Baby Flower Crown Headbands

Why does being sold out make me so happy?

We're sold out of the Coral flower Crown Headbands as of today. It's not the revenue generated from the sales that is making me utterly giddy.

I should be a tad worried that I cannot fill demand for the flower crowns in Coral this spring and summer, shouldn't I?  We sold out of this hot style and colour before March even hit and I won't be restocking it.  You are probably scratching your head with this, as that doesn't make sense...or so it seems.  They are so popular, you sold out!! Why wouldn't you re-stock it? Make more and ride the wave, you're chiding me as my friend in business.  As my customer, your demand should be driving me to get more in stock...and NOW, right? But, I've made this mistake before. Too many times, in fact.  The times have changed so much since Baby Wisp® first started (2008) , you wouldn't believe how much faster the 'trend' cycles are. You think a bow is a bow is a bow...pink is pink and pink.  I tell you - it's not true. [caption id="attachment_1258" align="aligncenter" width="300"] Coral Baby Wisp Flower Crown[/caption] Any retailer can tell you about this problem of inventory and trend cycle.  Just go to any "end of season" sale and you will see prices that you cannot believe. You know for sure. that skirt you just bought for 99 cents, definitely cost several times that to make. But here's the thing - If you don't sell it off at the end of the season, you will never see a dime for it.  Knowing you have such a short window to get your style noticed you have to be already on to the next before you're finished with the first! Styles are so fluid, so hard to nail down.  As a designer, you're gambling on the right colour, the size, shape, style, fabric and more often that not - you're either doomed or crowned queen when a 'CELEBRITY' tells the general public what's cool and what's not cool or the celebrity BABY is photographed wearing a certain style.  You can't plan for that the year before when your designs are in production.  It's such crazy concoction of the right ingredients whether your design will be loved.  And when it's loved, it's loved for like a second.  It used to be a minute or two but now it's a second!   So today, I'm celebrating the second of fame we got in our Baby Wisp Kingdom.   Our coral flower crown is loved.  We got it right! Nailed it! woohooo!!!  That's a "good day" at work when you feel your decisions were right. On that note - there are only a handful of aqua left as that will be next to sell out...so hurry before they are gone for good! Click here to shop at our store>>>  

To many families, a christening is one of the most important events of a child’s life. It effectively brings a new person into the fold, connecting them to generations of people who have embraced similar ceremonies and religious beliefs. Such an important event usually happens only once in a person’s life, and the christening party that goes along with it can be remembered for years if done right. Here’s the best way to hold an unforgettable christening party.

Think about Family History

If you are holding a christening party, there’s a good chance that you, your parents, and probably generations before that may have gone through a similar ritual. Use that history to your advantage and create a celebration that is not only about your child, but about the tradition they are becoming a part of. If you have family heirlooms or christening clothes from previous generations, put those on display. If they are still in good condition and appropriate for the situation, you could even dress your child in them. Just remember that the comfort of the child is also important – the party may take some time, and you will want the guest of honor to remain as comfortable as possible during the whole thing.

Pick Interesting Hair Accessories and Gifts

Your child will be the center of attention during the christening party, so you should make sure they look their very best. Part of this will be choosing appropriate attire, but hair accessories are another step, especially for little girls. For example, a beaded butterfly hairband can draw attention and complement virtually any outfit, making the moment even more special. Not only will people at the christening party get the chance to see your child at her very best, but the child will also feel extra special. The hair accessories you choose can serve as a good way to showcase your child’s unique personality and special appearance on this holy day.

Choose Appropriate Gifts

Almost every party has gifts, both coming from guests and presented to attendees as a thank you for showing up. You don’t have any control over the gift choices that your guests make, but you can provide excellent gifts and party favors yourself. There are a number of different christening-themed gifts that can complement the color scheme of your party and also provide your guests with some use after the event is over with. One of these gift ideas is the Baby Shower Gift Set, which comes with a baptism theme and provides all the essential bath and hair gels a baby might need. This can serve as a good gift for the baby herself, and it can also be useful as a party favor or prize for a game at the party.

A christening party is a fun event that can really help tie family and friends together. By following the tips above, you’ll be able to throw a party that people will enjoy and remember for a long time, all without having to worry yourself sick about all the details.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than staging your own photoshoot to cherish those memories.  This is a great time to have fun, be creative and take as many adorable photos of your little one as possible. You will need the following:

Backdrop

You can use the wall or a roll of paper to create your backdrop.

Props

Try picking up some items at your local craft or party store, such as chalkboards, decor items, banners, etc. You can also use your baby's favourite stuffed animal or toy. Or why not try making your own props?

Outfit(s)

The outfit you choose should complement the decor and theme you have chosen. You can also pick a few outfits for your baby to wear, so that you get a variety of pictures. This is the perfect time to dress your baby in the cutest outfit you can find.

Accessories

If you have a baby girl, have her wear headbands or hair clips. These hair accessories should match the outfit(s) you have picked out. Try using a variety of different headbands and hair clips to go with the different outfits. If you have a baby boy, then bow ties or ties make an adorable addition. These accessories will definitely up the cute factor of your photo.   After the photoshoot: The photos you have taken make great gifts. Make your photos into cards and send them to your friends and family. Grandparents, especially, will appreciate and love the little keepsake.
