What is the perfect edition to that festive holiday outfit, you ask?? These fabulous clips. We’re having a hard time deciding our favorite: the snowman with the green scarf, the turkey with “googly” eyes, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer or the Christmas tree speckled with colorful ornaments! Tough pick, however we are sure you will find the perfect match with our incredible selection…or you can simply get one of each!
Happy Holidays Dolls!!!

Every non-firstborn child knows the feeling of being bombarded with secondhand items. Sprinkle parties are a fairly recent phenomenon that allow for the practicality of not re-buying items already owned and all the fun of getting any items that the firstborn never got to own. Many moms go through second and third pregnancies without celebrating them with a big baby shower, because fun as they are, they involve a lot of preparation and hassle. But it’s no fun for the mom to receive NO celebration, is it? Sprinkle parties basically baby showers toned down a bit. Moms-to-be not only receive gifts for their babies that either the first child never owned but girlier items if the firstborn is a boy and vice versa. Moms who throw sprinkle parties generally invite fewer guests then they would at a normal baby shower and have shorter-lasting parties.Though fewer people certainly doesn’t mean less fun! Sprinkle parties often have fun themes with a scumptious dessert table or even a cupcake bar. Some enjoy swapping funny stories playing games like “Remember When?” People bring items like diapers, bibs, and pacifiers as sprinkle party gifts. If you need sprinkle party gifts, look no further–we have a plethora of fun gifts you could bring to sprinkle parties like our fantastic onesies and hair bows.

Remember those childhood days spent carting around a dirty yet well-loved baby doll in a toy doll stroller? What if we told you that you could relive that memory, except this time by giving your child the opportunity to do the same? Our new spectacular toy pram stroller is the perfect play accessory for your children three years and older. Designed and engineered with care and precision, this stroller has a hod with a mod-reminiscent pattern featuring white circle outlines against a black background. There is also a compartment at the bottom so your little cutie can stash their dollies blankets, toys, sippy cups, or whatever the moment calls for. The pram includes four elegant and slim wheels reminiscent of a classic 1900′s style. The padded covering over the top of the pram is meant to keep the “baby” snug and safe; imagine how cute your little one will look carting around her very own BabyDoll!

At BabyDolls Boutique we take pride in carrying not just simply adorable but also functional baby products that are centered around the well being of babies. We are proud carriers of the World-renowned Aden + Anais products, particularly the famous swaddles, which include a multitude of uses from ensuring a long and peaceful night sleep because of the nature of the swaddling position, also helping reduce colic all while helping straighten babies’ spines. Most importantly these muslin cotton swaddles help reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) –so much so that the SIDS foundation allowed their label to be placed on the product!
Did you know that November is SIDS Awareness Month? We think educating parents about reducing the risk of SIDS is absolutely vital, so here are a few helpful baby tips:
-Do not share a bed with your baby; studies show that there is a link between the sharing of beds and sudden infant death syndrome
-Place your baby on his/her back when you put them to sleep (don’t forget swaddles can help babies remain peacefully on their backs!)
-Remove any stray objects from the baby’s crib such as toys or extra blankets
-Don’t let your baby get overheated. Make sure to not over-bundle him/her in clothes and hats and keep the temperature of the room between 61-67 degrees Fahrenheit. Aden + Anais Swaddles are perfect for any temperature because they are breathable enough to not overheat your little one during the night
We hope you keep SIDS in mind this month and spread the word about how to reduce the risk of it!

We know there is absolutely nothing more important than the health and safety of your little one. And we ALSO know your little one’s choices fluctuate like Chicago weather; one minute they want apples, the next they want oranges, one minute they want red strappy shoes, the next they want Velco-sneakers. We have a product that not only ensures their health but caters to their always-changing preferences. The Safe Sippy 2 is a 2-in-1 sippy AND straw bottle and can be used interchangeably as both. The Safe Sippy comes free of harmful chemicals like Bisphenol-A and comewith a recycled ring, cover, and solid cap that do not contain polycarbonates. It also includes a silicone sleeve that is 100% non-toxic that serves as a gripping surface. It also includes a dust cap to protect the lid from yucky things (we all know your child can drag their things to strange and mysterious places…) and a travel plug to prevent spillage. So, if your child grows out of using sippy cups, or simply doesn’t feel like using one at the moment, you don’t even have to leave the house to buy a straw bottle.

For little girls, there is something breathtakingly exciting and magical about being able to see things that seem unreal and untouchable come to life– like seeing the “real” Cookie Monster at a parade or birthday party instead of just as a cartoon on television or seeing their favorite Disney princess skating around on ice instead of just a picture lining storybooks. It’s much more exciting when little girls can take an active part in making the pictures that fill their imaginations real. What if they could dress up like a fairy of their favorite ballerina? With our help they can–a little sparkle and fabric can go a long way! These hand-crafted must-haves are far from basic… they’re unique as your little girl’s imagination. They come with hand-woven flowers and bows, and some have multiple layers. We also have silver necklaces of ballerinas with skirts of majestic pink rhinestones available for ballerina-lovers. And let’s not forget our fun, lightweight fairy wings with trails of glitter for the girl whose mind loves roaming to faraway lands of castles and magic and fairies. The wings and tu-tu’s are perfect Halloween costumes, but are definitely not limited to that. After all, there’s no reason the imagination’s expression should be limited to one day a year, is there?

If your little girl is constantly amidst a whirl of sleepovers, doll games and play dates with that one friend to whom she is practically joined at the hip, we have the perfect thing for her and her bestie. Our “best friend” necklaces are truly unique; they’re not the standard, flat, silver half-hearts but something cuter, funkier, more expressive and much more personality-infused. There is a wide variety of charms, including a frosty-white ice cream cone with flecks of sprinkles on top with a piece of bubble-gum pink cake, a cup of hot chocolate with a chocolate donut, an oreo and with a milk carton. Can we just say you’re you the peanut butter to my jelly?? Or you’re the milk to my cookie?? We’re getting hungry just describing them! If only all our food smiled at us quite so cheerily.

Imagine these legwarmers, layers of lace ruffles adorning the adorable chubby legs of your baby or on the legs of your scampering five year old. They can be worn in a million ways—under a skirt or dress, over pant legs, over tights, even as arm warmers… anything your little fashionistas heart desires! Coming in every color under that ever dwindling sun- red, pink, white, brown, cream, purple—you name it, we have it. Check out these fashion must-haves ASAP. Ciao for now!
