The Village Reviews: Giggle Layette

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

At Gugu Guru are often asked, “What is layette?” Layette consists of baby’s first outfits, blankets, and linens. When searching for Layette pieces you want to make each item is both soft and functional. The new Layette collection from Giggle features high-quality fabrics, artist-designed prints, and easy-to-use closures. Our Gugu Village Parents were able to test Giggle’s Layette line and appreciated the attention to detail and cute prints! Here’s what they had to say…

 

This onesie is so simple and pretty. It’s very soft. The buttons are easy to close and open and I like how they are hidden with the fabric. It’s very cute; I will be buying one to give as a gift for my friend’s baby shower.

The duck bib is very cute. I love the design. It got pretty dirty the first day we used it and it held up well in the wash and looked brand new again. The blanket is very soft. It’s a great blanket to travel with as a car seat blanket. It’s not big and bulky. I put it over my baby after she was strapped into the car seat. I also laid it on the floor for tummy time. I love the duck design.
-Elena M.

My daughter absolutely loves her PJs. She loves anything soft and anything with a duck print! I was pleasantly surprised that the jammies didn’t attract stuff from the floor when my daughter was crawling around.

Unlike other baby brands of baby bath towels, the Giggle towel actually dried her off.  I especially like the little loop on the end to be able to hang it up. I’ll definitely be buying more.
-Crystal B.

All of the products in this collection are so soft, high-quality, and would make great registry items and baby gifts. The Giggle Duck Printed Onesie makes an adorable newborn outfit – especially if paired with the Duck Hat. It’s a great registry item or gift because the print is gender neutral and so, so cute! Some of the ducks wear party hats, which would make a great photo for baby’s birthday or a baby announcement! The Pima cotton is very soft against baby’s skin, and the material washes well and doesn’t fade.  They smartly added the attached mittens to this outfit, which prevents newborns from scratching their faces. The sizing seems pretty true to size – it doesn’t seem to run too small or too large.

We also got the Duck Hooded Towel and were again impressed with the softness of the material and how well it washed. It’s a generous size for our big boy and there was plenty of material to wrap him up after his bath. The hood was just the right size to cover a younger baby’s head but not cover the eyes. I appreciated the little detail of the fabric loop to hang the towel up to dry on a towel hook.

The Giggle Cashmere Blanket would make the ultimate baby gift. It is SO soft and luxurious. I originally thought the colored edge was going to be a different material, but it is 100% cashmere edge to edge. This blanket is perfect for keeping baby warm in the car seat or stroller on a blustery day, but cashmere is breathable and temperature-regulating, so I think we’ll be able to use it most seasons of the year. I have a feeling our baby will become attached to this blanket and will end up carrying it around as a comfort object someday!
-Alyssa N.J.

The Pajamas have really cute giraffes on them and are legitimately the softest pajamas I have ever felt. I want a pair for myself! My daughter refuses to take them off in the morning! I’m off to buy 6 more pair!
-Lori W.

The quality, overall, is beautiful. The buttons in the center where baby’s bottom is located made it more simple to close.  We only buy onesies where the sleeves extend over our baby’s hands, as his nails grow fast and sharp, not only did this onesie serve that purpose, but they smooth fabric didn’t even seem to bother the baby (who is usually quick to show is discontent).
-Ron T.

What’s New on Gugu: May 15, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

I hope that everyone had a nice Mother’s Day! I have been busy this past week rounding up some excellent new baby and toddler items to help make your lives easier! Any product that will help save a few minutes each day is worth it in my book. There are also loads of great products in our Baby Shower Gift Guide.

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

 Nurture by Imalac: Another JPMA find, Nurture by Imalac is meant to mimic hand expression either alone or while you are pumping. This helps new moms express more milk, express higher calorie ‘hindmilk’ and overall make the whole process more efficient. Not quite available yet, but keep watching their website for upcoming announcements!

Clek Liing: A new infant car seat from our friends at Clek! We love their modern style, high quality fabrics and added safety features, and you can easily spot all of these on the Liing. It does have a hefty price tag, but we love how easy it is to use! Install is a breeze (necessary for proper use) and the base has multiple recline options, which is pretty revolutionary for infant car seats!

Kaavi James Collection by Gabrielle Union: Inspired by her adorable daughter, Gabrielle Union has created a new kids line called the Kaavi James Collection. Available exclusively at select New York & Company stores, the line features adorable (and affordable!) pieces. There are even some ‘Mommy and Me’ styles, which are perfect for Spring and Summer BBQs!

Bibs Pacifiers: Relatively new to the American market, the Danish Bib Pacifiers are completely BPA, PVC, and Phthalate free. Available in 60 color combinations, and in a variety of size, these are a minimalist parents’ dream!

JJ Cole Outdoor Blanket: As the weather continues to get warmer, picnic season is upon us! Perfect for a day at the park or a backyard picnic, this water resistant blanket will hold up to its toughest users – babies and toddlers! Plus it folds into itself for easy transport and storage.

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!

Benefits of Skin to Skin, Simplified

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

There are so many benefits of skin-to-skin contact between a parent and baby—it can help to reduce symptoms of postpartum depression and stress, can help babe cry less, boost babe’s immune system, increase milk production—to name a few. But, sometimes, we could use a little help to make it happen more frequently and easily.

We found the Joeyband and love what it’s doing for bonding and breastfeeding. It is made of a unique, four-way stretch material that creates a “deep pressure touch” for baby—easing both of you into this new world comfortably and securely. With its ergonomic design and support, it has proven to increase breastfeeding success. It brings babe to the breast, instead of bringing the breast to the baby. The hands-free style relieves pressure from the back, neck and shoulders—really helping mama through this new-and-amazing-but-sometimes-challenging time.

Not only does the Joeyband offer comfort for mama, but it’s quite soothing for babes as well by “naturally mimicking the womb.” Plus, it’s easy to use, easy to clean, unisex, adjustable, and can be used after a C-section. And, bonus, there’s no annoying knot to worry about.

It’s also the exclusive skin-to skin product of La Leche League International, and is used in more than 100 hospitals in North America. This expert-recommended product is an amazing solution to many of the pain points felt during the fourth trimester.

Thoughts from a colicky baby’s parent:

“As a mommy of a colicky baby, I found it so hard to get my baby to latch on without a struggle. I can honestly say for the first time my baby did not struggle to latch on. He felt secure and safe during feeding. The best feeling in the world.” – Patricia L.

The Village Reviews: Gabri Isle

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Looking for clothing as special and unique as your little one? Look no further! Gabri Isle has curated adorable European clothing from female-driven brands. Our Gugu Village Parents were able to try the Gabri Isle clothing and loved the quality, details and designs. You can learn more about Gabri Isle here and here, too! 

Crystal B.
I received the brown wool romper and linen Peter Pan collared shirt by Mimiikids from Gabri Isle. Upon opening the packaging, there was great information included an overview of the brand MimiiKids and a description of what Gabri Isle is about as a company, including what they offer, how they chose their partnerships, and how it focuses on female empowerment.  I also enjoyed the note from the founder Severina. That was a thoughtful touch!

The outfit that I received was made from 100% cotton and 100% linen. The shirt had a rounded collar and I loved that it opened from the back which allows me to do my daughter’s hair and put on her shirt without messing it up. It definitely feels like real linen and a quality piece. It’s not connected to the romper so I can mix it with other pieces. The romper was a nice brown color with oatmeal specs with a bib front. It was very light. The straps are adjustable which allows room for growth. I also liked that the cross straps were stitched already because no one has time to figure that out with a constantly moving toddler! The elastic legs gave it a nice touch. One of the best things about the outfit is that it seems to be unisex. I’m a sucker for androgynous clothing! I have to say, I’m quite impressed and my daughter was too! She even wore it to take a spin around the neighborhood, lol!

Thanks again, Gabri Isle! Looking forward to seeing other female entrepreneurs’ creations!

Elena M.
When I received the ice cream romper I thought, “wow, what a nice bag it came in and a personal note was so sweet!” The outfit feels well made and the design is adorable.  We wore it to a family gathering and everyone complimented it. And the zipper! Amazing! All baby outfits should have that. So easy to change a diaper. I’ll be purchasing more clothes from Gabri Isle.

This headband is a great finishing touch to any outfit.  It’s very stylish. I haven’t seen another one like it. It goes great with the ice cream romper. It also stands up well in the wash.  

Denalee M.
Gabri Isle is great. They were so accommodating finding my son’s sizes and the packaging was so personal and cute. I loved the bag the clothes came in! I love the concept of the store too. It’s important to me to support female business owners so I’m so excited I can do that with these clothes!

Penguin shirt: it is so comfy! The fabric was really soft and it washed well. You can tell it’s good quality. Sizing wise, the shirt was a little long and my son is pretty tall for his age but otherwise, it was great.

The pants: I don’t think we’ve ever had so many compliments on a pair of pants! Even random high school students who walked by us on the street complimented Mikey on his cool pants. Mikey also thought it was funny to see the gorilla eating bananas on his pants. My son will wear these all summer. They are a nice light and breathable fabric. The downside is that they’re not as soft as the shirt or other pants he owns but that didn’t bother my son. They were comfy enough to climb all over the playground!

What’s New on Gugu: May 8, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

Spring has finally arrived for much of the country! For those of you in the Midwest, like myself, it really felt like we might not ever reach Spring. However, it has slowly (yet surely) arrived! Along with the whole team at Gugu Guru, I want to be one of the first to extend our army of Moms a Happy Mother’s Day! Here are a number of products to help you continue doing what you do best; care for your kiddos! For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Loulou Lollipop Royal Gifts: Now that Meghan and Harry have welcomed their little prince, we want to make sure you’re appropriately stocked up! Loulou Lollipop has two excellent gift options for the ‘royal minis’ in your life. Both the Castle Muslin Swaddle and the London Muslin Quilt are made from high quality muslin, which softens with each wash. Easy to take on the go and wash when needed, these will last forever!

Belli Skincare: You’ve probably heard us mention Belli Skincare before, because it is SO amazing! We love that they use only high quality items in their products, which are safe for pregnancy, nursing, and beyond. Belli Skincare is free from harsh chemicals, synthetic fragrances, artificial dyes, parabens, gluten, phthalates and preservatives. Check out some of our favorites, including the Stretchmark Minimizing Cream, the Elasticity Belly Oil, and the All Day Moisture Lotion.

Dreambaby Strollerbuddy StrollAway Over the Door Hanger: Families who are tight on space often complain that they have to make stroller sacrifices so that they can safely store their stroller when not in use. Look no further! With a 50lb weight limit, Dreambaby’s Strollerbudy StrollAway will hold keep nearly any stroller safely contained. While not in use, it will even fold flat to stay out of the way!

Bblüv Sölar and Sunkitö: Two great products for fun in the sun from bblüv! Sölar are an excellent choice for sunglasses for your baby, toddler, or small child. Available in three fun colors, these flexible sunglasses will protect your little one’s eyes from harmful UV rays. Pair your glasses with the Sunkitö tent, which will keep your little one safe while taking a break from your busy day outside. We love that this tent will protect you from the sun, sand, and mosquitoes for snacks, naps, or quiet time!

Summersalt’s Mama + Minis Swimsuit Collection: Not only are their products adorable but we love Summersalt’s celebration of women and diversity! Their new Mama + Minis line is meant to encourage moms to spend that time outside and in the water with their littles! Plus the pops of color are refreshing and fun!

Kindred Bravely Louisa Leggings: When it comes to moms, you can’t go wrong with leggings as a gift, and we’re obsessed with the Louisa Leggings from Kindred Bravely. Kindred Bravely is known for their empowering, comforting, and fashion forward clothing for all women, but most especially moms and moms-to-be. The Louisa Leggings are made from a thick, high quality fabric that’s super soft and stretchy, and provide full protection, as they aren’t see-through at all. They’re soft enough even for the most sensitive of skin, and provide comforting compression for both pregnant or post-partum moms. They can be worn with the waist-band folded over or unfolded to provide additional coverage for nursing moms. Speaking of nursing moms, breastfeeding moms love the Louisa Leggings as they allow for greater coverage and modesty, which means you can breastfeed confidently in public. If you’re packing your hospital bag, don’t forget the Kindred Bravely Louisa Leggings, as the soft, stretchy waistband can be folded over or rise above a baby bump, pospartum stomach, and won’t irritate your c-section incision. The Louisa Leggings are the perfect Mother’s Day gift, and you can use GUGULEGGINGS for 20% off your leggings.

Wow mom this Mother’s Day with a Monica Rich Kosann locket, and give her the gift of a family heirloom.

Parabo Press 14 Month Calendar: Looking for a Mother’s Day gift for the mom who has everything? We love giving personalized gifts to moms, and even better when style meets function, such as these 14 month calendars from Parabo Press. These stylish wall calendars feature 14 of mom’s favorite photos and is printed on thick matte photos paper, so it looks chic enough for any home or office wall. The calendar is 8.25” wide by 12” tall and what we love most of all is that it is printed on perforated paper, so that when the month is up, mom can detach the square photo print and frame it or save it elsewhere – no more throwing away personalized calendars! Not only would the Parabo Press calendar make a perfect Mother’s Day gift for mom or grandma, but we love that you can begin the calendar on any month, so it’s totally customizable and would make an affordable and great gift year round. 

Stuck on You Keychain and Key-ring: If you’re looking for an affordable and customized Mother’s Day gift for mom this year, we’re loving the keychains and key-rings from Stuck on You.

GoSili Straw Cup Marble Collection: If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift for an active mom, breastfeeding mom, or mom who needs to take better care of herself and drink more water, we have the perfect gift for you. We’re big fans of Go Sili, and their Marble Collection pairs function with style when it comes to on-the-go drinking. This all silicone straw cup is the first of its kind, as it is made from 100% European grade silicone and holds its shape! This means it is super safe to drink from and won’t collapse when gripped. It uses GoSoli’s patented technology pairing the silicone with an embedded stainless steel ring to ensure the shape is held. The GoSili Straw Cup is dishwasher safe, easy to clean, and most importantly, easy to use! Mom will love using her GoSili straw cup in the car, on her travels, for work, or on the playground. Use code GSGUGU for 10% off. 

Perry Mackin’s Paris Diaper Backpack: Nothing makes a mom feel better about herself than a stylish and functional diaper bag! The Perry Mackin Paris Diaper Backpack is the perfect marriage of style and function for a fantastic Mother’s Day gift. The Perry Mackin backpack offers a stylish spin on the traditional diaper bag with quilted nylon and faux leather trim detail. The pop of pink color is bound to make any mom smile even on the most chaotic days! The bag features tons of storage and compartments, so mom can get organized and know she has everything she needs for heading out with baby. Between the glam style of the bag and organizational components, even the most seasoned of moms will feel confident while out with her little ones.

Mommee Coffee: What better gift for Mother’s Day than coffee? Check out Mommee Coffee, which offers guilt free coffee for all stages of motherhood. Mommee Coffee features four unique caffeine content levels to match your needs at any stage of the Mommee journey. With their four content levels, decaf, quarter caf, half caf, and full caf, any mom can safely enjoy coffee during pregnancy, breastfeeding and beyond. What makes Mommee Coffee different? Besides their unique content levels, Mommee Coffee features an organic certification and a decaffeination process without the use of harmful chemicals. Another reason there’s no coffee like Mommee Coffee is that they use a  proprietary roasting process, which results in a low acid coffee, that retains all its flavor; low acid is generally gentler for a new mom and gentle enough for baby’s sensitive stomachs and bones. 

4moms mamaRoo4: It may seem funny to have a baby item on the Mother’s Day gift guide, but when it comes to the 4moms mamaRoo4, it truly is more of a gift to moms than babies! What makes the 4moms mamaRoo4 so unique and special? As we all know, comforting a baby is about moving and rocking, but mom cannot do that forever, she needs a little time to shower and eat, too! Thankfully, the 4moms mamaRoo4 mimics the movement of a parent soothing a baby with its swaying from side to side and bouncing gently up and down. The 4moms mamaRoo4 features five unique motions and five speed options for a total of 25 different combinations, so you’re bound to find a combination which soothes your baby day-to-day. The mamaRoo4 is also Bluetooth enabled so you can control the motion, sound, speed and volume from your smartphone without disturbing baby! It also offers a full recline to allow baby to lie back and relax or sit up and play. When you’re thinking about Mother’s Day gifts this year, think about a gift which is going to make life much easier for the new mom in your life and surprise her with the 4moms mamaRoo4!

What’s New on Gugu: April 24, 2019

by Abby Ludwig Leave a Comment

This week’s new finds highlight some great Earth Day friendly selections. Reusable food pouches, baby food makers, and food grade silicone bottles are all great new items for the eco-friendly family. You will also notice some pop culture trends popping up this week. Baby Shark anyone? For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Baby Brezza Food Makers and Reusable Pouches: Earth Day celebrations always remind me to make smart choices regarding the products we use in everyday life. Baby Brezza has continued to make the ‘homemade baby food game’ a reality with easy to use machines and reusable pouches! Simply pop your favorite fruit and/or veggies in the container (love the Glass for eco-friendly or the new Deluxe) and watch them cook and blend with ease. Pour any delicious mixture into the reusable pouch and you’re good to go! Added bonus – the pouches are top-rack dishwasher safe!

Hatch Maternity x Nordstrom: As we (not so) patiently await the arrival of Baby Sussex, it has become much easier to attain our own ‘Markle Sparkle!’ The new collaboration between Hatch Maternity and Nordstrom highlights items from a brand we love so much. Pair together classic tops, pants, and dresses to keep things comfy and chic!

Baby Shark Toys and Walker: The ‘Baby Shark’ craze doesn’t seem to be leaving us anytime soon. Wowwee, the brains behind ‘Fingerlings’ continue to create engaging toys for our little ones. We have a love/hate relationship with their line of singing shark characters, which will instantly burn that catchy tune into your brain! Plus, coming in October is their newest toy, a brand new Baby Shark inspired walker for baby.

Boon NURSH Silicone Bottles: Another Earth Day find, the Boon NURSH bottle system utilizes a special bagged venting system that is reusable. Ideal for preventing gas, easily squeeze the silicone pouch to remove any excess air before feeding your babe. Plus, all parts are dishwasher safe!

Skip Hop Greenwich Convertible Hip Pack: With Mother’s Day around the corner, we love this sleek take on the fanny pack. Great for travel, we love this new hands-free accessory to hold the essentials. Pair with a diaper bag for an excellent gift for any mama-to-be!

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