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).

For those of you who don’t know, we work with a mystic seer named Mysterio who predicts babies’ futures and prints them on little t-shirts. His line is a best-seller for Wry Baby and (many of you who know Mysterio already know this part) we’ve been out of stock for a bit. Mysterio’s very talented, but he’s pretty difficult to work with (he’s also kind of a jerk) and he hasn’t returned our many emails asking him when he’s sending us more shirts.

Well we just heard from him today and there’s lots of good news to report! Mysterio will be back in stock in early December AND he’s replaced 6 of his previous 12 futures with six new shiny ones! The only bad news is that he won’t say what they are. See? Kind of a jerk move, right?

Here’s a list of his past predictions for those of you who’d like to speculate as to which will be replaced and what the new ones might be:

Big Tipper
Game Show Host
Conspiracy Nut
Monkey Wrangler
Romance Novelist
Criminal Mastermind
Hog Calling Champion
Professional Bowler
Flamenco Dancer
Mafia Accountant
Dog Show Judge
Donut Tycoon

Want to get to know more about Mysterio? He may be a jerk, but he’s had some pretty exciting adventures. Like the time he was kidnapped by elves.

Our sporty pacifier cases are here and they are SO fun! Made of super colorful neoprene, each case stores up to two pacifiers and comes with a sturdy swivel hook so Moms-on-the-go can zip it, clip it and GO! There are 10 different designs so there’s something for everyone.

Cute, colorful and handy, but we haven’t even told you the best part. Each case comes with our special Gromm-o-vent™ that lets good air in and bad air out. Meaning that any slobbery pacifiers you store away on the run will have a chance to dry out before you need them again! Smart, right?

Looking for a unique accessory that’s as fun as it is smart? Looking for something that’s priced “FOR THIS ECONOMY?” Then head over to our new Zippit section at wrybaby.com or hit our handy Store Finder to see them in person! Zippit Pacifier Cases ~ only $10.50 ea.!

Just found out that our New Parents’ Fun Book is featured in the Cravings section of Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine!

The are puzzles, journal pages, paper crafts and even a board game for the parents to play to see who wins the chance to take a nap! Check out some of the pages over here at wrybaby.com.

Our funny baby book, the best-selling Safe Baby Handling Tips crops up in the darndest places. A fan sent us this photo of our funny baby book filed in the Child Psychology section at a Borders Books in California. I suppose that our handling tips can be helpful in some way. For the tragically idiotic, perhaps.

Did you know an author (or his/her publisher) has no real control over where your book is filed in those big box bookstores? True. Our other funny baby book, (our hilarious take on the baby journal, The New Parents’ Fun Book) is permanently housed a few books away from Dr. Spock in the Child Development section at both Borders and Barnes and Noble. Not with the other baby journals at all. Weird, no?

Argh! We Wry Baby folk be lucky to be spotted in Earnshaw’s Magazine. Aye, and it be our new Pirate Hooded Towel that be gettin’ all the glory! Ye won’t be findin’ it in stores, ye scurvy dogs, until later this year. But if ye be a land lubbin’ habedashery o’ sorts, ye can set sail fer the NYIGF ‘n get a glass eye full o’ our fare.

	Mysterio Predicts the Week of May 25, 2009 I see long, pinkish tubes of unspecified meat product sweating on a heated grate of some kind. It’s very confusing. I must seek further into the Future-realm for clarity after I finish this delicious hot dog.
