Next Time Won't You Rock With Me?

Alphabet gift ideas for babies and kids prove that A is for "awesome!" We designed our new Rockin ABC collection using a combination of fun musical elements, a bold block font, and cool, crazy colors - bringing you the alphabet like it's never been seen before!

Our Rockin ABCs Personalized Placemat will catch any mess made during a wild meal, so no need to suddenly become a super tidy eater and start organizing your soup:

Now that you know your ABCs, Psychobaby, start shopping so you can get to rockin'!

Irish For a Day - the Psychobaby Way!

St. Patrick's Day baby and kids' gifts are a hit with lil' leprechauns! Legend goes that wearing green makes you invisible to leprechauns... who will sneak up and give you a pinch if they see you. Yikes! Don't take any chances, Psychobabies, we've got plenty o' tees to keep you safe this St. Patrick's Day. Whether you're on a quest for the gold at the end of the rainbow or just kickin' back with some green beer milk, we've got the gear to make your St. Paddy's Day sham-ROCK!

Need some great St. Patrick's Day ideas for the kiddos? Well it's your lucky day cause our Psychobaby team rounded up some great crafts, recipes and even some crazy cool nail art to get everyone in the spirit! See all of our finds on Psychobaby's  St. Patty's Day Pinterest Board.

For our local friends, the Chicago St. Patrick's Day celebration kicks off with the annual dyeing of the river at 10 on March 16th, followed by the parade at noon. See you there (we will DEFINITELY be wearing green)!

Mr. Messy, Meet Lil' Miss Manners...

Personalized gifts for kids will introduce your Psychobabies in style! Whether your name is Mr. Messy, Pretty Princess, Slim Shady, or just a regular ol' kid name, it belongs on a cool Hello My Name Is... custom design! These personalized gifts are for kids, so we spruced 'em up with bold colors instead of boring ol' name tag red. We suggest one shirt for your kiddo and one for your Psychobaby's alter-ego a la David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust or Beyoncé/Sasha Fierce. It's okay if your kid's alter-ego is more Mr. Horrible, and less Mr. Adorable - your secret is safe with us!

Caught by the Fuzz!

Mustache clothing for baby and kids is the best way to get caught by the fuzz! Jump on the facial fuzz bandwagon and take your kiddo from clean-shaven cool to handlebar hip with the addition of a cool t-shirt or bib. Don't stop there! We have hats, flip-flops, frames - the list goes on and on, much like a lengthy 'stache.

Speaking of lengthy 'staches, the current world record for the longest mustache belongs to Ram Singh Chauhan of India, with facial fuzz measuring 14 feet! One of Ram's grooming tips for growing a super-long mustache is to start early, so you better get on it, Psychobabies!

Unrelated to mustaches, remember the great 90's track from Supergrass, Caught by the Fuzz? Such a classic British sound from that era. Peep the vid below while you are shopping our 'stache of fuzzy goodies!

Park Avenue Playdate!

Jannuzzi baby clothes are bringing high society style to ladies who lunch! So what if peas and mashed bananas are the only thing on the menu? The latest one-pieces and bibs from Jannuzzi have lil' ladies raising their pinkies with their bottles (as only the most proper baby etiquette dictates). Perfect for walking your posh pooch, zipping about town with your driver (i.e. Mom), or stuffing your designer diaper bag with 24 carat pacifiers, Jannuzzi's new styles let you spit up and still look stylish! Wear some babyproof bling on your top and you'll be sure to impress at your next Park Avenue playdate!

Spend $50, Get $10. Appaman Presale Starts Now!

Appaman kids' clothing is en route back to the Psychobaby shelves - the presale starts NOW! 

Look no further for the coolest colors and hippest styles, Appaman is bringing street cred to every kid on the block with their stylin' 2013 Spring collection. From wind breakers and board shorts to floppy hats and dip-dyed dresses, it's out with the Appaman Puffy coat, in with the breezy warm-weather styles!

Yes, we know it's still cold mostly everywhere (our Chicago staff just might be wearing their coats inside the office today!), and yes we know winter is far from over. However chilly, we also know there's no better way to put a little spring in your step than shopping for hip duds for your kiddo. Just looking at swimsuits makes us feel a little less freezing and a little more beachy. As if styling your Psychobaby's seaside wardrobe wasn't enticing enough, we've sweetened the deal by offering $10 in Psychobaby Crazy Cash for every $50 you spend on an Appaman Spring 2013 purchase! Fifty bucks gets your kiddo some new swag, and gives you the chance to save some moolah on a subsequent purchase. Snag a personalized placemat, put it toward your next baby shower gift, or stock up on more Appaman - the choice is yours! Appaman Spring 2013 will be in-stock and ship on, or before, February 18, so stock up on street cred and get to shoppin'!

Coming to a Kid's Room Near You...

Personalized picture frames for kids are the latest addition to the Psychobaby Custom Shop! We are crazy excited about these frames and can't wait to add more styles in the weeks to come (psst...sports frames are on deck!). Tired of all the babyish decor, we thought we would make a little something for Psychobabies who would rather deck out their rooms in monsters, superheros, and cupcakes instead of ducks and bunnies (why are there so many pastel room accessories with ducks and bunnies??!). These sturdy wood frames will showcase a 4x6 photo of your cool kiddo in style! We know you always say your Psychobaby should be in pictures, so what are you waiting for? Get to snappin' those photos...or just print out this adorable pic of Paul and baby Mary taken by Linda McCartney and pop it in one of our frames. Awwwwww!

Happy National Sandwich Day!

Happy National Sandwich Day

Sometimes, when the days get shorter and the weather gets chilly, you need to find a reason to celebrate, no matter how silly it is. Today we celebrate with sandwiches. BLT babes and grilled cheese guys will agree that it doesn't matter what's between the bread or in the spread. All that matters is that you're down with the 'wich.

Our personal favorite is the hamburger. We've got some pretty awesome burger products over at the Psychobaby  including hats, pillow, tees, toys, and a whole lot more general sandwichey goodness.

Top Row:
Okutani Hamburger Clasp Wallet
Okutani Hamburger Throw Pillow
Okutani Hamburger Hat

Middle Row:
Ouch! Hamburger Tee
Personalized BFF Burger & Fries Tee
Melissa And Doug Sandwich Making Set

Bottom Row:
Alex Silly Sandwich
Melissa And Doug Sandwich Stacking Game
