Coming in at all different price points, these gifts are sure to wow your little loves and big babes! Be sure to share any of your favorite gift ideas with us as well. We love hearing from our Village!

Honey Bug’s Valentine’s Day Boxes: These adorable gift boxes from Honey Bug are the perfect gift for your little ones to celebrate our holiday of hearts. While their Valentine’s Day Boxes are flying off the shelf, we also love their standard gift boxes, which are curated by the Honey Bug mamas. These boxes are unique and will truly stand out amongst the monotony of the same baby gifts!

mamaRoo Sleep

4moms mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet: The long-awaited sleep bassinet from 4moms has finally arrived! What better gift to give than the gift of sleep?! Featuring 5 unique movements, you can control any movement or sound via the app. This is a safe sleep environment and can help keep your little one safe in your room until they reach 25 lbs or can push up on their hands/knees (whichever comes first).

Uppababy Vista V2

UPPAbaby VISTA V2 and CRUZ V2: The newest version of the UPPAbaby VISTA and CRUZ have finally arrived! Both strollers have been updated with seat/harness improvements, suspension upgrades (SO excited about this!) and wheel upgrades as well as a more compact fold for the CRUZ V2. The VISTA V2 has also updated it’s canopy. While definitely an investment, both strollers will hold up for years and throughout multiple children! A great Valentine’s Day gift for yourself or baby!

Hooray Heroes

Hooray Heroes Personalized Books: Nothing warms a parent’s heart more than a personalized gift. Turn on the water works this Valentine’s Day by securing these amazingly adorable books for Mom or Dad. You can truly personalize the characters and the storyline to fit your needs. Plus they are super high quality and will last for years!

Copper Pearl

Copper Pearl ‘XOXO’ Collection: Available in time for Valentine’s Day, we love how adorable (and gender-neutral!) this ‘XOXO’ collection is from Copper Pearl. Available in a swaddle blanket, hat, and multi-use cover there is something for everyone! If gender-neutral isn’t your style, check out the Lola print too!

Britax One4Life ClickTight All-in-One Car Seat

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Installing a car seat can be a frustrating task but not with the new Britax One4Life ClickTight All-in-One Car Seat. Britax’s One4Life ClickTight All-in-One Car Seat has changed car seat installation forever. Gone are the days of blindly threading the seat belt through a car seat and hoping the installation was correct. Click Tight technology allows you to easily pinch open the seat, insert the seatbelt through the seat and click the seat closed. It is as easy as buckling a seatbelt!

 

At Gugu Guru we love the long lifespan of the One4Life. It can be used from birth (5 pounds) to 120 pounds. The One4Life can be used both rear and forward-facing and has a 10-year expiration, eliminating the need to purchase multiple car seats.

Britax One4Life car seat for infants

In addition to a long list of the great safety features, Britax has kept your child’s comfort a top priority. The One4Life has nine different recline positions, stay-put comfort pads to prevent neck rub and ventilated mesh for maximum happiness during car trips.

Britax One4Life

If you are registering for your little one or want easier car seat installation, consider the Britax One4Life ClickTight All-in-One Car Seat. Thanks to Britax for sending a One4Life for testing. The thoughts mentioned in this article are my own.

Learn more or purchase the Britax One4Life ClickTight All-in-One Car Seat on Amazon here.

This will instantly turn your Contours Options Elite into a fun riding board (or seat) for your older kiddo while still safely and easily transporting baby. The perfect addition for your growing and aging family!

Boo Boo Balls: Created by a college student, Boo Boo Balls are adorable plush first aid kits meant to help your little ones biggest ouchies! Complete with everything you’d need to make those boo boos go away, this is the perfect thing to have at home and in the car!

A Zero Waste Baby Registry: Gugu Guru Favorites

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Today we’re talking all things zero waste baby registry! We all know that creating a baby registry is a daunting process. You have friends, family members, and even Instagram influencers telling you what you need. When you add all these things together, your list will probably be very long and overwhelming.

Aside from the anxiety-causing aspect of having way too much baby stuff in your house and the financial aspect of simply buying all this stuff, we think it’s really important for the well-being of this planet that you consider your footprint and think about a zero waste baby registry. Adding the requirement that the items you select for your baby registry have a small environmental footprint may seem like too much, but it’s helpful in so many ways.

So what’s a zero waste baby registry and why is it important?  First, our children will inherit the world we leave for them. They will also learn many of their views about possessions and the environment from their parents. Why not set a good example from the start? Whether you’ve been meaning to Marie Kondo your life and spark some joy or just get more serious about your purchasing choices and how they impact our planet, becoming a parent is the perfect time.

In addition to being better for the environment, zero waste baby registry items will save you in some way or be safer for your child. What’s not to love?

zero waste baby registry diaper bag

NEW! Skip Hop’s Go Envi Eco-Friendly Diaper Backpack
Talk about eco-friendly! This stylish, durable and lightweight diaper backpack is made from recycled bottles. Plus it includes an eco-friendly reusable food tower for snacks & more.

zero waste baby registry sleeping bassinet

Finnbin Cardboard Box Bassinets
Though it may seem odd, Finnish mothers have been using cardboard boxes as bassinets since the 1930s, and the country of Finland has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world. Instead of buying a bassinet that will only last for six months and then take up space in your garage or a landfill, choose a Finnbin. After the baby outgrows the Finnbin, it can be used as a storage box for baby’s keepsakes or you can recycle it.

zero waste baby registry diaper pail

Dékor Diaper Pails
Once you are done with diaper duty, Dékor Diaper Pails don’t go out with the trash. Just pop out the diaper insert and use it in the bathroom, kitchen or garage as a standard garbage can.

zero waste baby registry furniture

Milk Street Cribs
Milk Street Cribs are beautiful and the absolute best in quality, but the perks don’t stop there. Their cribs can be converted to toddler or even full size adult beds with a footboard, so it’s a piece of furniture that your child will actually never outgrow.

Larktale Chit Chat Stroller
Our number one pick for a zero waste baby registry stroller, the Larktale Chit Chat Stroller is designed to be recyclable and meets international safety standards. It is lightweight, features an ergonomic design, and folds up smaller than other strollers. It’s a great choice for you and the environment.

Pura Kiki Bottles
Plastic bottles can have chemicals that are a concern for many parents. Pura Kiki stainless steel bottles are completely safe and non-toxic. They are designed to last for many years as they grow with your child. Simply change the lids and you can go from a bottle, to a sippy cup, to a sport bottle. This is much better for the environment than tossing bottles when your baby outgrows them.

NOLEO Diaper Cleanser and Wipes
When it comes to a zero waste baby registry, the NOLEO diaper cleanser and moisturizer  is a great pick. The lotion cleans and moisturizes, eliminating the need for traditional baby wipes and diaper cream. Standard baby wipes are nonbiodegradeable, so this is a big savings for the environment. You can choose to use the diaper cleanser with reusable cloth wipes, or choose their organic cotton disposable wipes that are fully biodegradable.

Start your little one’s life in an environmentally friendly and safe way by including these zero waste baby registry products on your list. Your kiddos deserve the best – both in terms of quality products and the Earth they will someday inherit.

Interested in more eco-friendly items, check out these affordable eco-friendly baby registry picks.

What’s New on Gugu: December 11, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

During the holiday season, it is so easy for moms and moms-to-be to forget to stock up on products to treat themselves! Below are some fun new finds from the pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood market. We love these as gifts for expectant moms or as a personal gift to focus on the always-important (and never attainable) self-care! Let us know some of your favorite just for mom products! 

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

NYSSA Postpartum Underwear: Called the ‘Fourthwear’ Collection, we love this update to the standard mesh undies you’ll receive in the hospital. They are stretchy and you can easily insert an ice pack or heating pad where it may be needed most. They can also be worn high-waisted or rolled down for maximum comfort no matter what type of delivery. Love these for all moms to be!

Soothing Scents Expecting Personal Inhaler for Morning Sickness: Those dreaded days full of morning sickness (or all-day sickness) can be behind you! Utilizing essential oils, this inhaler works immediately and is 100% natural. Check with your OB before purchase, but we love the idea of combating morning sickness without added medication.

GLOWE Maternity Leggings: These leggings will be supportive and comfortable from first trimester to the postpartum days! They will give you the support of a medical maternity belt without the bulk of wearing one. Plus they are made from a super soft Italian fabric so you will beat that back pain in style!

The Laundress New Mom Kit: It’s absolutely amazing how one (or two in my case) little babes can dramatically increase the amount of laundry you find yourself doing. The Laundress has created their New Mom Kit to help combat those messy spit ups and blow outs without harsh chemicals, petroleum, phosphate, phthalates, or artificial color. Plus I love that this kit comes with stain remover (a must for little ones) as well as all other detergent products you would need!

HATCH Mama Must-Haves Kit:  An excellent set for pregnant and new moms, HATCH has put together a set of three top selling products. Their Belly Oil is excellent for your moisturizing your growing belly. Down, Girl is  great for relieving swelling in your legs and feet. Nipple + Lip helps keep those special parts (your nipples and lips) hydrated during pregnancy and while nursing. Plus it all comes wrapped in the cutest gift box!

 

Please note that these opinions are 100% my own and I have not received any products in exchange for placement in What’s New on Gugu!

7AM Enfant

7AM Enfant Essentials: Winter has arrived in much of the country and this means we have to work to keep baby (and caregivers) warm throughout these brisk months. Look no further than our favorite products from 7AM Enfant. The Cocoon, Warmmuffs, and Blanket 212 are just three great options that will keep everything bundled up. These are great for walking around the city while you’re running holiday errands. Plus they are all 100% vegan and PETA-approved!

Pump It Up Bars

They promote healthy milk supply and stable blood sugar for consistent energy and regularity. Plus they are made with organic ingredients, gluten-free, soy-free, corn-free and vegan with no preservatives, “natural” flavors, food coloring, or additives. Try them out today and use code ‘gugu20’ for 20% off your first order of 12 bars!

Hooter Holster

Hooter Holster: The answer to hands-free pumping is here! Check out the Hooter Holster’s line of fun pumping bras, which come in many styles to fit your needs.

Larktale Strollers: Gear Up for Endless Adventures with Babe

by Mel Blume Leave a Comment

If you haven’t heard of the award-winning baby gear brand Larktale already, your on-the-go life is about to change. It all starts with the name. According to the brand’s innovative founders, Larktale’s mission is embedded into their name: ‘Lark’ means adventure and ‘tale’ is a story. They want users of Larktale products to continue to write their story, and embark upon new adventures—with their little one in tow. 

With this philosophy in mind, Larktale’s team of parents created a lightweight, safe, high-quality product line that lifts the confidence of first-time parents and gives them access to an out-and-about lifestyle without the anxiety. Not only are the strollers reliable, functional, fashionable and easy—they are also highly affordable when compared to the options available in the market. 

Larktale strollers

Winner of Best-All-Around Stroller for Urban Parents, the Coast Stroller is celebrated for its full-sized features designed in a compact, easy-to-navigate size. The quick trigger release lets parents and caregivers fold and unfold in seconds. While in use, parents can easily navigate through crowds, shopping aisles and the subway. Then, the ultra-compact folded stroller can be carried without superhuman strength up long stairwells and stores easily in apartments and trunks. 

If you’re looking for a green-friendly stroller, Larktale’s Chit Chat Stroller won the 2019 Eco Excellence Award for its recyclable design. Weighing only 14.5 lbs, it’s easy to maneuver and can be picked up by parents and caretakers with ease. Its luxurious look, convenient build and awesome colors make outings enjoyable—for everyone. Plus, it makes impromptu park visits and coffee dates oh-so possible in that first year. An added bonus: if you don’t pass this stroller onto another family, it is recyclable! So, you can responsibly dispose of it. 

When we learned about Larktale and their dreamy mission around new stories and adventures, we couldn’t wait to share it all with you. When your little one comes, it doesn’t mean the fun has to come to a pause. Keep your journey going, keep writing your stories, never stop exploring. Your family will thank you.

The Village Reviews: Beautycounter Winter Favorites

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Winter weather is here! Let Beautycounter provide relief to dry skin the natural way with their Baby Daily Protective Balm and Baby Soothing Oil. Both products are great for babies and parents alike. Beautycounter excludes over 1,500 questionable ingredients to keep things simple and safe. Our Gugu Village Parents were able to test Beautycounter’s Baby Protective Baby Balm and Baby Soothing Oil and provided us with their thoughts.

I am always excited to try new natural skincare products and loved adding BeautyCounter’s Baby Soothing Oil to my son’s beauty regimen. 

When I first received the bottle I wondered how many applications it would last for, but was pleasantly surprised how little product you actually needed to use. The oil is very light upon application and easily absorbed into the skin. I also really like that it had a very light fragrance that wouldn’t overwhelm my son. 

This would be a great product for dry winter skin and is definitely a product I could use myself as well. 

I have tried a lot of children’s moisturizers on the market and the BeautyCounter Baby Soothing Oil is my favorite!
-April A.

I tried the Beautycounter Baby Daily Protective Balm and I like how it is a completely natural alternative for diaper rash creams. We have used it on my son’s bum at night time diapers to help create a barrier to make it to the morning without any rashes. I also have used it around his chin where his skin is reddened from the paci and drooling due to teething. It would be nice for the winter in a dry, cold environment. I do love how it is made of completely safe ingredients and is unscented for sensitive baby skin.
-Kelsey M.

I had the opportunity to test Baby Soothing Oil by BeautyCounter. I wash my hands a lot and suffer from very dry hands and eczema. Usually, when I put lotion or anything on my hands, they burn where the eczema cuts are, but not with this product!! It actually felt soothing when I put it on. 1 pump was sufficient to cover my hands. I love that there are only 3 ingredients and it didn’t leave my hands feeling oily! I have only used it for a couple days but it has already improved my skin so much! I no longer feel like I am rubbing sandpaper on my baby’s skin when I touch him. This will be a huge help for my boys and myself through this upcoming winter too! So thankful to have tried this! I have found my new favorite moisturizer that is safe for my whole family!!
-Tiffany L. 

This Baby Daily Protective Balm is awesome! I love the company and everything they stand for (they’re fighting for safer beauty which I can always get behind).  I already had some makeup items from the line but was really excited to try this balm for my son (almost 2). We live in Boston and the weather has been really dry lately so I’ve been applying the balm to some dry patches on his arms and after about 4 days they disappeared.  The Baby Balm also came at the perfect time because our whole family caught a cold. I used it on my son’s nose and on my dry lips and saw a noticeable improvement. The only downside to the product is that there are little chunks in it (probably from the all-natural ingredients) so it does not go on completely smooth but it did not bother me or my son so we can definitely live with that for the clean ingredient list.  I’m expecting a newborn in January and will definitely be adding this to our list of baby supplies to have on hand.
-Denalee M.

Thank you to Christine C. from Beautycounter for providing our Gugu Village Parents with products to test. Thank you to our Gugu Village Parents for providing us with their unbiased reviews. For more information on Beautycounter, click here!

What’s New on Gugu: October 25, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

While we took a brief hiatus due to our Working Mother Registry + Giveaways (if you haven’t checked them out, there are some AWESOME giveaways on our blog), we are back at it in full swing this week for What’s New on Gugu. Instead of highlighting 5 new items this week, I’m back with 10 items that have launched (or will be launching) in the baby market. From strollers to nursery gear and everything in between, take a look at some of our newest finds!

For a number of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!   Gooselings

Gooselings: Gooselings was inspired by ‘Hygge,’ the Scandinavian lifestyle leading to feeling calm and content. All of Gooselings products have been created to help add calm to our hectic daily lives with kids. These high-quality duvets and duvet covers are the perfect thing to bring your family together during playtime and add that sense of calm to the end of any work day. Plus they are easily packed for plane or car travel.

mamaroo sleep

4moms mamaRoo Sleep Bassinet: The newest product to hit the market from 4moms will launch early next year and moves like you do! With movement patterns similar to the mamaRoo, this sleep situation will be perfect for keeping your little one close for middle of the night feedings and diaper changes.

Nuna Triv

Nuna Triv Stroller: Triv is the newest stroller option from our friends at Nuna! This lightweight, easy-to-push stroller allows you to easily change between seat and car seat. It has a large storage basket and spring suspension, giving you a smooth push. Plus it’s one-handed fold can’t be beat!

Formerly Yan

FORMERLY YAN: We love this new maternity clothing line, which is designed specifically for changing silhouettes. Check out their Little Black Dress with Side Zippers or their Jogger Style Trousers, two of our favorites! These pieces are great for a day in the office or a night out on the town!

Uppababy

UPPAbaby Vista V2 and Cruz V2: UPPAbaby has updated their classic Cruz (single) and Vista (convertible) strollers for 2020! Both strollers are getting updated suspension –hello easier push!—as well as new colors/fabric options. The Cruz is also getting bigger wheels, a downsized fold, and a larger seat while the Vista will be seeing a no rethread harness and a larger canopy. These are expected to be released in February 2020!

Skip Hop High Chair

Skip Hop Feeding Line and Convertible High Chair: Skip Hop has launched both their feeding line and their Sit-to-Step High Chair! Great for infants and toddlers alike, this high chair reclines for easy bottle feeding, slides right up to the table, and turns into a toddler step stool. The feeding line is full of must have essentials, great for feeding at home or on the go.

Tranquilo

Tranquilo Products: Looking for a solution to help soothe baby when nothing seems to be working?! Look no further than Tranquilo! Their portable vibrating mat helps mimic the sounds from mom’s womb, instantly helping calm baby. The baby soothe massager is also great for use at home or on the go. All of these products are perfect for travel!

Finnbin

Finnbin: In Finland, parents are actually given a free cardboard baby box, which will provide their little ones with a safe sleeping environment from day one. Finnbin has stepped up this theory, providing high-quality Baby Boxes filled with all sorts of newborn necessities. Easy to move around the house and much more affordable than today’s standard bassinet, the Finnbin can definitely be your go-to baby gift!

Crawligator

Crawligator: Make tummy time fun with this JPMA Innovation Award Winner! The Crawligator helps your little one strengthen all of those muscles needed to begin crawling. Simply place your babe on top of the Crawligator and begin to move them forward slowly. A great way for parents and little ones to complete play time together!

Drinking for Two

Drinking for Two: A great gift for your girlfriend who just announced she is pregnant, Drinking for Two, is an adorable mocktail book aimed at combating pregnancy-related symptoms. Featuring 45+ non-alcoholic, plant-based mocktail recipes that are high in nutrients and low in sugar, this is the perfect coffee table book throughout pregnancy and beyond!

Kindness Counts: Amazing Mama Brands with Huge Hearts

by Mel Blume Leave a Comment

A mama’s to-do list scrolls. And scrolls. And scrolls. Sometimes, it’s seemingly impossible to take on one more thing.

We’ve been there, but we know just how amazing it feels when we open up our hearts and give back. To make it as easy as possible for you, we scoped out the mama-brand-scene and found our favorite companies with huge hearts. We’re excited to share philanthropic brands that contribute to our local communities, mamas and more.

If you haven’t heard of KIDBOX yet, its heart and generous hand can be felt across the globe. A subscription-with-styling-service clothing box (think Stitch Fix, but for kids), KIDBOX donates new clothing to the charity of your choice when you keep your box. This cutting-edge company donated over $12.5 million in new clothing to date, and seems to want to do more. Their passionate community is ever-growing, and their pioneering, change-making strategy is one that deserves the spotlight.

Plus, just when you think it can’t get any better, you shop the site! KIDBOX partners with major global brands you’d want to shop anyway: Adidas, Splendid, 7 for all Mankind, Disney, Sketchers and many more. Doing good is rarely this much fun.

Abby & Finn

While you’re clicking and tapping away, you might want to check out these other brands too: Abby & Finn is an affordable, eco-friendly diaper-and-wipe subscription service. As seen in PopSugar and Red Tricycle, Abby & Finn donates 30 diapers to families in need for each monthly box purchased.

Momkindness

For an ultra-stylish and versatile diaper bag that donates to an amazing cause, visit Momkindness. For each bag purchased, Momkindness donates a portion of the proceeds to Every Mother Counts, an organization that helps “bring safe and respectful maternity care to mothers everywhere.”

Mommy Matters

Another company to note: Mommy Matters. Their innovative, portable pillow features a hot/cold insert to heal aches and pains. Named one of the top 10 pregnancy pillows in 2019 by Verywell Family, Mommy Matters donates proceeds to Saving Mothers, “a global non-profit working to reduce maternal mortality and help mothers thrive around the world.”

JL Childress

Lastly, if you’re in search of a chic, office-friendly breast pump bag, check out JL Childress. For every Jay Elle Pump Bag sold, $1 is donated to a non-profit organization to support breastfeeding.

As you can see, there are plenty of ways to give back during this beautiful time (when you also have no time). Wishing you fun and fulfilling shopping moments, Mama.
