This just in...Eebee's Adventures!

We are so excited to have gotten our Eebee's Adventures in this week! What is an eebee you ask? Eebee is a really cute crazy looking character that goes on adventures with your infant or toddler. Based on the latest research on how babies learn and grow, eebee’s adventures are designed to help you and your baby transform everyday play, observation and exploration into learning that lasts.

Eebee’s adventures focus on the developmental skills that babies are working on and use as the foundation of all future learning. They provide models and ideas for enriching ordinary moments by presenting playful and real situations that young children (and parents!) can actually understand, build on and learn from.

Eebee’s adventures feature eebee, the baby’s baby, along with infants 6 months and older who play and discover in a world that is real, engaging, and rich with possibilities.

Eebee has received several awards including an iParenting Media Award and has been mentioned in every magazine from Us Weekly to Baby Talk Magazine! Check out the eebee's adventures website to learn more about how parents can interact better with their kids then get over to Swagger Gift's and starting buying this for your NEW BABY GIFTS - I know this is what I will be giving!

See you soon, Mandy

This just in...NEW Scout Bags!

It's Groundhog Day...but not at Swagger! New "stuff" is arriving daily to keep us all on our toes and out of the "same thing different day" rut!

What arrived today? New SCOUT Bags by Bungalow! And for the record, I want to work at Bungalow:) I know it's not Groundhog day over there! How much fun would it be to come up with the names of the new bags? This time they came out with the "napoleon", "pleasure chest", "ice ice baby", and more! Let alone their design team is fantastic - we LOVE all the new patterns! We are especially psyched about the Alphabet pattern - great for little kids rooms and diaperbags - soooo cute! We noticed at market that pink and orange are going to be huge this year - and of course there is a SCOUT bag in this color combo! Come in soon to see all the new fabrics and designs... you know how fast they sell out!

What to use the bags for? Here are some ideas:

1. Ice Ice Baby cooler: new material! Heat-sealed seams to prevent leaks

2. Micro Deano 2.0: New release of the popular “micro deano” now with a zipper closure! Makes a great purse!
3. The Napoleon: All purpose multi-pocket tote- perfect for the gardener, a college shower tote or baby stuff (in the print shown)

4. Pleasure Chest: Insulated picnic cooler- perfect for pool, beach or tailgating events!

5. The Daytripper: the “everyday” tote- great for office, gym, school, kids stuff or a purse.

On another note, Trollbeads announced the Retired Beads for 2010! We have purchased as many as we can, so come by ASAP if there is one that you have "been meaning to get"! Some of my favorites were retired, and I know they won't last long!

See you soon! Mandy
