With many vendors/booths at the show, we have highlighted our favorite Baby/Tween Companies we met at the show including their websites and more information about their company.
Many items at the convention were invented by moms that just wanted to make life a little better for themselves. One of these products are Hot Mama Gowns invented by Deidrea Haysel. A Hot Mama Gown is an extremely useful and fashionable alternative to the hideous hospital gowns that women typically wear during and after they give birth. Instead of the faded pale blue, paper stiff gowns that usually are completely open all the way down a woman’s backside, a woman can now feel comfortable and fashionable in a gown made out of soft 100% organic material. The gowns come in a variety of sizes and colors, have easy access to breast feeding without needing to halfway undress yourself and have snaps all the way down the back. A Hot Mama Gown is a perfect baby shower gift because it is unique and there isn’t a woman out there that would rather wear a used hospital gown over a Hot Mama Gown if they had the choice.

Some of the cutest bibs or “bibbie’s” that you’ll ever see come from dillydally. A dillydally bibbie is a 1950’s inspired vintage style bib that will make any kid look fashionable. They also will protect your child’s clothes from just about anything. They are reversible and come in a variety of styles and colors. The bibbies have won “The Moms Best Award” for having a high quality useful product. To see some bibbies visit www.dillydallychic.com.
Another very useful product are the SwellyBelly Bands. These are stretchy tube like material that cover a women’s belly before or after they have birth. They feel great on the belly and are perfect if you need to breast feed by pulling up your shirt because the SwellyBelly Bands keep the stomach covered. They come in solids and a variety of fashionable prints. To see some SwellyBelly Bands visit www.shopninemoons.com
If you are a stylish, modern mom that needs a baby sling to hold your little bundle of joy so you can have your hands free you don’t have to look any further than www.modmum.com. There are a variety of sizes, patterns and colors to choose from. We have been using ours and they are great to carry your babies in.
More great gift ideas are personalized embroidered baby items from Bubbies Goodies. For instance, a burp rag with your child’s name on it or something funny like “spit happens” or “future diva”. They also do little baby shirts that are framed behind glass that have the babies name, date that they were born, and how many pounds they way.

A very creative product for teen girls is a jacket from Mia My. The jackets are all white and come with markers. It’s basically a blank canvass for whatever you want to create. You can personalize your jacket to look like no other jacket in the world. You can draw flowers, write your name, draw pictures or what ever you want in a variety of colors. The beauty of this product is that if you get tired of your design or what to create something new, all you have to do is throw the jacket in the wash and all the ink from the jacket washes clean. It’s the gift that keeps on giving because the possibilities are endless. To see these creative jackets visit www.miamy.com
