Handknit Holiday Hats - Made by a Mom

Made by Michelle Hainer

Michelle says...These handknit holiday hats are perfect for babies and toddlers! The pumpkin hats are made from malabrigo yarn, a kettle dyed merino wool. The Christmas tree hats are made from Frog Tree Alpaca. (Frog Tree is a Fair Trade company.) Both hats are very soft! The hats are available in small, medium, and large, though if you are able to measure the circumference of your child's head, I am happy to make custom fit hats. The pumpkin hats are $25, the Christmas trees are $30. Please add $4 for shipping and handling and allow 1-2 weeks for delivery. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at michelle@michellehainer.com

Socks On

From the website...Keeping socks on babies feet is no simple task. Little kick, tug at the toes and they're off!

Sock Ons are clever little things that keep those socks on. The garment is worn over the sock and 'locks' it into place with a patent pending design.

Sock Ons have been awarded the baby industries most coveted prize for innovation. Sock Ons are an ingenious and trendy solution to a very annoying problem and are quickly becoming a necessary item that no baby (or sane parent) can do without!

Sock Ons have been invented by a mum of five little boys who always lost their socks!
