Giggle IOU Cards for Mother's Day or Any Day

Aaron Burgess — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:00:00 GMT

I'm usually of the mind that a handmade IOU card is the best kind to give, but these adorable IOUs from Giggle offer a good argument in favor of the premade, pro-made variety.

Though not technically for Mother's Day, the IOU Card Set from kids (there's also a separate set to/from parents) features 12 heartwarming promises packaged in a cute, colorful tin. From "Take a Nap" to "One Big Hug," there's no promise in here a kid can't deliver -- of course, whether they will deliver is another story, but it's the thought that counts, right?

U-Roll in Colorful Stripes

elizabeth leach — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 17:00:00 GMT

This is the prettiest U-Roll I've seen. I love the bright, fun stripes! Made from molded plywood, this ride-on is strong enough for even grownups! One side is light colored birch veneer and the other is fabulous, gender neutral stripes. Doesn't it remind you of Fruit Striped Gum?

Find this U-Roll exclusively at Giggle for $175.

Be Mess Free With This Child Apron

Lisa Estall — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 20:10:00 GMT

I never thought of getting an apron for my son until I saw him wear one at daycare. It was like a lightbulb went off. An apron will protect his clothes and make cleaning up less of a hassle for me.

My favorite Mimi the Sardine Child Apron is this colorful pattern ot chicks. There are no toxic finishes so it's definitely kid-friendly.

They're priced at $20 and sold at Giggle.

Spit Up: Kate's Moss Hat

Erin Behan — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 21:07:00 GMT

I'm a big fans of kids hats and a general fan of the stuff Giggle carries on its website, but I can't say I'm a fan of the amusingly named Kate's Moss Hat ($34). I mean, who would plant a giant piece of moss on their kids head and call it a hat? For the record, it's fully lined. And don't even get me started on the Flower Power Hat ($34), below.

Black Cat for Halloween

Erin Behan — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 14:01:00 GMT

I'm not sure there's a way to keep kids from gobbling up the tons of Halloween candy they'll score from their treating, but if you're truly anti-candy, you might try bribing the little ones with this adorable Halloween kitty from Two-Dees, available at Giggle ($15). The plush animal has embroidered facial features, so it's good from birth until they're smart enough to hide candy in their underwear.

A Cape with Secret Pockets!

elizabeth leach — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 19:22:00 GMT

The best part about this super cute, satin cape is the four hidden pockets for your super hero to carry her secret weapons. Maybe it's the jellybeans that make her turn invisible or the glasses that make her see in the dark... or whatever her imagination dreams up. The cape also comes with three shield inserts that she can color herself.

The boy's cape is just as cute! Buy the girl's cape here. Both are at Giggle for $42.

New Teething Rings without BPA Look Like the Old Kind

elizabeth leach — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:00:00 GMT

My daughter's favorite teethers are the plastic, water filled ones that you put in the refrigerator. Even now that she's not teething, she still likes to play with them and chew on them. I've even started as using them as a distraction toy when I'm feeding her because they are so easy to clean and they are such great distractions. But up until now I haven't found BPA free ones that look like this.

The new Natursutten Apple and Fish Teethers from Giggle are made without phthalates or chemical softeners. These even have the tiny bumps to sooth sore gums. They're just like the old kind but without the all the bad stuff. Hopefully, one day, we won't have to worry about our baby products but for now at least we have choices! ($12.00 each.)

Baby Basics: The Swaddle Blanket

Erin Behan — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 13:19:00 GMT

Inspired by editor Gwynne Watkins' posts about what she loved the first week home with her baby, I thought I'd post a few of my favorite products. Up first, the swaddle blanket. I know there are many schools of thought on the swaddle blanket (velcro vs. old-school wrap), but the one we have been returning to again and again is from Giggle.

The set of two organic swaddle blankets ($34) is from Giggle's better basics line and is made from organic cotton. Interestingly only one of the two blankets in the set makes for a great swaddle (the colored one). Its super thin stretchy fabric (much thinner than most I've seen) helps wrap the little wriggly one super tight and won't make him or her too hot. The white blanket that comes with the set is more of a traditional, slightly thicker blanket, and while it's possible to swaddle your baby in it, we found ours to be more than capable of wriggling out of it. Stil, both blankets are a nice addition to any beginning parent's arsenal.

Check out more of my favorite baby basics.

chrisjordan — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 21:03:00 GMT

Glide in Style

Karen — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 13:31:00 GMT

When I was pregnant with our first child, we hunted down a rocking chair, refinished it and I rocked in that hard chair for months, all the while cursing that this was the picture perfect notion I wanted?

Dear Adagio Nursery Glider, Where have you been? Love, Karen.

New from Giggle, this stylish piece is $1299.99.
