Children add a special touch to any wedding party, and little girls in particular represent all the sweetness and charm of the bride herself. They like to dress up, and there is nothing more special to them, than the honor of being chosen as a flower girl.

Toddlers and pre-schoolers are at that halfway point in “growing up”- somewhere between being a baby, and a big kid, who won’t need step stools to reach everything.
But they’re mobile now, and that first taste of independence makes them want even more. Now you can give them a step up to doing things on their own, with finely crafted step stools that will raise them up to where they can get what they want safely, instead of dragging something unstable over to a cupboard and climbing on that.
What you buy, doesn’t need to be solely utilitarian, either. Hats Off makes a hand-painted step stool that features hats, and other dress up items. It fits perfectly into any room where a little one will need it, including the bathroom and kitchen.

When it comes to showers for the new arrival, baby clothes are at the top of the list for many new mothers. And it leaves the gift giver, a lot of room for choice and creativity.
Very young infants have a way of managing to go through their entire supply of rompers, before Mom can get to the laundry. Not to mention those times when you have the little one all ready to go for a visit, then discover that a diaper didn’t hold, and you need a quick change.
Baby clothes don’t have to be given for immediate use, either. Think ahead, because before you know it, that little sprite may have outgrown their first outfits, and are stretching up to the next size.
