Luvkins // On Trend, On the Grid with Jacadi Baby

By Gina Munsey, Senior Editor Leave a Comment

Sometimes the line between classics and trends is just a teeny bit blurred. Case in point: plaid, gingham, check. The simple grid pattern is definitely having a moment right now. We love it! If you’re heading to a baby shower this summer and you can’t decide between trendy and classic — go with both. Our favorite patterned picks from Jacadi’s baby collections (and their home/nursery line) are both perfectly heirloom-quality and perfectly up-to-date.

I am so excited for my oldest friend’s baby shower this weekend and to share some of my favorite baby products with her. As much as I love fashion and decor, what we are all concerned about as mothers, is our babe’s health. My most important moment as a mom was breastfeeding. Having those low pumps and short feeds can be discouraging, hence the Mother’s Milk Tea. A life saver. Another priority of mine was putting the best products on Revel. Just reading the ingredients of Honest Co. is so reassuring. This gift basket gives a decent test run with the Honest Co. and since these are items off of my own bundles, she can still have a free trial for herself. I obviously couldn’t leave out a few clothing items, so I threw in a Munster Kids onesie & some House of Mia shorts. Since I am a lover of all things black & white, I love this idea of recycling an old beer case and displaying the different gifts. I may even throw some macaroons in the other case with a copy of Babiekins Mag!

You will need:

6 Pack Bottle Case

Spray Paint

Ribbons

News Paper

Gift fillers of your choice

Step 1:

Discard the inside separators if needed & spray paint your bottle case in as many layers as needed. Let dry & do the same to the bottoms.

Step 2:

Wrap your various fillers in colorful ribbons for cute pops & to differentiate the different gifts. Wrap your case in a ribbon that coordinates. (You could also write a message on your box if you used chalk board spray paint!)

Step 3:

Arrange your gift box according to size and item. Try to keep each section balanced by repeating your theme in reverse of the opposite side. Here I went big, small, big.

Voila! Shower your expecting friends!

Yummy Baby Gifts™ , founded by Grace Cheung Izquierdo, launched its online baby gift store in September 2013 and is based in Arizona, USA. They offer you the most special and unique baby gifts to give to your loved ones who are having a baby! Whether you give your gift at the baby shower or at your baby visit, your baby gift will be the one that stands out to the new proud parents!

Yummy Baby Gifts™ are baby clothing items and accessories that are hand folded and rolled to look like different kinds of food. The popular baby gift like the Sushi Rolls are made up of six washcloths and three pairs of baby socks which are wrapped in “seaweed.” This special Sushi Rolls baby gift also comes with “ginger,” “wasabi,” grass fences, and is packaged in an authentic Japanese takeout box. To top off this one of a kind baby gift, children’s sized genuine Japanese bamboo chopsticks are included with every sushi baby gift! What a fun baby gift to give to the doting new mom and dad!

Sushi is just one example of the baby gifts they offer, there are several unique options to choose from like bon bons, cupcakes, ice cream, and lollipops. All of their baby gifts are labeled with “ingredients” and always packaged with ribbon for a complete look. Yummy Baby Gifts™ are ready to be given away as soon as you receive them or you can ship them directly to the new parents with a personal message right from their online store, with no extra charge!

We asked Grace to tell us a little bit about herself and her vision. This is what she has to say:

I started Yummy Baby Gifts™ because I have a passion for having my own business and at the same time want to be able to take care of our 2 girls at home, so having an online shop was the perfect idea. The vision for this company is to offer people a fun and creative way of presenting baby gifts rather than just another baby bodysuit for the new mom and dad. I love the idea of the baby gifts looking like food and there didn’t seem to be one baby gift store that specialized in this one area. Celebrating the birth of a baby is an exciting time and I’ve always wanted to do something in that arena. The smiles and reactions I receive from a new mom or dad receiving our baby gifts is just priceless!

Yummy Baby Gifts is offering Babiekins readers a 20% discount on any baby gift with no minimum purchase, expires January 31st, 2014. Use code: BABIEKINS20

Partykins // District Cookie

By Priscila Barros, Editor-in-Chief 1 Comment

I may or may not be totally salivating as I write this blog post or every time I see District Cookie pop up on my instagram feed! Can you blame me? Who is District Cookie? Well, we couldn’t say it better than owner Rula herself. “District Cookie has soul – mixed in with core, organic ingredients like history, passion, labor and love. This cool cookie lab creates connections of global fusion flavors that reinvent classic cookie cravings.”

Rula’s cookies are made of organic ingredients, non-gmo, have low glycemic sugar, made from unbleached flour, have no transfats, created with local dairy products and made with loads of love!

We asked Rula to bake up a couple batches of her wonderful cookies for my baby shower and they were gone as soon as they were put out. With flavors like brown butter chocolate sea salt and orange spice double chocolate I couldn’t blame my guests. It was a beautiful event that was even sweeter because of Rula and her delicious cookies.

I am off to go order a batch of my favorite flavor for myself and am already thinking of which flavors I will gift my family on Christmas! If you would like to order cookies yourself please visit District Cookies or if you have any questions you can contact Rula at info@districtcookie.com
