Get your little goblin ready for Halloween with the Alien Onesie from Dirty Water. (Retails vary) This friendly little alien guy is sure to get your baby a few extras in their candy bag. (Just make sure they’re wearing something other than this onesie. Nobody likes a shivering baby.) All graphics are hand appliquéd for that extra lovin’ touch. That’s high-quality cute in our book.

Sweep the Leg! Your little one will have more kung-fu game than Ralph Macchio ever dreamed of in the Baby Infant Kimono Wrap from Westcoast Baby. ($24.95) But they’re not just cute; they’re also practical. Designed for newborns and preemies, the bottomless design allows for easy diaper changes. And opening the ties allows for skin-to-skin breastfeeding. Oh, okay – they’re cute too. Halloween just took care of itself.
No. Freakin’. Way. That’s all we can say about the DadGear Cargo Jacket. ($92) Yes, it’s an incredibly cool jacket. But. IT’S ALSO A DIAPER BAG. Yes, this jacket is a diaper bag. Seriously. It converts from messenger bag diaper bag to jacket with pockets for everything from diapers (duh) to wipes to bottles to cells and MP3s. How unbelievably cool is this? We can’t even say.
With a slogan like “I’m Organic”, it’s got to be organic, right? Why yes it is! The “I’m Organic” Tee from eco ike ($24) is 100% organic cotton with 100% organic water-based inks. An adorable (not as adorable as yours, of course, but y’know…) little guy forms the “O” in the design, creating two points of “awww”. Cozy, cute and organic. Anything else is pretty much worthless.
There will never be another baby like yours, and there will never be another blanket like the Charmed Baby Blanket from Bubblecakes Baby. ($40) This 30” x 40” beauty is monogrammed with your baby’s name, in your choice of font. But this isn’t just any bland, generic monogrammed blanket: it’s a very groovy design; purple paisley on orange stripes in super-soft cotton and chenille. Your one-and-only will love this one-and-only.
Juicy indeed. The Juicy Couture Infant’s Sock Gift Set from Saks ($38) is all about showing off your little diva in style. This three-pack includes the messages “Kiss Me I’m Juicy”, “Love Juicy” and “Juicy Loves…” (Save that one for later.) The socks come in a nifty little candy-wrapper package. Ah, young bling.
I have a feeling we’re not in Big Box land anymore. The Mary Jane Shoes from Dolce & Gabbana ($115) are bling to the extreme. They are, of course, pure leather, with major metallic finish and metal Dolce & Gabbana logo attached. Perfect for high-end urban strutting and shopping, these kicks are Glamour, with a capital G. Click your heels three times: there’s no shoes like these, there’s no shoes like these…
It’s not really that we want babies to burp and drool, but with the Peanut Organic Burpcloth & Bib Set from Kee-Ka ($25), it’s just so damn cute! And this set can handle it, being made of 100% Organic Certified cotton and featuring Velcro closures and total machine wash and dry toughness. If daddy burped and drooled with this set, we’d be worried. But you’ll love having it for your wee one.
Ah, you’ll love these when it’s diaper blow-out time. Onesie Extenders ($5.95) are a snap-on dream. They attach to onesies and tops, allowing extra room for (overstuffed) diapers, and the removal thereof. What a great idea!
