Rockin' the Main Stage: Mini Shatsu

Mini Shatsu Tees, Dresses and Clothing for Babies and Kids
Mini Shatsu's tees, dresses and clothing have been taking design cues from the streets of L.A. for over twenty years. Their West Coast inspired designs blend music with street style for a look that is fresh, original, and totally rock and roll!

Our favorite thing about Mini Shatsu's line are the crazy amazing details on every single garment.
Check out the pockets on their tees, you never know what you mind find peeking out!
Different fabrics and textures, lots of layers, and a ton of tough-kid attitude make every piece as unique as you are. We especially love the pops of bright color against classic grays and stripes - this collection flawlessly marries modern and classic style elements within each piece. Don't wait to pick up your favorites - less than 1,000 of each design are produced. From sports and skateboards to guitars and headphones, Mini Shatsu has something for every Psychobaby!
So what's a "shatsu," anyway? Well,  it's not this....

Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Baseball Gifts for Babies and Kids
Baseball gifts for babies and kids are a surefire way to score some major league style for your minors! With Opening Day just days away, you better get ready to show your spirit. Customize one of our awesome tees or one-pieces with your team colors before you hit the ballpark. We've got just about every color combo to help you represent your favorite team, from the Angels to the Astros and the Blue Jays to the Rays!
We've even got socks for both kinds of Sox fans!
Every now and then a Psychobaby is born into a complicated relationship - one where both parents can't agree on a team. At least if Mom likes the Dodgers and Pop cheers for the Padres - they'll both agree on our classic Baseball Belly tee!
Remember, even if your fav player strikes out, you have to stay tough - there's no crying in baseball!
No Crying in Baseball!

Appaman's newest dresses are part Cape Cod preppy, and part classic Beach Chic - we're in love with the super soft fabrics and flirty ruffled skirts! Rowdy Sprout's rock frocks are great for all the concerts and festivals coming up - perfect for twirling and jumping around in. If you have a special birthday party or gala ball to attend - check out our exclusive Psychobaby tank dresses. Our cotton "Little Black Dress" blends Black Tie style with a Casual Friday feel - you'll be so comfy you'll forget you're not in pajamas!

Cool Things To Take On Spring Break


We've seen Trunkis in every airport around lately, and for good reason! These sturdy suitcases come in a multitude of vibrant colors (easier to spot on the baggage carousel!) and are roomy enough to pack all of your Spring Break gear. Personalize your Trunki with a coordinating saddle-bag and special stickers too! The Trunki doubles as a fun ride-on toy... which comes in handy when you're tired of traveling and need to take a load off!

So, what to bring in your Trunki? Stand out in a crowd of beach bunnies & beach boys with a colorful swimsuit, we're digging these bright styles from Appaman. Make sure to bring a stylish hat to keep the sun out of your eyes (and keep all eyes on you)! Flip flops are a must - nothing worse than sand in your shoe. With so many styles to choose from, you can find a pair to go with all your outfits.

Plan ahead and pick up one of our personalized water bottles - they're eco-friendly and totally trendy! You'll stay hydrated, healthy, and save a little money (use it for ice cream!) by not having to buy bottled drinks. One of our personalized pillowcases will add a touch of home to a boring hotel room, and make napping a little more comfortable when you're 35,000 feet up in the air, or squished in the backseat!

Don't be like this guy!

Most importantly -  don't forget the travel games! Feeling bored while you're a million miles away from your toys is no fun... we love these easy-to-pack choices from Melissa and Doug.
Their Flip to Win Memory game has no pieces to lose - genius! You'll still have space to throw in a reusable sticker pad - once you've stuck all the stickers, just peel them off and start again. Even after you pack all your stuff, we have a feeling you might have just enough room left in your Trunki to bring home some cool souvenirs! Bon voyage, Psychobaby!

Trend Alert: Chevron Prints for Babies and Kids


Chevron prints for baby are a hit with the cool crowd! We love any trend that translates from grown-ups to babies, and bold chevrons are where it's at for Spring 2013. From one-pieces and infant sacks to hats and legwarmers, we have the styles that will keep your Psychobaby in line - zig zag lines, that is. One of our favorites? The chevron print baby blanket - personalized with your kiddo's name! With more ups and downs than baby's first attempt at walking, our chevrons will keep your Psychobaby looking almost as hip as the original king of the chevron - you know who we mean: Mister Charlie Brown himself!

 via Quickmeme

Our chevron pattern is less "Good Grief!" and more bright, fun, and graphic, but ol' Chuck still knew what was up with cool kids' style. Zig zags are the new stripes - straight lines are so last year!
