Center Stage: Magical Monograms

Monogrammed Gifts for Babies and Kids
Magical Monogram gifts for babies and kids take center stage to put YOU in the spotlight!
Sure, we all grew up learning that A is for Apple and C is for Cat, but with our magical monogram collection, the alphabet is all about you! Our hip monograms blow the old fashioned embroidered ones out of the water. You can customize these cool letters with your choice of colors and logos - including cupcakes, guitars, lightning bolts and more. Our favorite color trend for spring is any combination of bright green, fuchsia and sky blue - like our new Magical Monogram water bottles!

Don't let the monogram fun stop when you're done shopping. Check out this tutorial for an easy monogram craft project even the littlest Psychobaby can handle - you could switch it up and use fun scrap papers or tear/cut up some old magazines instead of using fabric.

Style Update for Siblings

Big and Little Sister Gifts, Big and Little Brother Gifts
Big and little sister gifts and big and little brother gifts can ease the sibling rivalry that goes on after the stork decides to pay your family a visit. Your older child won't need to take a magic marker and label the new baby... that is, if baby's already wearing a Little Sister or Little Brother one-piece. Make sure everyone knows who's in charge!
via nickmom.com
Big brothers and sisters will be proud to sport their new status on one of our hip shirts, and even more excited to see their sibling designated as "LITTLE." We just tell it like it is, guys. While you can't completely stop the squabbles, you can press pause with new sibling versions of our popular Tiny Tunes tees! Of course, without some clearly labeled shirts, your kids might take this approach:

So before your kids start throwing each other out the window, come check out our selection of fun brother and sister tees and gifts! Big and Little Sister Gifts Big and Little Brother Gifts Image Map

Rock Out With Your Blocks Out!

Rock and Roll Baby and Kids Clothes
Rock and roll kids clothes might be too hardcore for some, but not for you, Psychobaby! Are your parents total squares? Refuse to take you to the tattoo parlor? Never let you go to any concerts? No worries, young rebel! We know what it's like when all you're allowed to do is play at home and Rock Out with Your Blocks Out. Don't cry if you're confined to your crib - cause a little chaos with our quick and easy guide to Hardcore Style!

1. Wardrobe. The #1 rule = Cool babies wear black! Keep your closet stocked with rock tees and shirts with a little bit of sass - let everyone know you're kind of a bad boy! (Not too bad... Sorry, Ozzy! Psychobabies stick to biting the heads off their leftover chocolate Easter bunnies.)
via performingsongwriter.com
2. The right soundtrack. Row, row, row your boat right into Rocksville and snag some rock lullaby albums - there's everything from AC/DC to Zeppelin. Bed time? More like shred time!

3. Rocker Attitude. We can help with the outfit and tunes, but you're going to have to come up with the 'tude on your own. We have faith in you, Psychobaby. Just try to stay out of time out!

Fun fact: the word "lallapalootza" has been around for way longer than we knew - it was coined around the late 1800s and means "an extraordinary or unusual thing, person, or event." Well, we certainly have some extraordinary rock tees and accessories, better check 'em out now before they take their show on the road (to a playground near you)!

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....

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! 
Guy sleeping in car

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!
