Little Miss Heirlooms is currently selling this vintage Fisher-Price Perky Pot, which some of us might remember from our childhoods. The pot measures 7″ x 5 1/2″. It pops when you turn the crank. Hard to find, this toy would be a great piece for collectors, or even as a retro toy for a young one. You can purchase it for $45 at LittleMissHeirlooms.com (but be quick if you’re interested, as this is the only one currently in stock).

I received a Kewpie doll when I was very little, and I still have it. She was never my favorite doll (she wasn’t as flashy as my other dolls, and is admittedly a bit homely), but she was a constant. So, when I saw this 100th anniversary Kewpie, I wanted it immediately. My daughter, on the other hand, was less than impressed, and suggested “Creepy” might be a better name for it. I’ll begrudgingly admit I can understand that a bit, but I’m still fond of this silly-looking baby. While she is described as a collectible and recommended for ages 14+, she’d make a great decoration or keepsake, particularly if you enjoy a vintage look. Her body is made from vinyl, so you don’t need to worry that curious little hands will break her. You can purchase this classic for $39.99 at backtobasicstoys.com.

I remember playing with one of these at my grandmother’s house when I was a small child. So, I was delighted to see them make a comeback. In a day when my kids have portable video games and DVD players in the car, it is nice to have something so simple and yet so charming. My infant loves the musical aspect of it. My three year old seems fascinated by it as well. I have even caught my ten year old playing with it! You can purchase one of these toys for $29.95 at fatbraintoys.com. I’ve also seen them at Target. There are other fun retro toys in this line as well. I’m just waiting for the little record player with the colored “records.”

Tube socks seem to be making a comeback. I recently saw this somewhat disturbing trend on teenage girls while we were on vacation. While I don’t care for the look on adults, it is pretty cute on wee ones. This Hank and JoJo Retro Baby Tube Socks set lets you and your baby get in on teh fun. It features four colorful pairs made from Bamboo using toxin-free dyes all packed in a sweet little lunchbox. You can purchase the set, which would make a great gift, for $30 at modernmoppet.com.

Crayon holders are a great, practical idea for kids, and this Retro Dot Crayon Holder by etsy seller KateWDesigns is an attractive way for your child to hold and carry crayons wherever she goes. I like the fact that the crayon holder rolls up easily to fit into Mom’s purse, diaper bag, the car, a backpack — wherever. I can’t count the number of times I’ve been in a restaurant with my son, who’s bored and hungry, and crayons aren’t offered by the hostess to entertain him. If I can’t find a stray crayon or two in the bottom of my pocketbook, he’s not happy. Now, I won’t have to worry, as I can easily carry crayons with us on the go. You can view all of Kate Williams’ creations at KateWDesigns.etsy.com, where this Retro Dot Crayon Holder sells for $12.

It’s going to be shorts season soon (some days might already have qualified for shorts season where you live). These short overalls by Old School Acres bring back memories for many parents.

The white cotton knit shortalls feature an embroidered design of a little boy feeding his cat a treat on one leg. With a snap closure and snap crotch, these shortalls look comfortable for baby to wear this summer, and will make him (or her) look adorable as well.

Available in sizes from 3 to 24 months, this Sharing Ice Cream Short Overall sells for $36 at thebabygardener.com.

I love this Sweet Potatoes Doole the Poodle T-Shirt Dress. It is reminiscent of the poodle skirt of the fifties. The poodle actually has a gold charm around its neck that makes this outfit extra fun and special.

I love these child-size tents for little ones. Sometimes we forget that they need their space too. This Rodeo Teepee by Lucy and Michael reminds me of my childhood so I guess it’s a little retro.

The Hoohobbers Retro Circle Sleeping Bag solves some important problems with sleeping bags. First, it comes with an attached pillow so you don’t have to pack one separately or stuff one into the bag. Second, it has its own carrying belt so you just have to roll it up and tie it up. With these simple additions, your chances of getting the sleeping bag back in one piece are much better. I don’t know how many times I’ve packed sleeping bags for my children and they usually come back unfolded, sans pillow. This Hoohobbers Sleeping Bag is child-size and looks compact and easy to handle.

The sleeping bag is over 2 1/2″ thick, and is lined with fluffy , cozy double-brushed flannel 100% cotton.

I have never used a Mei Tai carrier, but I have always admired them and I know many moms, my sister included, who swear by them.  Mei Tais have been used in Asia for thousands of years to keep babies safe while allowing mothers to carry out necessary tasks.  The adjustable design allows these carriers to be used for front, back, or side carrying, and they are one-size-fits all, so anyone can use it–Mom, Dad, Grandma, or the babysitter.

I like the fun print on this Mei Tai from With Child.  The blue retro guitar print shown above is fun and hip and the color combination is eye-catching.  It can also be reversed to plain brown, should you desire a more subdued look.  It is cleverly designed with a loop for attaching toys or keys and a hidden pocket where you can stick cash,a cell phone, or other small necessities while you are out with your baby.  As a bonus, the Mei Tai Baby Carrier can be used for discreet nursing.

This carrier is made from 100% cotton/twill and canvas, and can support a child up to 35 pounds.  You can purchase one for $75 at UrbanBabyRunway.com.

This has got to be one of the cutest little hats I have seen in a long time. Made by Goorin Brothers, which has been making stylish hats since 1895, it features a photo-printed patch of a retro tractor. This cap is classic and edgy all at the same time. It has an elastic back to ensure a good fit, and a firm brim in the front. This could definitely add a bit of character to any outfit. It doesn’t really fit in with my daughters’ wardrobes, but I could see one of my nephews in it for sure. You can buy one of these adorable hats for $17 at oliebollen.com. Or, check out the entire line of cute hats for boys and girls at goorin.com.
