Robotcha? You Betcha

JeanneSager — Fri, 22 May 2009 20:31:00 GMT

In a household where Yo Gabba Gabba's Plex reigns supreme, it's been a tough row to hoe with the slim pickings for female robot fans out there.

Hello Robotcha, a company conceived under the direction of its owners' three-year-old son. It's a place where robots and ice cream are omnipresent, and we've finally found robots for every kid's futuristic fantasy. Switch the nameplate on your front door to the Jetsons, because the future is here and if it strikes your fancy, it comes in pink, light green and even ruffles.

The company with "shirts for kids who like robots" - because what kid doesn't? - Robotcha sports boxy designs that come from a whole new box. Robots with ice cream cones, green bots planting flowers (the GrowBot), and friendly automatons waving howdy. Suddenly, we don't even care if it will clean our bathroom for us; at least these robots turn out our kids looking good.

Get a hoodie for her, a tee for him and throw one in the pile for Dad (Father's Day is coming, hint, hint) straight from Robotcha.

S is for a Shakespeare Shirt for Little Sonnet Writers

JeanneSager — Thu, 14 May 2009 21:27:00 GMT

They might still be on fairy tales, but who better than the bard to start them off on a life-long love of literature?

This Alpha Buddies tee is perfect for a summer's day - one lovely and temperate of course - as it's made from one hundred percent cotton. S may be for Shakespeare, but it's all for Stocking in the kids' closet.

Be Wild in Stella Blu Clothing

Whit Honea — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 12:01:00 GMT

Stella Blu Clothing makes t-shirts and onesies for rocking kids. Their line is self-descirbed as boorish and rebellious, but in a good way, and we are inclined to agree.

The designs are full of confidence, imagination and expression, featuring rock motifs and classic tattoos in sizes ranging from newborn to 6x.

Check out the Stella Blu website and see some mischief on the kids for a change.

Back to Wardrobe Basics: Pleat Neckline Tee

AmandaHill — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 22:00:00 GMT

While I love unique wardrobe pieces, it's also great to have basics. For my daughter, a few solid pink tee's in various styles are always important. She loves pink and t-shirts; the combination only makes sense.

You can find the adorable Pleat Neckline Tee at Crazy8.

Thread Drawing Tees

Lisa Mulcahy — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 00:30:00 GMT

Silk-screened versions of original owl, raven, or nest “thread drawings” are printed on organic onesies and toddler tees for a truly unique look.

The Babble Review: Three from Kitsel & Giveaway!

editors — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 19:35:00 GMT

Here at Droolicious we’ve been exhaustively covering the back-to-school beat and we think it’s super handy when you can find all the cuteness that is children’s clothing in one place. Kitsel is one of those online stores that seeks out the coolest in the land and puts it in one clickable spot - and we got a peek at some of their wares. Three for fall we fell in love with:

Zebi Baby “Adventure” Tee - $24

We’ve gushed about products from Zebi Baby before, and this “Adventure” tee in 100% organic cotton is gush-worthy as well. In addition to their commitment to organic materials, Zebi uses water-based dyes to create their mini-masterpieces.

Lollipop Zen Tee - $32

Lollipop Zen uses adorable Buddha’s to promote its message of peace, love and lollipops. We say get ‘em while they’re young and impressionable. Yeah Peace! This Buddha-Full Soul soft cotton tee comes in vintage colors like the green above, which is especially friendly to your zen.

Ed Hardy Bumble Bee Toddler ball cap - $28

Even if it’s been awhile since you’ve been to the club, you can’t miss the Ed Hardy style on celebrities and mortals alike. This toddler ball cap sports a happy bee and Ed Hardy sig in case you thought you were getting an ordinary tattoo-inspired cap. And we’ve got one to give away to your toddler! Check out the Kitsel website, and tell us who the designer is behind this fashion line. Send your answer to babblecontest@gmail.com and we’ll pick a winner! - April Peveteaux

New Summer Fun T-Shirts at Etsy.com

Chris Ford — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:02:00 GMT

I'm always on the look-out for summer camp t-shirts, and I found some new options over at the you-craft-it-we-sell-it web site Etsy. Etsy seller "nissalisa" makes t-shirts that are cute, fun and probably something you won't see on another kid at camp this summer.

Most of the t-shirts have a monster theme and are made from a terry cloth applique, available in American Apparel t-shirt sizes 2-8. Besides the "Monster Pink Bernice" shirt (pictured), there are loads of other designs too, including shirts more suited for boys (like "Blue Bernard"). There are even some towels, stuffed monsters and hair accessories for sale.

Check out Monster Pink Bernice, $28.50, as well as all of the other products at nissalisa's shop at Etsy.com.

Right From The Start: Revo Baby Revolutionary Tees

Sarah Verdone — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 16:27:00 GMT

I found out about Revo Baby on the streets of New York - where else? They sew and screenprint their own 100% cotton, lap-shoulder tees with catchy baby-power slogans like: Get Up, Stand Up, Stand Up for Your Rights, I Will Not Be Pacified, and Make Babies! Not War! More designs are in the works. 6/12, 12/18, and 18/24 mths. sizes available in black, white or red (natch). $18 from Revo Baby.

Elizabeth Mitchell's Little Shirts For Your Little Birds

Leigh-Ann Jackson — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 15:00:00 GMT

I'm not going to rule out the possibility that your toddler is wearing that AC/DC lap tee because she's actually a fan. I'm just saying it's not entirely likely. Brand new this week is a band tee that features a musician that is intended for her ears, rather than yours (and, no, this is not Wiggles related). Those who've loved singer Elizabeth Mitchell from her days in indie-rock band Ida, straight through to her last kids' music release — You Are My Little Bird, an album of sublime children's folk songs that got the Babble seal of approval back in August — will jump at the chance to cop one of these shirts. They feature the aforementioned album's artwork, by Ida Pearle, and come in sizes 6-12 months to 6T (infants have a different design). There's adult shirt action, too, for those of us who sing along to her versions of "Little Liza Jane" and "What Goes On" as loudly as their little ones.

$20, Little Bird Records.

Big Deal: Slick Sugar is Boombastic

Karen — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 12:03:00 GMT

Slick Sugar has a kick-butt sale on right now with tons of t-shirts with cool images of drums, motorcycles and boom boxes. Yes, I know it's 2007 and no one has called them boom boxes since 1991, but I was uncool before being uncool was cool.

Big Deal: Swirl Syndicate Tees

Karen — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 14:03:00 GMT

I love these multi-culti tees from our very own Babble blogger, Leigh-Ann Jackson! Right now Leigh-Ann is offering all her Swirl Syndicate tees at $20 each! Snag them now - sale ends September 24th! More designs after the jump.

Spit Up: We KNOW What's In Your Belly, Preggo

Karen — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 22:03:00 GMT

Perhaps these would have been good for Britney when she was pregnant, you know, so she could look down after popping open her 8th can of Bud Light or dipping her Cheetos in bacon grease and go, "Oh yeah, sheeeet Kevin, I can't have this! That there is a baby in me, ya'll!"

(Not to mention Brit's boys have 5 toes on each foot despite the Neanderthal bloodline.)

$42 at Tummy T's.

Big Deal: Make Yo Gabba Gabba T-Shirts!

Karen — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 16:05:00 GMT

I've scoured the internet for Yo Gabba Gabba merch, and I can't find any, but free is always good! Use a clean t-shirt and iron on transfer paper to create these tees from NickJr's website. Printable iron-ons come in 5 styles and as cute as they are colourful.

Kickin' It Twin Style With Breakfast Tees

Karen — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 13:02:00 GMT

What goes together better than bacon and eggs? Rather than dress your twins up in the same outfit, why not let one of them be salty meat (YUM!) and the other take it over-easy?

$42 for the set at Twinkle Kids. Available in Brown, Olive and Pink.

See You Later, Alligator!

Karen — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 13:32:00 GMT

Snorg only makes a few kid's shirts, and all of them are endearing reminders of ~~100 years ago~~ my childhood. My boys would find this one amusing and to hear them tell a joke, well, you just have to be here to appreciate it. Really. The laughter? It never stops.

$16.95 at Snorg Tees.

Current Favorite Threadless Tee: Cowboys

Kelly Mills — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 20:02:00 GMT

I love them Threadless Tees, with their clever sayings and interesting art and kinda nerdy vibe that suits us just perfectly. My current favorite for kids is this Optical Illusion Kid shirt, unisex and $17, because our subscription to Highlights has turned our family into optical illusion fiends. Look, I'm well aware we're geeks. We're cool with it. But look, it's also macho cowboys, and I like the sepia tones, so there.

Rock the Retro: Lord Knows I'm a Voodoo Child, Baby

Karen — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 20:11:00 GMT

Jimi Hendrix fans will love to throw this retro onesies on their babies. The kid won't have a clue who he is, but I seem to recall a certain little girl who used to wear her mom's Pat Benatar tee to bed. Ahem.

Onesie is $14.99 at Viktor Viktoria.

Laid Back in My MacLaren and Everyone's Staring

Karen — Sat, 18 Aug 2007 14:05:00 GMT

I laughed out loud when I saw this saying on one of the end of season sale shirts at Sir Hayes. Chris just introduced you to Sir Hayes, but I'm here to Babble about the MacLaren.

Don't know what a MacLaren is? It's a lightweight stroller from Britain, yo. The Volo, shown here, is my favorite. It comes in 6 different colour combos and the construction on these puppies is known worldwide as the most lightweight aluminum buggy. One thing I love about it is when you fold it up, it has a convenient strap to carry it with.

$129 at Amazon.
