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!

Pacifier cases. They exist, but they’re pretty boring and pretty impractical. Why? Because having a safe place to stash a pacifier is only half the problem. Once you successfully pop a soaking wet pacifier into a case, you’ve got some disgusting prospects to face when you need to unpack it later. That’s why Wry Baby designed our new ZIPPIT™ Pacifier Cases with…wait for it… an air vent! So those little life-savers get a chance to dry out before you need them again! Oh, and you WILL need them again.

We call it the Gormm-o-Vent™ and it’s ridiculously revolutionary. The cases themselves are made of neoprene and come with a sturdy swivel hook so you can just snap our case onto your diaper bag or stroller, belt loop or bracelet and hit the road. No fuss. And, finally, no muss!

As we round the corner and head into the week before the New York International Gift Fair, we feel we need to share some super bad news with you all. It’s true that Wry Baby is launching 30 NEW fun products in NY and among them is the brand new…wait for it…Super Bad Super Snapsuit!

We were hoping to add onto our popular line of Super Snapsuits and were working on doing just that in our underground laboratory when suddenly a radioactive cobra bit Dave and a team of highly trained monkey ninjas blew the place up. From the wreckage came this, the Super Bad Super Snapsuit! It’s not available in stores this Spetember, but we thought you’d like some sneak peeks at what will be available this Fall. Want to know when they go on sale? Like us on the Facebooks and we’ll letcha know when they’re out in the wild!

We’re preparing for our big New York International Gift Fair and this graphic explains all: Why we haven’t been blogging or twittering much, Why we haven’t been playing properly with our playmates, why my drawing hand hurts so bad, why our complexions are so pasty and our eyes so baggy. We can’t wait to share with you all what we’ve been so busily doing over here at Wry Baby HQ! The theme of this year’s NYIGF is “New Rules”. Apparently we can’t agree more!

The product line-up from Wry Baby for the August NYIGF. Make new stuff much?

It’s mid-January, which means it’s time for us to go nuts getting ready for the big New York International Gift Fair (Jan. 30-Feb. 4). We’ll have a ton of new fun stuff to launch (more Snapsuits™!). For weeks we’ve been designing our brains out. Below are some snaps we took of some sketches & doodles. Super rough, but that’s how we roll until final ink hits paper and paper hits scanner. Did you know all our designs are hand-drawn by Wry Baby artisans? True!

Well, it might as well be a nutshell. Despite launching the most new fun baby clothes and accessories ever, when we broke down the new booth every single thing we offer fit in this little box! Crazy!

A testament to our new packaging, all 15 new baby gifts along with 36 other fun baby items fit in this bitty widdle box!

It was sort of all a blur. That’s how the big August show has gone in the past and it was nice (“in this economy”) to have it back! For the first time, stores from all over the world were introduced to Wry Baby’s signature Snapsuit™ in three new colors (Grape, Tomato and Gooseberry) and with 13 fun, new designs! They also come in some sexy, brand new packaging that’ll be easier to gift wrap and easier to spot from across a crowded boutique. Below I’m posting some scenese from the show and some of the favorite designs you’ll see in a fun store near you around the end of September. Keep your eyes peeled!

Our shiny new booth at the New York International Gift Show. A neat, modern line-up of our newest, brightest, funniest baby clothes ande accessories.

Of the 15 new funny baby clothes and accessories we launched this week, Future Cougar was considered the best. But it was close! Pretty much everything we launched was a hit and a half. Above is a nice shot of our new, slim packaging, too.

At the end of the NYIGF, we usually grab some beers and head to the roof of our favorite hotel on the Upper West Side for a little R&R before heading home. Here’s a shot of our 3rd Grade Chess Champion schooling his Pop. And, yes, that’s a Mario Bros. themed chess board!

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.

Kelly and I loves us our iPhones. It’s no secret that we also love being parents. So it’s only fitting we should meld our favorite life-changing things together: iPhone + Parenting = ?

Wry Baby’s been working super hard with the good people at Paze Interactive to bring you a little prezzie for your pocket. It’s in Apples approval hopper now and we expect to launch in Apple’s iTunes App Store in a couple of weeks. Anyone care to guess what our first Wry Baby iPhone App might be? The first person who correctly guesses what our iPhone app is (in the comments to this post) will be sent a FREE original, analog version of our Wry Baby iPhone app’s inspiration.* Go nuts and have fun!

• CONTEST RULES: Friends and family are totally excluded becuase they should be punished for being in our inner circle and because we probably already told them all about this. Entrants must supply us with their real email addresses because if you win, we’ll have to email you to find out where you want your prize sent. Contest results will be posted after our fun new app launches (approx. two weeks from 3/9/09). By entering, you agree that Wry Baby reserves the right to make (and own outright) an iPhone app of any guesses regardless of how ridiculous, physically impossible, fiscally irresponsible, pattently imporbable or plain, flat-out genius.

So what would you like your child to be? A savvy city dweller like yourself? A Rock Star? Perhaps in these economic times just having a plain old Rich Kid would suit the bill. Our Spring 09 line of new baby outfits are now available at a store near you and, secretly, on wrybaby.com. These classic cotton snapsuit and black legging sets will turn your baby into the Instant Rock Star (Let’s Trash This Place!), Instant Urbanite (Yo! Taxi!) or Instant Rich Kid (Ask Me About My Trust Fund.) of your dreams.

Be the first on your block to be the coolest parent ever…Instantly!

Each outfit comes in a snazzy gift box and are just $32 ea. at a store near you, or at wrybaby.com And if your favorite store doesn’t have them, let us know! Help us get in there and there might be something in it for you!
