aden + anais bamboo swaddles

aden +anais is a company known for creating a swaddle blanket large enough to be truly useful to mothers. It is not just for swaddling but useful as a stroller cover, nursing shield, tummy time blanket, or a burping cloth. This new line of bamboo swaddles are modern and stylish, with prints designed by Masala Baby of NYC. They make a fun and funky (yet practical!) gift for a hip mom with sophisticated prints that are not at all "babyish." In three great prints.

Cool Mom Picks Back to School Guide



We are so honored to be included this great guide to back to school must-haves! In addition to the Crocodile Creek Food Jars that they recommend, we also carry the Fleurville Kids Messenger Bag listed under favorite big-kid backpacks. We agree...both are great products!

Cattiwampus also has a great selection of lunchbags, totes, pencil cases, clothes and whatever else you might need to get the kids school year started.


Ultimate Summer Bag

We love these awesome bags from AnnMillie. The bags themselves are made from 100% recyclable Polyethylene and are ultra-lightweight, so you just carry the weight of whatever you have to throw in them! They are lined and all have an inner pocket for tucking keys or cell phones. We have three styles: a huge purple tote that is perfect for the beach or pool, big enough for a few towels and all the other gear you need; a fashionable tote that is great for daily use; and a fashionable pink toile, bowling-style bag that is stylish enough to wear for work or whatever! All the bags can be folded up and packed in suitcases for travel. Best of all...they are all under $15!

Easter Basket Ideas!

Easter is just two weeks away, but it is not too late to get a great deal on gifts, clothes and even baskets! Penelope Peapod dolls and animals make a unique basket (and are on sale!). Since each doll comes in it's own bassinet that converts to a purse, they can easily be used as a base for all the goodies you have in mind! Then after the candy is gone you have a great toy to be enjoyed for years to come. For the older set, a Stitch-It Bunny Keyring makes a fun activity. Babies will delight in all the soft and cuddly Jellycat animals we have, many under $10! Beautiful, romantic dresses from Wati Design are just right for Easter Sunday and beyond.
