This cute little birdie sweater from Sam’s Friends has a sweetness about it that I find irresistible. Sure I love bright zany prints for my girls, but sometimes it is nice to have something soft and serene too. This light blue sweater will really make blue eyes pop, and the embroidery and applique work is extra special. This sweater is available in sizes from 2T to 6 at  artebebe.com, where it retails for $69.

Makaboo allows users to create personalized gifts for loved ones right on their website. One example is this Angel Dear Classic Hoodie Jacket. Available in sizes from 0-6 months to 4T, you can personalize the hoodie with a monogram or child’s name. You choose the location, layout, thread color, and font of the personalization, and can preview it online. Made of 100% polyester and machine washable, the jacket is available in a variety of colors. It sells for $49.99 at Makaboo.com.

From sock favorite Trumpette comes this adorable hoodie. Made from organic cotton, it features an eco-friendly message in green lettering on one side and black and white stripes on the other. It is definitely hip and eye-catching. Available in infant sizes up to 24 months, this hoodie will get your little one noticed. You can purchase one for $57 at babyearth.com.

I love this simple Birdie Hoodie from Jasper Hearts Wren. I think it would be great for either a boy or a girl this fall.  Your little one can wear it as a lightweight jacket or as an all-day layer on cooler days. It would look wonderful paired with jeans and some funky sneakers. You can purchase one in toddler sizes from 2-6 at blackwagon.com, where it retails for $50.

I love the idea of cashmere for my kids, although I’m afraid I’m not brave enough to purchase it, especially since on one notable occasion a sweater of my own was decimated in record time by two chocolate-covered hands. So, when I see cute sweaters like this Lucky Jade Trees Cotton Cashmere Hoodie Sweater, I have to wonder a bit about what children actually wear them. I love the tree print. It is sweet and earthy, and I’m sure it is as comfy as can be.  Although machine washable, I just can’t imagine keeping this clean. If you have cleaner kids than I, or simply more talent/patience with laundry, you can purchase one on sale for $60 (down from $84) at designpublic.com. It is available in sizes from 3-6 months up to 4T. I think it would be suitable for either a boy or a girl. I just wouldn’t give it as a gift as, beautiful though it is, it might become a stress to the parent who has to maintain it.

This Munster Kids Mud Looney Hoodie is a great option for comic book and super-hero fans. Made from 100% cotton, it features a fun print reading “SMASH” and “KAPOW” on a black background. This would make a great lightweight jacket or a good layering piece. You can purchase one for $69.95 at tuttibella.com. It comes in sizes from 2-10.

I stumbled upon rockyourbaby.com and loved the “Little Hell Raiser” hoodie. Though it’s maybe not the wisest decision to put a swear word (though a light one) on your baby’s sweatshirt, it really is super cute and it suits my youngest son to a t. About $29 US ($44 Australian), it’s sold in sizes 3-6 M, 6-12 M, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Ideal with jeans but great for throwing over just about anything, I think any little guy (or gal) would rock this hoodie and get a few giggles and stares from onlookers. Have a look at the jeans available on the site for a cute match.

Saks.com currently has many Juicy Couture summer clearance items on sale, including this Toddler/Little Girls’ Velour Hoodie. Regularly $78, it’s now on sale for $38.90. Shipping is free through August 19 with code SFASUM9 at checkout. This short-sleeved hoodie is perfect for late summer/early autumn months. Check out Saks.com for other Juicy Couture pieces on sale.

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.

If you haven’t found Dad a Father’s Day gift yet, here’s the perfect solution. What Dad wouldn’t love their child to wear a hoodie proclaiming “My Dad Rocks”? Tiny Tots With Style is offering this great testament to dads on a zip-front hoodie, made in the USA from soft-spun cotton. The hoodie is available in black or white, and with sizes from 6 months to age 6, you should be able to find the perfect gift that, while Dad won’t be able to wear himself, he’ll be proud to see his son or daughter wearing. You can purchase this hoodie for $40 at TinyTotsWithStyle.com.

Recently I came across the perfect hoodie for a little boy: the Collin Reversible Hoodie made by Hand Picked Pumpkin. It is absolutely adorable! Made of 100% interlock cotton, this hoodie is so soft and not too heavy for warmer spring or cooler summer days. The beautiful cocoa brown hoodie is offset by blue trim and rodeo music players on the lining. It snaps, so it’s easy to get on and off baby. Angela Bassett’s son Slater was wearing this hoodie on the Oprah Winfrey Valentine’s Day Show. At $54, it’s not overpriced for the average person, either, and it’s reversible, so you’re really getting two hoodies in one! To view this cute hoodie, visit HandPickedPumpkin.com.

The problem with my past Gymboree addiction is that even the new girls’ lines look like clothes we already own. So, I decided to browse the boys’ side of the store for a change. This cute whale hoodie immediately caught my attention. I always have a soft spot for whale prints because they remind me of my childhood in the 80s. Do you remember the shoelaces with little whales printed on them? That is what I immediately thought of when I saw this hoodie. Perfect for a boy, but also great for a girl, this piece could be worn as a layer, or as a lightweight jacket. Available in sizes from 0-3 up to 18-24 months, it is on sale for $20 through the end of March. After that, regular retail is $24.75. You can purchase one at Gymboree.com.

I think hooded sweatshirts on boys are the cutest things going. The Me Too Baby Kadla Happy Dog Sherpa Fleece Hoodie Jacket is just the thing for any baby gift or to make that ideal ensemble for baby. The vivid colors and cute doggy on the front will work perfectly worn with jeans or cargo shorts and a white tee. It’s available for 0-3, 3-6, and 6-9 month babies. It’s a shame it doesn’t come in larger sizes, because 9-12 or 12-18 are sizes that seem to last the longest. Best of all, it’s on sale for 32 % off at $30 at PolkaDotPatch.com.

OshKosh is one of those classic children’s clothing brands that make you think of quality. This cute fleece hoodie in heather gray is one example. It has the OshKosh applique emblazoned across the front, and a warm fleece lining. Your son can stash his treasures from his travels in its two pockets. The ribbed trim helps this hoodie maintain its shape. It is machine washable, another plus when you are dressing a little boy. Although this is marketed for boys, it could just as easily be worn by a girl. You can view this hoodie at Kohls.com, where it is currently on sale for just $12 (down from $30) and is available in a limited size range.

This resembles a cell phone or iPod case, but it is a Hoodie Camera Case, made by Built. How many times have you thrown your camera into the diaper bag? Later, when you look through the shots you took, you find a few “ghostly” pics of the inside of the bag. As long as you have children you’re going to have a camera handy. It’s a good idea to use a camera case not only to prevent photo accidents, but to protect your camera. The material is Neoprene and it stretches to fit a range of slim line cameras. It has a hard EVA core for extra protection and an inside pocket for those little memory cards (and extra batteries).

Visit inchbug.com to purchase this item for $14.95, available in Solid Black or Dot print.
