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).

Wry Baby teamed up with long-time-fun-friend, UncommonGoods, to make them some special, exclusive treats. Introducing Have-a-Ball Babysuits™! The perfect gift for the ultimate Sports Dad, both Baseball and Football babysuits also come with a 5″x 6″ instructional card illustrating how to best “get maximum enjoyment out of your new plaything”. Take one to your next sport-o baby shower and watch the crowd go wild! Now available only at uncommongoods.com for $28 ea.

Just a little hint-a-roo that there are some fun new things in the works over here at Wry Baby HQ. In fact we’ll have some “super big” news in time for the New York International Gift Fair (Baby & Child, Booth 5421) this August. Can’t wait to share!

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.

Wry Baby Dave, in Vegas on the last day of the ABC Kids Expo, riffing all impromptu-like about the newest offerings for the end of 2010. Click here to watch.

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.!

Deep within the depths of Wry Baby’s Crystal Fortress of Fun, Dave & Kelly strove to create a super suitable addition to their line of popular Super Snapsuits. Tragically, Dave was bitten by a radioactive cobra and a team of ninjas blew up their secret lab! But what of Wry Baby’s glorious ambition?

Wry Baby’s proud to present our newest Super Snapsuit, “Super Bad”! Super puffy printing on a deep green body, radioactive green trim and cape. Babies set on world domination can finally achieve it in style!

We’re also happy to report that “I’m Super” and “Super Cute” in 6-12 month sizes will be back in stock! Woohoo!

We were getting an email ready to send to all our fun stores next week telling them what’s heading their way. One of the little graphics turned out so fun we thought we’d share. We love animated gifs. Have a good weekend!

We told you about our revolutionary pacifier case venting system in the last post. Aside from our special Gromm-0-Vent™, our sturdy swivel hook and Zippits being made from ultra-light neoprene, our new Zippit Pacifier Cases come in 10 fun designs and in 5 bright, yummy colors!

Our design theme for this line was pretty clear and we had a ton of fun with the subject matter. From the bald truth of Mommy’s Little Helper and 100% Pure Baby Bliss to the edgy Punk-ifier, we put our finest wit to the task. We even got to borrow from our best-selling Snapsuit designs (Keep On Suckin’ and Pacifiy This!) to create an opportunity for some fun couplings for your next baby shower.

All in all, this is really fun little must-have baby accessory from Wry Baby for Mom’s on-the-go!

This is another product that Wry Baby is launching at the New York International Gift Fair on August 14, 2010. So this is NOT just a concept. it’ll be available this Fall. Want to know when? Like us on the Facebooks and we’ll letcha know when they’re out in the wild!
