I am smitten with this Ziggy Monster coat by Tuff Cookie. It is made from polar fleece which looks very cozy. The monster on the pocket, however, is what makes the look. This coat is available in sizes from 12-18 months up to 4 years. You can purchase one for $64 at OlieBollen.com . This is sure to be a conversation starter wherever you go. Coordinating hats are also available.

Pure & Honest Kids is an attractive site with many great home page options, including “Gifts Under $50”, “Travel Must Haves”, and several other links to make shopping that much simpler. There’s a lot of stuff to get through on PureAndHonestKids.com so it’s a good thing they divide the site into categories. All the patterns and prints are a little confusing to the eye and it would be nice if they sectioned clothing into pants/shirts/etc. instead of lumping it all under designer names instead. It is a little easier to navigate the site by categories of boy/girl/infant boy/toddler boy/etc.
Did I find something up my alley at Pure & Honest Kids? I did like the Aqua Cable Hooded Sweater in sizes 12 and 24 months; I think it would go nicely with gray pants and a white tee. Pair it with cute shoes and call it an outfit! $32 and 100% Cotton, it’s a nice alternative to other hoodies.

I like the natural design and color of this Minky Cross-Tie Hooded Jacket and Pant Set by Cyndy Love Designs. It looks comfy enough to wear at home but pretty enough to wear on a special outing.

Children are very tactile and can be soothed by fabrics that stimulate their senses. The jacket has an inner cross-tie and velcro closure. It is made of 100% polyester and machine washable.

This hooded zip-up jacket by Kids Ink recently took my eye, as the colors and design are so bright and unusual. The manufacturers say it’s a great way to encourage self-expression, and I couldn’t agree more. It’s important to foster self-confidence and encourage individuality in children at a young age. The jacket is adorned with one-of-a-kind artwork designed by Kids Ink, and made of a polyester/cotton blend that machine washes easily. The jacket is available in a wide variety of sizes for babies and children, from 12-18 months up to 6 years old, and sells for $55.80 at Zappos.com.

I am always a sucker for cute hooded towels.  In all honesty, I never end up using them much after the earliest infant days, but I am always drawn to them, especially when they are cute and attractively packaged.  I find this organic hooded elephant towel from 3 Sprouts to be especially appealing.  First of all, the towel is made from organic cotton, so you can feel extra good about wrapping it around your little one.

As your child gets older, he or she will no doubt appreciate the cute little elephant as much as you do.  I for one love his little button eyes and polka dot ears. They also come in chicken and frog patterns

The towel, which is a favorite of celebrity parents, comes folded up neatly and tied with a ribbon, making it perfect for gift-giving.  You can buy one for $36 at BellyMaternity.com.

A favorite with numerous celebrities such as Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Little Giraffe makes blankets and towels that are designed to be the ultimate in comfort for little ones. This Little Giraffe Luxury Hooded Towel, an adorable bear ears hooded towel, is a great example of the kind of quality products that the company designs.

The towel is made from 100% cotton terry, and is made to be super-soft. It measures 24″ x 41″–a perfect size for a baby. As your child gets older, he or she will no doubt enjoy the pretend play that the sweet little ears inspire.

The towel is available in blue, chocolate, and pink, all of which are absolutely adorable. You can purchase one for $43.95 at Bugsandblossoms.com. I think it would make a very sweet little gift.

If you have ever bathed a splashing child, you will see the merit in owning a “Coocoose “the bath towel you wear” hooded baby towel. In our house, Daddy is in charge of bathing, as he can just remove his shirt and go right into the middle of the waterfall! However, it’s recommended for keeping your hands slip-free while handling wet baby, lowering the risk of bath time accidents. Made of 100% Turkish Cotton, it’s comfortable and soft for both mommy and baby and has a price of $80.00 regularly and $40.00 when on sale. Having considered the positives and recognized the advantage of such an item, I have to say that I’m not sure an $80.00 towel is worth it. I can’t imagine sinking my money into what is basically an apron. Don a robe if you’re that worried about getting wet. Also, if you’re wearing while bathing splashing baby, won’t it be awfully wet by the time you reach the drying process? However, if you’ve got the dough, why not splurge a little?
