a box especially made for the babies specific birth month. The candle comes in a beautiful rich chocolate colored box with the birth month on the front and a description of the traits of that specific birth month on the back. The back of the box also notes the gemstone and flower for the particular month. The labels use that month’s colors. My daughter was born in February so the label is printed in black and violet since the February flower is violet and the gemstone is amethyst which is purple also. I like that this gives the gift a more personal touch. The candle and the glass container are tall and rectangular shaped with the birth month label on the front of the glass. The candle has to wicks-one for mom and baby. The candle is made from soy. Unlit the candle has a great powder fresh scent similar to new babies and when lit the candle burns smoothly and cleanly.

My mother in law is an artist. A former art teacher, she can create anything and has painted pictures, murals and more for us over the years. I tell you this in introducing my latest find to share my appreciation for those who can create something out of nothing. Like Kimberly Petruska, proprietor of Celebrations n’ Sweets, who started with a decorative/design business which included painting murals and has evolved into an online shop unique in many ways. Kimberly’s creations personify classiness, especially my favorite, the personalized plaques which can be customized with your child’s name and photo. Choose from girls or boys personalized designs or the new 5X7 plaques which make a perfect gift for a new baby. I love our Green & Tan Harlequin Photo Plaque though finding a picture worthy of it’s design has been somewhat of a challenge. (So many pictures in one short year you’d think choosing one would be easy!) I could easily see giving the wedding gift plauqe to a friend or sister too…love it. A beautiful edition to our son’s nusery, Kimberly Petruska’s designs are something to admire.

Wonder Bumpers by GoMamaGo Designs: A Top Pick

giselej — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 10:00:00 +0000

New moms…moms to be…even parents of babies or young toddlers…this one’s for you. My latest find, Wonder Bumpers by GoMamaGo designs, ranks right up there with Quick Zip Crib Sheets and Grobag Room Thermometer as a must-have product for your nursery. Wonder Bumpers, a breathable crib bumper which increases airflow and reduces the risk of SIDS, completely reinvents the crib bumper eliminating the choice new parents often have between cute but potentially hazardous traditional bumpers and styles breathable options. Wonder Bumper are both stylish and safe. The vertical bumper design also makes it easier to change crib sheets, gives you a ton of options with reversible patterns, and even inhibits older babies from climbing out of the crib! A “Why didn’t I think of that” product that makes you slightly jealous the idea wasn’t yours. But kudos to the mom creators behind GoMamaGoDesgins for thinking up such a brilliant idea and offering the rest of us a solution to common crib problems. You’ll love the soft minky feel of the bumpers and can even accessorize with matching sheets, crib skirts and pillows or purchase as a collection. A Cool Baby Kid Top Pick? Absolutely!

Cool Giveaway: It’s a biggie!!

No Girls Allowed: One Stop Boy Shop

giselej — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 11:00:00 +0000

While it’s true shopping for little girls can be fun, I was surprised when my son was born to find equally cute boy products. Making it even easier to focus on your little guy, One Stop Boy Shop is “all about the boys.” Frustrated by the lack of selection for boys versus girl clothing and accessories, Nancy, owner and mom of three boy, scours the web and also carries One Stop Boy Shop exclusives to so you and I can sit back and reap the benefits of her extensive research. With only one stop you can browse through an extensive selection of shoes, clothing and even bedroom and nursery decoration. I was impressed with the reasonably priced, soft sole leather shoes (pictured) we received that look so comfy I sometimes wish they made an adult-version. One Stop Boy Shop helps parents of boys have as much fun shopping for their tiny boyfriends as picking out bows for their female counterparts.

Cool Tip: In addition to the shoes, pop over to the PJ’s page and check out the blue camouflage print sleepers. 100% boy!
