Happy Birthday, Trumpette!
After 20 years of excellence, Trumpette is running strong and is producing its best products to date. I found a wonderful article on Trumpette that details their start-up, growth and future.
Congratulations, Trumpette!
This article is taken from Earnshaw’s April, 2009 Issue:
By drawing on his background in retail and visual merchandising, Trumpette founder Jon Stevenson has transformed practical purchases into covetable presents. Trumpette’s fun, yet sophisticated products are baby shower staples, thanks in large part to creative packaging. At 20, the brand that introduced the original Mary Jane and Johnny socks is sold in 23 countries through clothing stores, gift boutiques, pharmacies and golf shops.
Itzbeen timers are back in stock.
And now they come in 3 great colors
Blue, Pink and Green!
ITZBEEN™ Baby Care Timer was developed by a new mom and dad who found themselves sleep-deprived and needing help to remember baby care details, such as when their baby last ate or napped. They tried charts and journals, but thought there had to be a better way. So, they created the ITZBEEN™: a multi-purpose nursery tool that helps new parents remember the basic details of baby care. The ITZBEEN™ has four timers that count up with the touch of a button, and a host of other helpful features, all designed with the needs of a new parent in mind.

Top 10 Unique Baby Gifts For New Moms This Mother’s Day
If you know a new mom, or have been a new mom yourself, then you know the overwhelming joy in celebrating your very first Mother’s Day.
To help spread the love, we’ve compiled the top 10 unique baby gifts from Baby Bella, guaranteed to delight not only your favorite toddler or newborn – but also your favorite moms this Mother’s Day!
(We’ve also thrown in one very unique gift for Dad – we just couldn’t resist).
I’ll admit it… I’m a "cheap" mom. I rarely buy my son (whom I will be calling "Little G" for the purposes of this blog) clothing or toys. We have so many hand-me-downs from friends and relatives and they won’t last longer then a few months anyway. But one thing I can’t stay away from is shoes. In particular, Robeez shoes. I am in LOVE with Robeez. And so is Little G.
When we brought him home at 6 months, we bought theRobeez Soft Soled shoes which were perfect for him at age 6 months to about 1 year. I would reccommend these for about 2 months to a year, but unfortunately, I didn’t get to try them on Little G until 6 months old. Many of my customers ask me, "Why would you get shoes for a baby that doesn’t walk?". The answer is simple. These shoes do what socks can’t… they stay on! Baby can’t pull or kick them off, so his or her feet stay toasty warm. Plus, they look so darn cute! And the best thing about Robeez Soft Soled shoes is that they are machine washable. And let me tell you, they wash up beautifully! No special attention needed, just throw them in with regular laundry. When Little G started walking, the Robeez Soft Soled shoes were great because the leather bottoms were non-skid, making learning to walk on our hardwood floors a little easier. Plus, the extreamely flexable sole allowes the foot to develop properly. No binding, inflexable hard soles for children under 1 year, doctors recommend.
A mealtime revolution.
Our two-sided Double Bib features Bebe au Lait’s signature chic prints on one side and plush terry cloth on the other. Perfectly oversized, it has two double sided magnets that seamlessly and securely fasten the bib across the chest with zero hassle. The absence of Velcro and cumbersome closures also mean Baby’s skin and cloths are protected. Totally reversible, with a possibility of four sides, this innovative bib allows for super clean feeding every time, even when busy moms and dads haven’t had a chance to wash it. (And yes, its 100% machine washable!)
It’s been awhile and we are due for a contest! I have 6 pairs of BabyLegs to give away.
My question is: what is your favorite baby/toddler item of all time?
It could be your favorite gift to give at showers (our favorite is Trumpette Socks… Mary Jane for girl, Johnny’s for boys). It could be the thing you can’t put your child to bed without (my son can’t sleep without his "Zeekie" zebra from Jellycats). It doesn’t have to be from our website (although we love to hear happy feedback).
The first 6 people to answer this question will win! Easy as that…
