A more stylish humidifier

Patty — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 14:11:31 +0000

With flu season around the corner, many parents will be shopping for humidifiers very soon. But are they all ugly, loud and unexciting? Not if you pick up a Crane humidifier.

Since 2005, Crane has been creating these adorable animal shaped cool mist humidifiers. They’ve made every animal you can think of. Frogs, ducks, pigs, even a dragon. They’ve even added licensed humidifier designs such as Hello Kitty, Thomas the Tank and SpongeBob Squarepants.

But even more impressive than their designs is their long list of awards. Everyone from the National Parenting Center to Pediatric Planet has endorsed Crane, not just for being pretty but also for being so functional. One water refill last up to 11 hours.

Orbit – A Celebrity Staple

Patty — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 00:32:41 +0000

When I first saw the Orbit Travel System at the ABC Kids Expo a few years back, I thought it was a cool idea. But would people buy such a modern stroller, that doesn’t look like anything else on the market? The answer is yes, they would and did. The Orbit quickly became one of the hottest products around, especially in Hollywood.

According to Coolspotters, 76 celebrities own Orbits. In fact, it’s the most spotted celebrity baby product to date. But why?

There are many theories on why it’s so popular in Hollywood. Obviously, there is nothing else like it. No one has been able to knock off an Orbit yet like they have the Bugaboo. But it’s also the greenest stroller on the market too. The micro-fiber upholstery fabric of all Orbit seats is certified by the International Oeko-Tex Association. Orbit is the first and only car seat or stroller company to achieve this certification for any fabrics, let alone all fabrics used. So you can see why the green moms in Tinseltown love it.

Another great feature though is the ability to use the toddler car seat as part of the travel system. Besides the Sit N Stroll, the Orbit is the only other stroller that does this. It’s very convient for parents, especially those living in places like NYC or other taxi cities.

But whatever the reason may be, Orbit isn’t losing its popularity anytime soon. The redesigned G2 strollers have been a hit and Orbit finally launched in Canada this year.

Industry Insider-Nava Writz (Nava’s Designs-luxury linens)

admin — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 22:37:40 +0000

One of Bellini’s favorite bedding companies, is designer to the stars Nava Writz of Nava’s Designs. You can see Nava’s collection at www.navasdesigns.com…here’s what this industry insider had to say.

1. How did you get started in the baby business?

I started out as a sales associate at “Bellini“. Within weeks of employment, I was promoted to store manager and then to in-house baby bedding and store display designer. they said about me “Nava brought a flare to nursery bedding that no one had seen before, truly pioneering the concept of high-end custom “couture baby bedding.” In 1986, with $20,000 in savings, Nava courageously set out on her own to start NAVA’S DESIGNS! Upon Nava’s very first day in business, she landed her first account; a retailer called The Juvenile Shop in Sherman Oaks, CA. They remain her loyal “customer to this day!

2. What is your all time favorite bedding set you ever designed?

Love is in the Air it’s a bedding set for my imaginary baby girl smiling.

3. What is your favorite celebrity room you ever worked on?

Slash. I just love the irony. A “rock star” with such a classic nursery.

4. Who inspires you?

I would have to say that traveling the world is what inspires me the most. I get a lot of ideas from my trips to the city. Just walking through the local markets, arts & craft shows, antique markets, and fabric stores. I am not a “one-type” inspiration type of a person.

5. What decorating advice do you have for expecting parents about their nursery?

It’s not just ”another room”. Your baby’s room is one that represents the biggest change in your life. I’d recommend going for it all, colors & theme included. Create a place in which you can reflect later via pictures and video clips and be proud to say, “this was your baby room”
