Sumptuous textures, beautiful colors, and eco-friendly materials are just a few things that make us love Barefoot Dreams.  Their line of bathrobes, hoodies, sweaters, pajamas, and blankets are the stuff of dreams—made to add a touch of luxury to your everyday routine.  What’s even better, many of their blankets, robes, and sweaters are made from eco-friendly bamboo, so you can pamper yourself and the world you live in at the same time.  Conveniently wash and wear, Barefoot Dreams blankets and clothing just get softer and softer the more you wash them.

Founded in 1994 by Annette Cook, Barefoot Dreams began as a company intent on making high quality children’s blankets and clothing in beautiful colors for both boys and girls.  Since then, Barefoot Dreams gifts have been popping up at baby showers everywhere.     After experiencing resounding success in the children’s market, Barefoot Dreams began to branch out into the world of adult luxury gifts, coming up with their signature Cozychic Grown Up Robe.  Barefoot Dream’s line of robes and blankets has been featured on the Ellen Degeneres and Tyra Banks Shows, and chosen as one of Oprah’s Favorite things for her annual giveaway show.

One of our favorite items  for adults here at the Lou Lou’s corner is the Cozychic Womens Hoodie. Perfect for a day out and about or a day spent curled up with a book, this luxuriously soft hoodie comes in a variety of rich jewel-toned hues.   For babies, we love the  Bamboo Chic Puppy Pocket Buddie, a small square blankie made from finely woven bamboo, with an adorable white puppy that slides into a sewn-on pocket.  Made to cuddle for years to come, the Puppy Pocket Buddy is a  perennial favorites!

Jellycat Toys

Monday, June 8th, 2009

Jellycat’s super-soft plush toys rival the best in the world of high-quality children’s toys.  Whether it’s a baby shower gift or a birthday present, Jellycat’s adorable soft creatures, soft books, and crib toys are always met with smiles.  Established in London in 1999, Jellycat has been making high-quality toys that meet the highest safety standards of both the U.S. and Europe for the past decade.

What we love about Jellycat is the impressive variety that they offer—they carry not only the traditional bears, cats, dogs, and bunnies, but they go even further offering options for hippos, hedgehogs, zebras, and large collection of exotic animals.  Jellycat also offers a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures—their plush animals range from the 6” Pudding Frog all the way to the 4’ Huge Truffle Sheep!  It’s easy to find the right toy for your baby or toddler when you have such a wide and thoughtful selection to choose from.

Here at Lou Lou’s, we all have our favorite Jellycats—but I think we can all agree that the Bunglie Penguin is always a winner with the kids.  One of Jellycat’s wide selection of exotic animals, the penguin measures 15″ tall, making him a perfectly snuggly plush pal.

And it’s not just plushies that kids love—some of our best sellers are Jellycat’s creative line of soft books.  Books like the  Shaggy Dog Zip make reading fun.  Made to look like a soft stuffed puppy, the Shaggy Dog Zip opens to reveal the pages of an enchanting soft book.  Jellycat’s entire line of soft books provide tons of stimulating colors, sounds, and textures that are sure to engage and entertain your baby.

If you’re looking for a larger plush playmate, we recommend the Huge Bunglie Mutt.  Measuring 31″ tall, his pleading eyes and floppy ears make this puppy all the more endearing.

Whether it’s a cuddly creature, a colorful soft book, or a whimsical crib and stroller toy, you know that when you buy a Jellycat toy, it’s a high-quality item that will be around for generations.
