the Wry Baby Blog

The New York International Gift Fair is finally over, the Wry Baby booth is tucked away into it’s spankin’ new, customized  rock-star Roadie case and we’re back in the saddle here at Wry Baby HQ. It was great to see all our fun store friends and show off all the new goods we launched. Seven new Snapsuits will be coming to a store near you this week! Once we get that squared away, we’ll share all the newness with you! For now, here’s some snaps of our time in NY! Enjoy!

Our new custom case for the Wry Baby booth. Believe it or not, we could have had a dressing room built into it. Along with a big screen TV. No joke.

The whole shebang, all lined up and ready to go. Check out the new POP! Coming to stores soon!

Our Pirate Hooded Towels and Pirate Washcloths were a big hit this show!

See anything new? Someday I’ll Have a Hairy Chest and Someday I’ll Demand a Pony are coming joining the Snapsuit lineup this Spring.

All done! Wry Baby Kelly did all the heavy lifting. Dave just showed up to pose in this photo. Loser!

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!

When Wry Baby set out to give the classic baby book a face lift, we realized there were some things that couldn’t be thrown out with the bath water. This is a peek at The Wry Baby New Parents’ Fun Book’s version of the classic baby book list of firsts. You know, first baby smile, first baby words, first dirty diaper. All the important baby facts you must record for future generations. Well, first off, Wry Baby makes the list fun to fill by making it a fun sticker project! For each first baby tooth or first visitor, there’s a corresponding, colorfully witty sticker to mark the occasion along with some room to record the special date and specifics. In the end you have a colorful spread of your baby’s remarkable achievements. Take a look at Wry Baby’s “Book of Firsts” below. Just a taste of the fun activities that await lucky new parents in Wry Baby’s New Parents’ Fun Book!

The Wry Baby New Parents’ Fun Book is available June 2 from Wry Baby (www.wrybaby.com) A fantastic, wholly unique shower gift and perfect as a fun baby gift.

Kelly and I were in Target last week and we discovered that Target totally stole our Someday I’ll Demand A Pony outfit design AND our Photo With Baby Sanpsuit! And what’s worse, they look terrible! Wait. Maybe I should feel good about that. What’s with the camera illustration? Cheap! They’ve released our designs under their private label called “Look Who’s Talking”. Wry Baby’s been selling the Someday I’ll Demand A Pony outfit and the Photo With Baby Sanpsuit for a couple of years and Someday I’ll Demand A Pony’s been a perennial best-seller at www.wrybaby.com. We always wondered when we’d get lifted by Target and now we have. I guess we’ve arrived?

Everyone knows that places like Target can rip off little guys like us at Wry Baby because there’s nothing we can do about it. But you can. Please support us little guys by buying your fun baby gifts at Wry Baby instead of the knock-offs at Target. Kelly and I thank you!

The infinitely nicer Wry Baby outfit, Someday I’ll Demand A Pony is $35 at www.wrybaby.com
Photo with Baby 25¢ comes in a cute vinyl bag for $24 at www.wrybaby.com

Oh, and in case anyone from Target (or Look Who’s Talkin’) reads this, maybe you should rip off our popular Wry Baby twin set next:

The Wry Baby twin set is a great baby gift for, you know, twins.
Stop Copying Me double snapsuit pack is just $39 at www.wrybaby.com
