This "sweet" little outfit will make such a cute baby gift. It comes already wrapped up like a lollipop and would make such a great conversation piece at the shower! Love this!

This little piggy...

This little piggy stuffed animal is just too cute for words! Seriously, look at it! It has a belly button...what could be cuter?

We just got him in at the shop as well as a cute little blanket with the "This little piggy went to market..." poem around the edges. Buy them both and you have a "pig in a blanket"...HA!

Calling all supermoms and supermoms-to-be:

New diaper bags are on their way!

I just love these diaper bags because they're bright, modern, fun, easy to clean (inside and out), affordable and fashionable! Plus they come with some extra accessories and, my favorite part, they can be repurposed as a cute beach bag, snazzy briefcase or stand-out luggage when baby is older and out of the diaper bag!

I'll update as soon as they're in, but with all of the baby registries we've had recently I figured you'd all want to know what we have coming!

Whimsical

Everything about these bags (the fabric, the colors, the animals, those ribbons!) is super cute and just so much fun!

.....................................................

I could totally see all of these elements being incorporated into a baby's nursery.

BABYLEGS® -

cute, cute, cute! Legwarmers for babies and kids - especially great for crawlers and potty training kids - socks and tights too.

OH! And they support the Ronald McDonald House and several other very worthy causes!

From their website:

BabyLegs® became a leader in children's fashion when it created a new niche in the market for its original line of children's leg and arm warmers in 2005. Created by a mom to keep her daughter's legs warm while she was diaper free, BabyLegs® leg warmers quickly became a parenting essential because of their utility, practicality, and stylish appeal. In the fall of 2009, BabyLegs® expanded into children's hosiery with the introduction of baby socks and girls tights.

BabyLegs® legwarmers have been well celebrated; BabyLegs® was awarded the 2007 Best New Brand Earnie Award by Earnshaw's Magazine, a leading trade publication, for "Excellence in Children's Wear Design", and again awarded an Earnie in 2008 for "Excellence in Children's Hosiery." Most recently, BabyLegs® leg warmers were voted "Best Shower Gift" by readers of Pregnancy and Newborn Magazine. "The Original. Like you.," BabyLegs® strives to be a leader in all endeavors, from community outreach to synergistic partnerships.

WUBBANUB -

a pacifier and lovie all in one - two of baby's favorite things combined - also solves the "missing pacifier" problem once and for all.

And country singer Dierks Bentley (and daddy to Baby Evie) is a big fan of Wubbanubs and even wrote a song about them that he sings to his daughter!

From their website:

Necessity is the mother of invention... A mother's love for her fussy child sparked inventiveness and ingenuity to create a revolutionary product which has been soothing baby's fussy time for over 10 years. Every parent will agree that they would do just about anything to soothe their crying child. Most parents also have their own "crying baby" horror stories which seemed to test their very sanity. The "Original" WubbaNub was created to solve a common dilemma most young families face.

The Birth of WubbaNub... They say "necessity is the mother of invention " and for Carla Schneider, it was an absolute necessity that she soothe her infant baby on their first vacation as a family. What was supposed to be a relatively relaxing, blissful time was replaced with non-stop fussing and crying. After an entire night of the ever-persistent "missing pacifier syndrome", Carla knew she needed to take matters into her own hands. She found the hotel sewing kit and took her baby's favorite soft plush toy and sewed the pacifier right onto it. Thus, a happy ending for the Schneider family's vacation and the birth of the first WubbaNub!

The luv for WubbaNub... Although pacifiers have been a family staple for numerous years, Carla's patented concept turned out to be a truly innovative improvement. Moms recognized the peaceful tranquility their children received and spread the word along to others. That word quickly spread to hospitals, who quickly recognized the products unique benefits. the slight weight of the plush animal keeps the pacifier in place near the baby. It also provides comfort and makes it so much easier for the baby to grasp and manipulate the pacifier themselves. Which means fewer bouncing, rolling and lost pacifiers and less rooting around in the stroller, crib or bag to find where the pacifier went.

WubbaNub has crated a reputation in the parenting and children's industry for being dedicated to nurturing babies in the safest, healthiest way possible. Over the last decade, WubbaNubs have been sold nationwide, converting a majority into die-hard fans because "once you go Wub, everything else is just a pacifier".

Even though Carla's children are not WubbaNub users anymore, her core philosophy to create products that she would feel safe giving them still holds true. WubbaNub strives to surpass the strictest codes and governmental regulations that ensure it is offering the best and safest WubbaNub products possible.

I'll keep you posted about the new lines that we're bringing into the shop and about when the Wubbanubs and BabyLegs start arriving. Stay tuned! And thanks again for your suggestions...keep 'em coming!

Lovies

I just love these new stuffed animals that are certified asthma and allergy friendly! That means something to me, Miss Allergy & Asthma! Do you know how excited my parents would have been to have found toys like these when I was little?

They've been tested for durability - meaning, not only will they hold up to being "loved" by children (i.e. dragged, dropped, thrown, sat on, chewed on, tugged, etc.) but the company also promises that they remain looking and feeling like new wash after wash. In addition, the quality and workmanship of the toys allow for the effective allergen reduction processes of freezing and drying too. They are safe for all ages and meet all "stuffed toy safety standards".

AND they're super cute!

They're perfect for any little one on your gift-giving list.

Christmas Gift Idea #1

With just over 2 weeks until Christmas I've noticed that there are still a lot of people hunting for "the perfect Christmas gift" for that special someone on their list. So I've decided that from now until the 24th that I'm going to post at least one gift idea every day. Hopefully these ideas will inspire those of you who are having "shoppers block" and will jumpstart your holiday shopping!

Gift Idea #1 is the Packin' Smart Stacking Storage Containers.

................

Yes, they were originally created as a way to keep up with the formula, cheerios, raisins and other baby-friendly snacks inside the diaper bag...but have caught on as so much more...the stack-and-lock style storage containers are a great way to

• to organize big-kid snacks like carrot sticks, pretzels and cookies for toddlers on the go in mommy's purse when the diaper bag is no longer an option.
• to carry snacks to church for kids who just can't make it through the service without needing a snack
• to organize small items in a purse ... candy, makeup, bobby pins, spare earrings, batteries, etc.
• to organize small office supplies - paper clips, rubber bands, staples, etc.
• to organize kitchen supplies - like spices and other small items - for easy access while cooking
• to organize pills and vitamins for easier storage - at home or on the road
• to organize snacks and small accessories in the car for kids or adults

So as you can see, these stackers are useful for everyone...not just for baby! There is no limit to how many you can stack and they're just so handy.

These would make great stocking stuffers too!

Comfy babies

You know that Ashley's Attic is the place to come to get unique baby gifts. Yeah, yeah, we have the classics...blankets, gowns, stuffed animals and baby books...but there is soooo much more in store for you when you come into the shop! When you're shopping for the hip and modern mommy...you want something really super special!

Just another example...

Babies love these soft and cushion-y rugs! and really, who can blame them? I want one big enough for me! These are great for tummy time, for naps, to lay on hard floors, or just as a really cute wall hanging or decoration in baby's room. We have monkeys, giraffes, pink and blue bears and lambs. These are the best shower gifts...we've gotten so many rave reviews from new mommies!

For the little sports fans

For the littlest of sports fans we have these great new gift items at the shop! Plush "my first" footballs, basketballs, soccer balls and baseballs...embroidered burp cloths...piggy banks...etc. Warren County is a sports town so these gifts have already been going great! They definitely make a statement...and they aren't team-specific, so they're appropriate for anyone! Come check them out!
