Sleeping Baby Inc is the home of the Zipadee-Zip Swaddle Transition solution! The Zipadee-Zip was originally created for a little girl who refused to sleep without being swaddled 😉 It’s meant for babies 3 months and older and it provides a woomb-like environment, but with room to push up, roll over, and wiggle around safely. The slight resistance in the “wing-span” helps a baby self-soothe and sleep better than they would in a traditional sleep sack or PJs.

Girls love anything as long as it is about Barbie. I can vouch for this as both my grandchildren and Greatgrandchildren(girls) love any thing connected to HER.
Oh Elva – I truly do appreciate your comment, but I’m not sure I agree with you! My daughter isn’t into Barbie at all. But yes, you are right, many girls are.
Great ideas … thanks its hard sometimes to buy for little ones who have everything :0
Great gift ideas, maybe another idea is a monthly toy subscription box.
Hey I’ve been looking for some great teacher gift ideas, lots of goodies here!!
Thanks for your comment 🙂 I can’t wait to get MORE ideas up soon!
Great ideas, can’t wait when you have more coming up!
Thanks Yuen – I can’t wait either!
I like the ice cream scoop idea!
I really like the framed button craft,it looks nice
Some great ideas for baby shower gifts, thanks
This is a fabulous list of ideas!! I love how unique and simple they are .. thanks for sharing!
I really like the shea butter products
the button craft is really cute
Great Idea’s For a Baby Shower! Thank You!
So glad you got some ideas Karen!
Great ideas, they can give you the inspiration to put your own twist on them
I really like the DIY microwave bean bags
I love the craft for teachers. I know that I spent a pretty penny on Sara’s teachers at year end and I actually think that handmade gifts are so much more appreciated.
Teachers do appreciate handmade gifts 🙂 They are made with love.
I love these gift ideas! Each are unique in their own right. I especially love the ideas for end of school year. Very sweet!
They are all unique ideas – that is what I’m trying to go for – thank you 🙂
I love the Sugar Bush Fairies door for my tree!
Aren’t they SO sweet?! Which one would you get?
I agree that teacher’s prefer hand-made gifts from their students. It’s so easy for a parent to purchase something, but it’s not all that meaningful. Like others, I like the Sugar Bush Fairies, all of them. Now that it is my granddaughters in school, rather than my child, I seem to take more care in supporting their teachers and making sure they feel appreciated. I think it’s because my life is not so hectic and I have more time to pay attention to the important things in life.
I truly think that is the true beauty of being a Grandparent! All of the life’s day to day hustle bustle is gone and you can focus 100% on the people you love, right? You sound like an AMAZING Grandparent and your Grandchildren are truly lucky to have you!
Thank you.
I love the idea of a fully illustrated book, a CD to sing along and an app that plays an animation on your computer. What a fantastic idea.
Isn’t it a creative a fun idea? AND a child receives mail which is also VERY exciting!
Thanks I love idea fpr new and expectant mom!
MommiesFirst truly is the BEST gift ever for New and Expectant Mommies!
That Sugar Bush Fairies is wonderful! I tried to make a fairy house once and I failed miserably 🙂
I am always looking for ideas for a new Mom
MommiesFirst is honestly is the best gift ever for a new Mom as it is the gift that keeps on giving 🙂
Mommies First looks like such an awesome idea, I wish I had that for me when my kids were younger! I will remember when my friend has her baby in 6 months!
It really is a fun gift idea! Moms LOVE to receive it.
That Sugar Bush Fairies is real cute

Thank you Multi-Testing mommy, you rock!

Love the end of the school year gift. Might try to make it for my sons teacher
FUN!
Hard to choose I love them alll
I really love the Peapod mats. This person has a uniquely creative mind and the logo is so original. Thank you for sharing with us.+
Snappy Towels sell towels with snaps so they really cover-up when necessary-wonderful for the pool and/or the beach-such a simple yet wonderful idea for modest people.
Sleepy Owl products must be excellent products when you purchased them for your baby and are still using them for the family. That is a ringing endorsement.+
Kidspot features Unique gifts for children with a free personalized name on them. Isn’t this a wonderful gift for any child? I would think so because I think children love to see their name on their toys and Possessions.
So many good websites to choose from!
Posterjack is a Company that helps you to keep special moments frozen in time forever with their special posters. This is a wonderful thing to do for people.
‘The Book with No Pictures’ seems to be an interesting and delightful book for young children. It has a curious name for starters. Just gets you interested at once.
Mommies First is a wonderful company that sends new mommies a box each month for the low price of $30. This new company includes items, as I understand it, for both Mom and Baby. This would be a relatively inexpensive gift to give to a young mother for a few months from a family member or special friend.
I do like the sound of the Sleepy Owl, natural skincare products for baby. These sound really nice 🙂
I LOVE Sleepy Owl products – for me too!!
I think that the Peapodmat is a great development in water proof pads.
I honestly cannot imagine life without our Peapodmats! They have made such a HUGE difference in comfort while sleeping with protection as well as leaks in beds!

I feel pretty envious that there are such great products, diapers, clothes etc. on the market today. My oldest has just turned 41 and there weren’t such wonderful products around back then.
The waterproof bed pads are great too a nice big size.
