New Custom Birthday Tees & Party Packs

Personalized birthday tees for babies and kids are an awesome way to commemorate the best day of the year - your birthday! Customize one of our cool new birthday shirts with your name to make sure everyone knows who to bring the presents to. It'll make your special day extra special... your birthday is all about you, after all!

Looking for the perfect thing to send your party guests home with? You'll love our "Birthday Buddy" tees. Each of our new birthday styles coordinates with  two awesome designs for your friends. Way cooler than the gift bags you usually come home with, our birthday shirts are custom designed for you and your guests on super soft cotton tees. All our Birthday Buddy Tees sport an exclusive Psychobaby "It's Party Time!" design - but your guests will be rockin' their awesome tees long after your party is over! If you're having a small soiree, choose our single Birthday Buddy Tees for $16 each. For a bigger bash, we're offering Party Packs for $36 - each pack includes three Birthday Buddy tees (at a 25% discount)!

 

Our new birthday tees come in so many different colors and styles, you're sure to find some to go with any theme party you throw. While you're party planning, take a peek at our cool cake and party idea Pinterest board for inspiration. Happy Birthday to you, Psychobaby!

Center Stage: Magical Monograms

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.

So now that you know how to make a monogram, don't give your siblings a chance to steal! Go ahead and personalize all your stuff. We'll help, we have tees, placemats, necklaces, coin purses, picture frames... you name it, we can put your name on it! You and your name will be the star of your own show along with a little help from our Magical Monograms!

Psychobabyonline.com Rockin' ABCs Personalized Placemat

We promise that learning your ABCs rocks... that is, when "I" is masquerading as a lightning bolt and "U" is throwing the horns.  We've got cool versions of the alphabet in every form, from pacifiers to puzzles and placemats to pillowcases. Now that you know your ABCs, Psychobaby, start shopping so you can get to rockin'!

Style Update for Siblings

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!

Rockin' the Main Stage: Mini Shatsu

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....

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!

Okay... well, maybe sometimes. Play ball, Psychobaby!

Cool Things To Take On Spring Break

1. Melissa and Doug Trunki 2. Psychobaby Dream On Pop Art Pillowcase 

3. Appaman Floppy Hat in Coral 4. Appaman Ruffle Bikini set in Iris 5. Melissa and Doug Reusable Habitats Sticker Pad 6. Psychobaby Digi Rainbow Flip Flops 7. Psychobaby Over the Rainbow Water Bottle 8. Psychobaby Eat Em Up Cheeseburger Flip Flops 9. Appaman Swim Short in Seagrass 

10. Appaman Fisherman Hat in Khaki 11. Melissa and Doug Flip to Win Memory Game

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!
