Southern Brand

I've been out of Texas for about a month now & I have really come to appreciate some things you find in the South. You'll be hard-pressed to find biscuits and gravy up North, and people aren't too big on 'yes ma'am' and 'no sir.' Don't get me wrong, I am loving the experience of living in Pennsylvania, but my roots run deep in the South. Perhaps that is why I like Southern Brand so much. This company offers unique products like limited edition Cowhide Slip Covers, perfect for your iPod or cell phone, and cowhide koozies. Little ones will look adorable in tees declaring that they're a lil' bit country. Personally I have a long wish list that includes the Country and Southern Belle tees that have been through a vintage wash process. Of course, gentlemen have several great options available, as well.

Booby Trap

Booby Trap Children's Apparel is a young brand that has been star-tested and parent-approved. Based in Los Angeles, this company has designed glow in the dark one-zzzs, jumpers, rompers and tees for little bats (boys) & sweet cupcakes (girls). Little ones will be comfy and stylish in the Battitude Sweet Pea onsie featuring an original illustration by Marco Rached, Jr. The rompers look especially comfortable...too bad they don't come in adult sizes! Booby Trap also offers crib shoes that look like fashionable adult shoes that are heelarious. I also love the absolutely adorable Sadie cowgirl boots.

my lil tees

My lil tees is the result of two best friends and their labor of love. Jennifer Lawrence and Nadine Savino's baby apparel company specializes in affordable embroidered onesies, tees and hats. All products are exceptionally soft, heavy weight and available in long or short sleeves. Baby boys will be absolutely adorable in onesies embroidered with frogs, monsters or personalized pieces. There's lots of precious designs to choose from for the little girls, too. Lil cupcake and lil sister are two of my favorite designs. And don't miss the adorable knotted caps that can also be embroidered & customized.

Huddy Buddy

Huddy Buddy is the place to find hip threads for your little one. Their limited-edition holiday designs are adorable...and on sale! You will find many unique pieces for girls and boys alike. I love the baby onesies declaring "New" for those newborns we all know & love. Huddy Buddy also has humorous designs for twins and siblings. Check out all the wonderful pieces this company has to offer. And be sure to enter the November giveaway for your chance to win a $75 gift certificate from Huddy Buddy!

WilloToons

WilloToons features the fantastic illustrations of Willo O'Brien. Her designs are reminiscent of those carefree childhood days when our imagination knew no boundaries. Her shop has a wide variety of products, including those for children, as well as adults. I especially love the onesies and baby bibs featuring Willo's artwork. The embroidered Cat Power tee for women is adorable & I absolutely love the whale! The WilloToons website has a terrific gift ideas section including the Splash embroidered tee & matching onesie combo. Enter the August giveaway for your chance to win a Splash set for yourself!

Sandbox Threads

I so often write about stay-at-home moms turned entrepreneurs. It's a nice change of pace to write about a stay-at-home father who has begun his own enterprise. Andy, father of two, started Sandbox Threads specializing in cool baby clothes, onesies and t-shirts. His designs are original & fun as demonstrated by the Steve Martin design. There's a wide variety of styles ranging from humorous to artistic. Some parents may be drawn to the apparel featuring imagery of vintage toys & advertisements. As a child I loved my Wonder Woman Underoos, so I would definitely be dressing my child in a Wonder Woman tee! Of course, Say Anything is also very reminiscent of my childhood.

ETA: Andy has generously set up a promo code for Funky Finds readers! Receive 20% off your order with the code funkyfinds. Expires September 30th.

Rudechix

Rudechix has to be one of my favorite finds of all time. Their sarcastic & somewhat rude designs force you to laugh regardless of how offensive (or non-offensive) you find them to be. Rudechix has something for everyone including women, men and children. I have seen some of the children's products in person & can attest to the high-quality materials & print job. These are definitely not your run-of-the-mill baby designs, but they are funky & entertaining. There's even cute designs for baby surfers! Enter the children's goods giveaway before midnight CST on March 31st for your chance to win several Rudebabies tees for your wee one.
