the Wry Baby Blog

Everything we offer at wrybaby.com is unique, fun and special. And we mean everything. Even our gift wrapping!

Let us introduce you to the Wry Baby Gift Tote. Made of sturdy white canvas, this 17″ x 17″ tote bag smartly delivers your thoughtful gift before becoming a thoughtful gift in itself. Perfectly reusable for quick trips out with baby!

And if you’re just ordering one or two small things (Zippits, Proud Parent Pins, etc) we have a smaller version (10″x10″) of our Gift Tote so your little prezzies aren’t floating around in a big ole canvas bag. It’s a great way to wrap up all the fun stuff you got from Wry Baby. Just $9.99 at wrybaby.com (available at checkout).

Our very favoritest design blog, designworklife.com, just released their 2011 Gift Guide and our resident “infant mentalist” was included! You can find Mysterio presiding over page 17 in the kiddos section, but have a flip through the whole guide if you have a sec. Wonderful gift ideas for the designers on your list.

Small petss, that is. Wry Baby HQ is located in the small, historic Downtown district of Mooresville, NC, as are many other small mom-and-pop businesses. We often get together to collaborate and share ideas to help each other grow and recently a neat thing happened out of that kind of get-together.

The owner of Window Wear Design, designers and fabricators of custom window treatments, started making pet clothes from her old curtain sample remnants. She calls them Pet Raggs. We happened to have a bunch of old Best In Show Snapsuits™ that we found hiding in our warehouse and thought maybe she could use ‘em in some way. Boy did she.

The Best In Show Pet Raggs come in a TON of different trimmings and they’re only $28 ea.! Call Linda at 704-664-0881 if you’re interested in one as a gift (they’re currently only available in-store on Main Street) and Linda will get you all taken care of.

Doing a little exploratory doodling here for an exciting new project here at Wry Baby HQ. Thought we’d share a page of swarthily bearded dudes for fun. Did you know we illustrate everything we make? From Mysterio to our new Screamin’ Demon Snapsuit™ to our New Parents’ Fun Book it’s all one guy drawing that stuff (Wry Baby Dave). I know, right?
