I hated having to go to the mall to pick out and order Sebastian’s birth announcements from Papyrus.  I am all about convenience now and Internet shopping is about as convenient as it gets. Besides being able to buy clothes, electronics, books, etc, you can also design and order birth announcements on the Internet.

Announcements Galore, created by a mom, offers a beautiful selection of
4×6 photo announcements for just about any occasion including birth, graduation, weddings, and invitations.  Dawn started the business to provide high quality photo announcements at reasonable prices.

The announcements are printed on high quality photo paper and can be customized with the design, font and text of your choice.

I can’t tell you how many times Sebastian has been to a birthday party and the recipient had no idea who gave him the gift because Sebastian forgot to make or bring a card. Card Stix solves that problem once and for all.  Card Stix stick to wrapped gifts, gift bags, bottles, and I’m sure you can come up with plenty of other places where you can stick these cheery cards.

So you are probably thinking that Card Stix must be outrageously priced.  Wrong! A collection of 12 Card Stix is just $12!  That is way less than what you would pay at the drug store.  Add $5 to have your Card Stix personalized with a name and/or greeting. What’s even better.. Insider readers get 15% off your Card Stix order! Use coupon code insider15.

Card Stix collections include ‘Wine Stix’, ‘Wedding Stix’, ‘Baby Stix’, ‘Holiday Stix’, ‘GrownUp Stix’, Kids Birthday, Tween Boy, and Tween Girl.

Baby Candy – personalized onesies and tee’s

Babycandy_2Did you ever think you could have custom candy made for your baby?  You can!!!  Olivia, owner of Baby Candy, offers personalized onesies and tee’s  to parents who dont’ want to settle for ‘standard’.

I was pleasantly surprised by the candy shaped packaging and by the "Made by Tim & Alicia" print on the onesie. How cute!  I wish the print was a little bigger, but I can’t complain, it’s too cute.

Baby Candy onesies make an adorable baby shower gift. If you know the soon to come baby’s name and gender you can create a ‘custom candy’ onesie complete with baby’s name, choose from several color options, and designs.

Olivia’s designs are like none other. I am especially fond of her Glitter Cupcake Custom Onesie & Toddler Tee for girls, and the Sugar Daddy onesie & toddler tee for boys.

Visit Baby Candy to browse Olivia’s wonderful baby onesie and toddler tee designs for boys and girls up from newborn up to 4T.

Personalized calling cards, announcments, and more

Announcements & Stationary, Personalized

 Doodlebugprints1Kathryn with Doodlebug Prints has delighted me with samples of her whimsical, yet classic ‘mommy calling cards’, and ‘photo birth announcement’s’. I’ve often scribbled a note on torn scrap paper when I want to get in touch with one of Sebastian’s classmates moms and I hate that!  I don’t want to write a note to a fellow mom on my business letter head either. Kathryn’s ‘mommy calling cards’ are the perfect solution for me. Moms can have their name, phone numbers, and email address printed on durable cardstock in their choice of many designs. The calling cards are regular business card size, easy to fit in a diaper bag pocket, can be customized to suit your needs and colors can be changed for no additional fee.

Before I get to the end of this post, I want to be sure you know that you will get 20% your order with coupon code INSIDER07! 

Here are a few situations when you really should have a ‘mommy calling card’ on hand.
1. Send a note to a class mom.
2. You meet a cool mommy at the park and want to share your number.
3. Hand them out to the moms at your playdates.

Kathryn’s photo baby announcements are beautiful too. Featuring your baby’s photograph on durable cardstock, the color and design of your choice, these truly are personalized for you!

Oh, and here’s a great gift or birthday party invitation idea… Kathryn’s photo magnets. These are so great. You can choose to have your personal photograph on any of her designs on a small magnet or large. No one will forget your child’s birthday party if you send these out as invitations!

The images on the Doodlebug Prints website don’t do Kathryn’s work justice.

A Mommy Mention: Ralph Lauren – Create your own

Age 0-1 year, Age 1-3, Age 3-5, Baby & Kids Clothing, Personalized

I usually only feature products that I have actually purchased or reviewed ‘in hand’ on The Mommy Insider, but I think this line warrants a mention.

Ralphlaurenpolo_createI’m not one to spend $35 on a Ralph Lauren Polo shirt just for it to end up with sweet potato stains on it. I don’t think Polo’s have much character and I prefer to dress my kids in cute, patterns, textures, and interesting color combinations. Ralph Lauren Polo’s are however, a classic addition to a child’s wardrobe and are great to wear to picnics, visiting the grandparents, or playgroup meetings.

If you are going to buy Ralph Lauren Polo’s for your kids, why not create your own? 
When you visit the Ralph Lauren create your own section, you are able to choose the shirt (or other piece of clothing) color, size, pony color, OR monogram color and letters. You can not have the pony and a monogram. I think that would be super cute. I might even purchase one if I could do that.

You can create your own infant and baby shirts, newborn coveralls, blankets, swimsuits, oxfords, and ballcaps.
