Thought Spots

We love giving our children little reminders and words of encouragement, but post-it notes are so messy and uninspiring. Thought Spots are residue-free, reusable messages that stick to mirrors, windows or your fridge and easily peel off. Thought Spots are a great way to remind your toddler to brush her teeth, or to tell your little guy you think he’s super. You can buy individual large Thought Spots or packs of 12 mini-spots with themes such as positive parenting, new mom and confidence grows. The first 10 orders using coupon code BABY will receive 2 free Big Thoughts–superhero (seen here) and Happy Birthday– a $12 value.

Stellar Maternity Clothes

Online shopping loses its excitement once you start dressing for one plus a bump. Lucky for expecting moms, Stella Maternity offers stylish clothes that will make you want to shop again.

“I believe pregnant women should dress to celebrate,” says founder and owner of Stella Maternity and Stella Baby, Trisha Jones. She launched the online shopping site in July 2006 because she found it impossible to find unusual, hip maternity clothes in her hometown of Savannah, GA.

Popular items include Anne Matthew dresses (that can be worn during pregnancy and while nursing), Everly Grey hippy-inspired dresses and tunics, and b-buckles (a small loop that snaps through your front belt loops to expand your pants during pregnancy and until you return to your pre-baby form). We also love Noppies Odessa blouse (seen here in black).

Unique Online Gifts

We’ve never had so much fun shopping for online gifts. So Chic Gifts is like visiting a cool craft venue without leaving your home. The Canadian-based site collaborates with artists and designers from across the world to offer a variety of unique, handmade designer items. So Chic Gifts will even gift wrap your item(s) and send them directly to the lucky recipient.

We especially love the Monkey Business Lunch Bib and Pod (seen here), Traffic Jam Minky Baby Blanket and the Daddy Bag–a messenger bag so hip your husband will actually want to carry your baby’s diapers.

Monogrammed kids clothes

Ever since our sons started learning the alphabet, they’ve become obsessed with seeing their names in print. So we love Simply Colors, a Canadian company that makes it easy to monogram anything from hoodies and T-shirts to pants and dresses. Simply Colors offers a variety of 100 percent cotton items in 13 different colors (and 30-plus print colors). You can personalize each with your child’s name, age and/or favorite character image. Products range in size from newborn to 10 years.

Organic Shopping Cart Covers

We have to admit, this year’s H1N1 scare turned us into Germaphobes. And although we can’t control everything that goes into our babies’ mouths, we have found a way to make grocery shopping a little cleaner. Canadian Cozy’s eco-friendly bamboo shopping covers are as stylish as they are practical. You can secure the cart cozy to a shopping cart seat with one hand and side pockets are great for storing snacks and toys to entertain your tot while you shop. Best of all, the oversized design keeps your baby comfy and germ-free throughout any shopping excursion.
