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 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.!

Looking for a unique baby gift for that fancy baby shower? Looking to wow the other Mommies in your Mommy group with a baby accessory that’s totally off the wall? Look no further than Wry Baby’s Welcome to Motherhood Burp Cloth Set! Two super thick, double layered cotton burp cloths look like kitchy retro-dishtowels, but spout some modern mommy sentiment. One burp cloth, sporting a young miss toiling over a stove while hubby makes tracks for the golf course, states, “I Didn’t Sign Up For This!”. The other burp cloth features the party Mom who shrugs, “I Guess I’ll Never Be Mother Of The Year!”.

We know so many non-traditional Moms and thought this the perfect gift for those who don’t necessarily fit that stereotypical Mommy-mold forged in the 50′s. And who doesn’t know someone like that!? Heck, you probably ARE someone like that!

Yeah, that’s right, two generously sized, lushly thick cotton burp cloths in each set. Pictured above are sides one and two of this fun set. Brand new and available now at wrybaby.com for just $24.

Wry Baby may not make diaper bags (YET), but we do make the best darn flair for diaper bags you’ve ever seen. Those pins up in our masthead? Yeah, they’re just the tip of an enormous iceberg of wit and irony that can only come from the funny baby clothes making minds at Wry Baby. We’ve gotten a few emails asking why there are pins seemingly in existence that don’t appear in our packaged sets for Mom and Dad.

We actually make a whole lot more pins that are only available in the bevy of fun boutiques that carry Wry Baby. Next time you’re in your favorite shoppe, look for our big bucket of 300 (YES!) Proud Parent Pins and dig in! Here’s a handy chart showing all that’s available (click it to make it bigger):

Wry Baby’s most plentiful of unique of baby gifts, the Proud Parent Pins, have been featured on the Dallas Morning News, the Mom Salon, the NJ Star Ledger and Parenting Magazine.

Proud Parent Pins make a great baby shower gift and are available en masse in your favorite local gift store or packaged in sets for Mom or Dad online at wrybaby.com for just $9.

Wry Baby has a treat for you seekers of cool baby gifts. Wry Baby’s new Welcome to Motherhood Burp Cloth Set, the latest cool baby shower gift from Wry Baby, is finally here and available in cool baby stores worldwide and at wrybaby.com. The Welcome to Motherhood Burp Cloths look like retro dishtowels from an era when a woman’s place was supposedly in the kitchen, but the sentiments on these funny burp cloths are true to any modern mama. Wry Baby wanted to poke fun at those stereotypes of motherhood and these two burp cloths set the tone appropriately. Writes one early report:

A new mother slaving over a hot stove holding a screaming newborn while Dad cuts out for a round of golf exclaims, “I DIDN’T SIGN UP FOR THIS!”

The party Mom with the smokes and a martini shrugs off her shortcomings with “I GUESS I’LL NEVER BE MOTHER OF THE YEAR”.

Each Wry Baby burp cloth set contains the two funny designs on a nice, congratulatory header card. Below you’ll see what I’m talking about or you can cruise to wrybaby.com for a closer look.

Above, Wry Baby’s brand new cool baby gift, the Welcome To Motherhood Burp Cloth Set. Two thick, double layered 100% cotton burp cloths that are so soft, and so nice, you’ll want to sew them together as a nice summer blankie for yourself. Because you’re totally selfish like that. Be the first on your block to sport Wry Baby’s new Burp Cloth set. Only $24 at wrybaby.com

Wry Baby co-founder and head writer, Kelly, is, right now, as I type, attending a cool baby shower. And what cool baby shower gifts does a Wry Baby-type person bring to the party? Not to be garish, we stocked up on some registered goodies and then padded the assortment with Wry Baby’s cool baby clothes and some other cool shower gifts from Wry Baby, of course. Kelly packed a great little basket of our popular baby toy Attack of the 50 ft. Baby Stacking Blocks (the only stacking blocks made to knock down), a “Super Cute” Super Snapsuit and, my favorite cool shower gift, Wry Baby’s Extra Nipples.

Why Extra Nipples? Wry Baby believes everyone can use some extra nipples and with a new baby in the house, the need for extra nipples is never more urgent. Nursing moms from all over the country have praised Wry Baby’s extra nipples. Cool Mom Picks (coolmompicks.com) and Babygadget.com have both recognized the obvious genius of Wry Baby’s Extra Nipples. One size fits all and they’re so easy to apply that even Dad can use them. There are drawbacks and they’re listed boldly on each package. Do not get them wet or your extra nipples could rust. They are not to be used for love making and you should always consult your doctor before using extra nipples. So go to wrybaby.com and pick up some extra nipples as a cool shower gift foryour next baby shower, whydon’tcha?
