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.

It being St. Patricks’ Day and all, I thought I’d write about a different kind of green. As in our greener than green organic baby clothes and outfits. The whole darn earth-loving line was spotted as a feature on inhabitots (the green baby blog) and we’re tickled, um, green? It’s a great article and as the esteemed Desmond Williams puts it:

“…you’ve got to see this onesies logo, based on hairy armpits for yourself.”

Ah yes, the classic Living an Organic Lifestyle slays again. For those looking to score a little green of their own for hemp-wallet-friendly price, head over to Wry Baby’s Limited Thingys page to score our Ask Me About My Compost Pile Gift Set for a giant $10 OFF (offer ends March 31)!!

Earnshaw’s magazine is the baby biz’s bellwether for what’s new, fun and cool in the land of baby clothes and cool baby shower gifts. We at Wry Baby were extra excited to see that Angela Velasquez included our fun baby blanket/hat combo, “You Wake Me, You Take Me” in her PAMPERED section. Thanks, Angela!

You can find this fun baby shower gift at wrybaby.com for $34 or pick one up at any of our fun stores around the globe!

Awww. When Cost Plus World Market asked us to give the boring old hooded towel the Wry Baby treatment, the first place we went was Pirates. But Princesses were a close second! And the funnest part about doing the Princess Towel for World Market was creating a Bath Time Fairy Tale fit for a smelly, yet-to-be-bathed tot of royal blood. Here’s the fun label we created for the Cost Plus World Marktet Princess hooded towel:

Now, if you click above you’ll get a bigger view, but for the carpal tunnel crowd, here’s the whole bath time tale:

ONCE UPON A BATH TIME…

THERE WAS ONCE A LITTLE PRINCESS who was under the curse of a terrible Sea Dragon. The bad Dragon had made her so stinky and smelly, that not one of her  subjects would play with her. This made the Princess sad. Very smelly, and very sad.

Her father, the King, had an idea. He would give the Princess a nice, long warm bath. Perhaps that would lift the curse! They scrubbed and scrubbed until finally the Princess smelled like a field of pretty flowers!

The bad Dragon took one whiff of the little Princess and sneezed so hard (for most Dragons are allergic to flowers, you know) that he was blown far, far away. And the Princess lived cleanly ever after. THE END.

Looking for the perfect baby gift for a little princess in your life? Guide all the King’s horses over to worldmarket.com or rescue one from the ogres at your local World Market!

Of all the internet orders we receive in a day here at Wry Baby, there are always one or two funny baby gift purchases a week that are works of art. We witness the work of a true power baby gift shopper and we light candles in recognition of their thrifty brilliance. One such order came in today and as I scrolled down deeper and deeper into their purchased items, I had to go back up to the dollar total at the top to make sure I didn’t mess up one of our promotional codes (I often do that. Sometimes to a ridiculous extent).

Here’s what they got, and please note that all this totaled less than $100 with shipping included (we pause to light another candle):

Heck, this load of terrificly unique baby shower gifts actually barely broke $90 once shipping was added! And for the best funny baby clothing company out there, they didn’t order a stitch of it. Oh, sure they got our two best selling books (Safe Baby Handling Tips & Safe Baby Pregnancy Tips), Our now-famous Wheel of Responsibility, our version of a baby journal, the New Parents’ Fun Book, our hilarious diaper bag flair for Mom and Dad and the painfully funny Dad gag, the Hey Dad To-Do Pad, but still. What a fun baby shower package, right? And for those who want all the savings with less work, check out our discounted Wry Baby gift sets!
