Ladies, don’t you dare leave home without the Queen Bee Travel Diaper Bag from Bumble Bags. ($300) You’ll never have more storage options, and you’ll never look better carting stuff around. We’re talking Italian cowhide leather, baybee, and 18K gold hardware. It’s 13” H x 6” W x 13” L, with ten pockets for wipes, diapers, bottles, cells, keys, iPods, etc. If you run out of storage, you need to pare down. But you’ll still look great!

You won’t get these moments back, so you’d better document them. Baby Tales from Tiny Tales ($30 and up) tracks the entire first year of baby’s life, from first tooth to first word to first diaper blowout. (Okay, maybe not ALL of the first year.) It’s got two 4×6 notepads (25 sheets each), four dividers (one for each three months) and an acrylic box with flip lid. Classy and priceless.

She’s got Bumble Bells ($40 ea., or $75 per pair) that jingle jangle jingle. These gorgeous 925 sterling silver anklets feature teeny little bells that let you know when your child is up and ready to go. They’re a beautiful investment set, as they’ll be around long after baby outgrows them. Which won’t be for a long time: size A runs to 9 months, and size B runs to 4 years old. Plenty of time to make some noise.

Mothers, you know how rough the period after birth can be, mentally and physically. You need all the help you can get. Start with LuSa Organics Postpartum Herbs. ($12.50) This blend cools, soothes and heals every time. Just steep each bundle until cool, pour into a spray bottle, and spritz your lady bits. Instant physical relief.

Ever have one of those arguments where your little brother tried to grub your food and you were all like “Yo, this is MY plate!” and he was all like “I don’t see your name on it!”? You should’ve had Personalized Ceramics. ($118) This 3-piece set comes monogrammed for easy identification. And yeah, it comes in three beautiful colors and is all dishwasher and microwave safe. But really it’s about marking your territory. Oh, sorry: marking your child’s territory.

Cue up the Velvet Underground and trip back to The Factory with this 4 panel Warhol-style Portrait. ($139) This is a truly unique work of art, and we think Andy would approve. Just send in a picture of your boy or Femme Fatale, choose your material and that’s it: singular Pop-Art in 14-21 business days. Hey, your child is a lot more artistic than a soup can.

Wow. No signs of recession here! The Aristabrat King of Kings Crystal Rattle ($129.95) is bling-to-the-extreme for a gilded age that won’t quit. Over 800 Swarovski crystals shimmer like the northern lights, and the rattle comes wrapped in ribbons on a black velvet pillow. And it won Best of Show in the 2008 Magic Fashion Show. Ridiculously luxe and award winning: does it get any better in a rattle?

Yeah, it is a diaper bag. But the Diaper Dude Dad Survivor Kit ($110) will make dad forget he’s carting around diapers and wipes. It’s much more messenger bag than diaper bag, at least in design. It’s sleek black-and-gray polyester finish earns hipster cred. But yes it is a diaper bag, and it has all the pockets and compartments you‘d expect. Hey, being a dad doesn’t mean you have to look like a father.

You’ve already got one, but your messenger bag is only carting around the latest Maxim. Step up to the Diaper Dude Messenger Bag. ($135) This pleather bag is totally sharp, not to mention manly. And it’s totally loaded: huge main compartment, pockets for bottles, wipes, snacks, cellphone, bib & utensils, changing pad, even a dad checklist. Wear this and you’ll look like you’re carrying around something really worth reading, instead of Maxim. (Shhh…we won’t tell.)

Hang it by the door for family access, or fold it up and take it to go. Either way, you’ll still be way more organized than dad.
