Meet our Canvas Tote Bag Gift Wrapping!

Wry Gang — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 20:22:14 +0000

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).

Mysterio Is Returning in December with 6 New Futures!

Wry Gang — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 17:57:02 +0000

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.

And if you just want to check back to see if the new shirts are in, visit Mysterio’s mysterious little corner at Wry Baby.

Funny Baby Book Makes Lousy Child Psychology Book.

Wry Gang — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 14:55:18 +0000

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?

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.

Mysterio Predicts is a special guest and co-contributer to Raising Funny People – The Wry Baby Blog. Wry Baby, makers of funny baby clothes, unique baby shower gifts and fun gifts for new parents bring you Mysterio Predicts every Monday here at wrybaby.com/blog.

To learn more about Mysterio, or purchase Mysterio’s popular baby tee shirts featuring Mysterio’s predictions of your baby’s amazing future, visit Mysterio’s corner of Wry Baby at www.wrybaby.com/mysterio-predicts.aspx. You can write to Mysterio at mysterio@wrybaby.com but be aware that not only is he very busy with his predictions and may not reply right away, he is also kind of a jerk. All the great ones are.
