Being in the parenting-magazine biz, we receive tons (and I mean TONZ) of info on fabulous (and sometimes, not-so fabulous) products for families, kids, moms and dads. And, I have to admit, receiving the inside scoop on all of the great new gear out there is by far one of my favorite perks of the job.
Not too long ago I received a press release about an online e-tailer dubbed BabyFable, which offers customized art for your little bundle’s nursery. Though, I’m not a mommy, (yet … countdown to Clomid: 6 days) I fell in love with this product. There are five themed watercolor prints to choose from (the Baby’s Zoo Debut is my personal fav) that can be personalized with Baby’s name, birthday, weight, length, time of birth, mom and dad’s monikers and city of birth. You can order with or without a frame or purchase a certificate to gift that soon-to-be mommy in your life.
While a lot of products that come across my desk seem wonderful, I always have to try them out in person first, before I give them my stamp of approval (remember: I’m prepping for momhood, so I’m always looking for things I’d love to have when I finally get there).
I ordered the Baby’s Zoo Debut Nighttime to give to my friend Lindsay. She’d decorated her son’s nursery in a jungle theme and I thought the zoo pic would be the perfect piece to add. I chose the frame that matched Connor’s crib, plunked in the details and hit order. Within about two weeks the art arrived and before I even saw the item, I was already blown away by the company — the care they take packaging their product to ensure it arrives safe and secure is awesome. (I think it took me 10 minutes and a sharp pair of scissors just to plow through all the layers of packing material.)
The picture was just as I thought it would be — awesome. But the true test? What the “real” mom thought.
“I like the whimsical theme and the artwork is beautifully detailed. I love the way the artist incorporates the details of the baby’s arrival — it’s just so creative. And the piece went perfectly in Connor’s nursery.” — Lindsay, Lewisville mom of 8-month-old Connor
Yay! Success! I’m thinking like a mom already (well, in the décor department, anyway. Lol!).
Happy shopping.
much love~
