Ginger Snap Bambino Boutique


110713_GingerSnapBambinoBoutique_logoHandmade accessories for little ladies, just in time for the holidays!

Ginger Snap Bambino Boutique is inspired by a beautiful baby girl named Georgina (Ginger for short).

“She is definitely a little fashionista like her mama,” say mom Angelina Alexander, who decides to make accessories for ALL of her daughter’s outfits herself. (Something every new mom faces, I’m afraid). And after all the compliments on her homemade treasures and inquires for special orders, the new Ginger Snap Bambino Boutique is established. “I never thought I would start a shop, but here it goes,” Angelina says. “These are for the affordable mamas.”

110713_GingerSnapBambinoBoutique_01New Designs Added All the Time. Angelina is a new fan of Children’s Retail Today, and she tells me she’s added new designs for the holidays to her online store, just in time. “Completely handmade shabby flower headbands with coordinating barefoot sandals are also available,” she adds, as well as custom orders. “Send photos of the outfit to us.”

110713_GingerSnapBambinoBoutique_04Ginger Snap specializes in headbands and barefoot sandals for babies, and also makes tutus, costumes, crochet items, rented 3D numbers and backgrounds for birthdays and photos, and “All About Me” birthday boards. International orders, too!

110713_GingerSnapBambinoBoutique_03Coming Soon – Infant Clothing! Plans for a clothing collection are in the works, as well as an Etsy site, which is under construction. Keep up with Ginger Snap news and order for the holidays by liking the Ginger Snap Facebook page and comment.

Lily & Momo – Stylish Accessories


What little girl wouldn’t want to accessorize her cute outfit with a stylish owl handbag? Thanks to new company Lily & Momo, she can!

Atlanta, GA-based Lily & Momo specializes in high-quality, handmade accessories for children. The extensive collection of fanciful barrettes, headbands, bows and hair clips –from animals to flowers to stars, rainbows and crowns- are packaged to please using recycled paper and other environmentally friendly materials. There’s even a variety of “clip keepers” to choose from. The embellishments are handcrafted from soft felt in vibrant colors and the working part of the clip is made to stay securely in the hair.

And the kid-sized purses and handbags are a stand-out … in owl, turtle, fish and flower designs that are sure to delight.

I was looking for fun hair accessories for my daughter and found that the market was missing whimsical hair clips for girls. So I developed one -a hip, fashionable line of hair accessories.

Named after her daughter Lily and her son Miles (Momo is his nickname), Sharon Miller and her husband Evan launched the company about one year ago, and Sharon tells me that it’s captured the imagination of the children’s marketplace, growing extremely fast.  An adorable addition, I agree! The product design and materials used are safety tested to ensure the highest quality, made with love and care. Available at Nordstrom and children’s shops from Alaska to Connecticut, Canada to South Korea, too.
