Hey, the funny political gear we did exclusively for Barneys NY got a little ink in the Style Section of the NY Times this week! Our popular political bibs may be out of stock on wrybaby.com, but Barneys NY has some left! Our favorite, “VETO VEGGIES” went fast over at wrybaby.com, so get thee to Barneys if you want to snap one up. Because, like our retirement accounts, when they’re gone, they’re gone for good!

As Ellen Tien writes in NY Times’ PULSE: Purple may be the color of the season, but in the weeks before Election Day, there’s no shortage of red, white and blue. Clothing and jewelry designers are intent on making their own fashionable political statements, be they general exhortations to vote or support for specific candidates. Here are several pieces that seem to be winning the popular vote.

We’re the first slide, too! Yay! But get a load of the second slide. Kinda flippin’ amazing.

Last Summer, at the New York International Gift Fair, a video crew from Gifts.com popped into our booth to do a bit on our super-fun Super Snapsuits for the Gifts.com site. So with lights glaring and surrounded by our fun trade show neighbors (who were merciless with their distracting antics, thankyouverymuch), we shot this little press promo for our Super Snapsuit. While painful in the extreme for me to watch (I’m terrible!), it may be fun for you to sit through. But only if you have plenty of adult beverages on hand and if you take a big, long drink every time I say “zoom” or “zooming“. Hey, I was making it up on the fly (so to speak)!

The Wry Baby Super Snapsuit comes in both Boy and Girl flavors and is available at wrybaby.com for the super sum of just $30. An hilarious gift and a treat to bring to any mommy group or doctor check-up. See more of Wry Baby’s unique baby gifts and funny baby clothes at wrybaby.com

Wry Baby’s Wheel of Responsibility was given a whole giant page all to it’s lonesome in the June issue of Pregnancy & Newborn Magazine! Wooo! Wooo! Wooo!

And The Winner Is…Tired of fighting over whoese turn it is to change that dirty diaper or roll out of bed for the midnight feeding? Argue no more with this nifty little tool-simply spin the wheel and let fate decide who loses this round. (and if we find a way to make it permanently land on “Dad”, we’ll let you know…)

OMG. Everyone wants it to land on Dad! When we do the big, fat New York International Gift Fair, that’s the main point of discussion with visitors to the Wry Baby booth. We’ve considered everything from simple rigging with tape to complex magnetic systems like they use on roulette wheels in Monte Carlo.

While we’ve resisted the temptation for all Dad-kind, we did tilt the odds in Moms favor on the cover of our best-selling Safe Baby Pregnancy Tips. Off all 8 pies, only one is labeled “Mom”. Happy spinning!

The Wheel of Responsibility makes a great baby shower gift. Just $11.95 at wrybaby.com.

Wry Baby’s much passed-around-the-internets Safe Baby Pregnancy Tips is available at wrybaby.com for just $9.95.

I’m no photographer. Most everyone who knows me knows I suck at that. Below should convince the world that not only should I never go near a camera, I should stand way back from the front of cameras in the future.

That said, we can move on to important things. Like Wry Baby’s unique baby gifts rocking the latest issue of Earnshaw’s Magazine with both The New Parents’ Fun Book AND Wry Baby’s Pillowcases for New Parents. Oh, you don’t get Earnshaws Magazine? Then you must not be one of the hottest boutique gift stores in the US of A. Or maybe someone keeps stealing your copy from your office in the headquarters of the big department store you work at. Here’s what Earnshaw’s had to say in the New Lines section about Wry Baby’s new baby journal, The New Parents’ Fun Book:

Infant apparel and accessories manufacturer Wry Baby of Mooresville, N.C., reinvents the baby journal with a humorous activity book. “The New Parents’ Fun Book” is filled with games, puzzles and comical crafts. Published by Running Press, the 96-page book is filled with CurseWord puzzles, Poop Cahrts, Nickname Maker-Uppers, quizzes, and photo and journal pages…Visit wrybaby.com

Hooray! Wry Baby made it into coolmompicks.com’s Father’s Day Gift Guide! Our fun “posterpad” with the long, long title, Hey, Dad! Life As You Know It Is Over! Posterpad was picked by coolmompicks.com as a great Father’s Day gift for the new Dad. This is super special for us for two reasons:

1. We L-O-V-E coolmompicks.com. Always something cool over there. You gots to see.
2. We love the Wry Baby New Dad To-Do pad

The Card to Match: We’re on the fence about cards for dads-to-be. Instead, get him the Dad To-Do list and write him thoughtful note, you know, along with the list of baby gear he needs to assemble. ($11.99 at Wry Baby).

Basically, the Wry Baby New Dad To-Do Pad is just that; a to-do pad cleverly attached to an oversized hanging backboard. The card is full of great jokes poking fun at “Dad’s Exciting New Life”.
