New to Stork - Luvali Reversible Baby/Kids Hats

Love these new hats! They’re great quality and ever so soft… best of all, it’s like getting 2 hats for the price of one. What’s more, they fit babies and kids all the way up to 5 years of age.

My favourite is the “Lonkey” but I think the “Buppy” would be really cute on a little puppy and/or bunny lover.

Lil Jo’s NHL All-Leather Baby Shoes - For Lil Hockey Fans

The Stork boys are big hockey fans (well, at least their dad is), so we thought that in that spirit we would bring in some National Hockey League gear. Here’s what we found:

Lil Jo’s NHL Officially Licensed all-leather baby shoes. We’ve started with the 6 Canadian teams in sizes 0-6 months, 6-12 months and 12-18 months. If you love them, we’ll get more! They retail for $27.99.

New Product - Mashala Baby Organics - Tried, Tested and True

Massage is an ancient form of baby relaxation and parent-baby bonding that mothers all over the world have been relying on for as long as they’ve had babies! Baby massage is used to soothe the newborn, relieve colic, heal dry skin on babies and kids of any age, help babies sleep, or clear a stuffy nose or chest. The benefits are endless, but the biggest benefit is the bond that is built between parent and child as they spend time together, emotionally and physically connecting.

Mashala Baby Organics - Organic Blessings Set

Whether you are expecting a baby, already have one (or more), or know someone who is, Mashala Baby Organics has the perfect products for you.  I received a sample of each of their massage oils, Newborn, Calm & Comfort, Gentle Vapor and Daily Use plus an adorable little pillow to hang on the doorknob that says “SHhhhh… Infant Massage in Progress”.  After testing each one, I’m sold. This would make a great gift for a first-time parent… and now, we have it for you at StorkBabyBoutique.Com.

Mashala Baby Organics is a Canadian mom-founded company that has a nice story behind it. It’s the merging of two ethnicities from two sides of a family, both putting an importance on infant massage for many generations. The recipes, passed down from great grandmother to grandmother to mother to daughter, are the backbone of Mashala Baby Organics. The oils are all-natural and organic, and feature ingredients such as olive oil, holy basil and chamomile.

The oils can be purchased individually, or as part of one of 3 gift sets - we at Stork love the Organic Blessings  set.  It includes a beautiful wooden barrel filled with each of the four different massage oils, and a special sign for baby’s bedroom door to let people know “Shhh! Baby Massage in Progress.

The oils are all lovely - they’re not strongly scented, which is very important for a small baby (and for sensitive parents). Even the Gentle Vapor oil is mildly scented; just enough vapor for a baby to feel its gentle effects. The cost of the set is $32.99 and  any mom will love it.   The best part, it comes with easy to follow instructions on how to do infant massage - nothing too complex (the simpler the better for new parents, right?)

Stork is going to give away a set of each of the 4 massage oils and a “Sshh massage in progress” door sign/pillow to one lucky Stork Stuff reader.

Knuckleheads and Hula Mula - better than ever!

Escondido Ski Hat

In a market that is notoriously limited for boys clothing, Knuckleheads Clothing has created a line that moms and kids will love, and dads will envy too.  This season boys can score kid-durable, super soft extra washed long-sleeve tees; vintage inspired striped polos that no kid from the 60’s would have been without; and some new twists. The line also features some of their tried and true classics like their adorable pub hats and skate caps, and the bestselling Knuckleheads Hoodie.

Rugrat Shirt

Moms with fashionable girls can feast their eyes on Knuckleheads’ sister line Hula Mula.  This season’s dresses are the thing in a strong palette of black and white houndstooth accented with fuschia.  Hula Mula is also a 2008 Earnie nominee for best new brand, in overall design.

Rude Girl Dress

And for moms whose boys and girls are not yet tots the season includes their popular infant line of soft comfy one-pieces, rompers, and onesies.

For celeb watchers out there, here is Caden Costner in the classic Knucklehead “Face Tee”.

The Stork families personal favorites are the Rugrat Shirt and Escondido Ski Hat from Knuckleheads and the Rude Girl Dress from Hula Mula (gotta love the design names!).

This is the line that inspired the creation of Stork (the online store) and Stork Stuff (the blog).  I first came across the Knuckleheads brand in 2005 when I was searching for hip clothes for my son Dexter. 

So, feel free to shop now for Fall ‘08 items, which we’ll continue to receive over the next month or so, and shop again in late Oct/early Nov for the holiday lines (lots of bold stripes and strong reds and blacks). 

Green to Grow Baby Bottles

Finally, by popular demand, we have BPA-free, phthalate-free baby bottles at Stork. We choose to carry Green to Grow because of their responsible company philosophy, their superior product, and as with all Stork products, their style!

It’s so much fun to give baby bottles as a gift when they look adorable AND you know that they are safe for little mouths and tummies.

These bottles come in 2 styles, regular and wide neck, and 2 sizes, 5 oz and 10 oz. At Stork, prices range from $8.99 to $12.49. Two-bottle packs are available and offer great savings.
