review & giveaway {sugar babies}

Posted on | July 25, 2010 | 98 Comments

this giveaway is now closed! congrats to Lindsay!

so remember the adorable red polka dot bikini Harper wore to the sprayground yesterday? it was courtesy of Sugar Babies, a boutique local store for babies, mamas and toddlers. before you leave all huffy puffy because it’s local, wait! you can shop online! we’re talking clothes, accessories, baby gear, diaper bags and adorable and perfect gifts for your next baby shower. we decided since it’s (kind of, somedays) summer, we would get H a swimsuit and this cutie by Ruffle Butts is really too cute for words (hence the following photo).

besides being cute, the suit is well made and dried fast (the sun probably helped!). i love the way the top covers all the baby bits (just saying!) and didn’t slide up at all, even though she was running around and through water. it goes without saying the bottoms are the best part, because the toosh is all ruffly and cute – hence the name. the other part i loved was how stretchy both parts are – because sometimes baby suits are a pain to get on and off, especially when wet. and the whole adorable shebang is only $24.

for mamas and mamas to be, they carry all the maternity support, nursing covers and cute tees you could ever want. you can even register online for all of the cute clothes and accessories you want for your new munchkin. if you’re like me, you like to get a little something fun and squee-worthy for new babies, even if it may not be the most practical thing, because let’s face it – shopping for baby stuff is the best. i’d love to say this isn’t a necessity…but it’s hard for me to type. because seriously? look at this:

yeah.

so! if you’re in the south puget sound area, you can check out Sugar Babies for yourself in down town Sumner, and obviously if you’re not, then check them out online here. right now there is free shipping on orders over $99, and they have ergos and strollers and all that good baby gear. take a look whether you want something for your kiddo or a baby shower coming up.

Sugar Babies is offering a Ruffle Butts bikini to one lucky reader of the Haps! they have many cute patterns that you can check out here, but H wouldn’t mind at all if you wanted to be twins with her. and if you have a little dude, try not to fret, there may be another giveaway down the road with SB!

there are a few ways to enter:

  • leave a comment here on what strikes your fancy over at Sugar Babies. a specific brand they carry? a piece of gear you’ve been coveting?
  • “like” Sugar Babies on Facebook
  • follow Sugar Babies on Twitter

you can do one, two or all three, just remember to be sure to leave a SEPARATE comment here for each so they count as entries! we will accept entries through this Thursday, July 29th at midnight PST and announce the winner Friday July 30th.

good luck!

Sugar Babies sent us a Ruffle Butts bikini at no charge in return for a review. no compensation was received for this review and the thoughts and opinions within are my own.

    Are those the lamb jackets from Bunnies by the Bay??? They ARE! I freaking love that stuff. Our local gift store stopped selling it, awesome to find someone who does! Did you see this: http://www.shopsugarbabies.com/item_1211/Bunnies-… ???? OMG.

    p.s. I don't even care that Baby Evan is a boy, I might put him in that bikini anyway, because it's JUST THAT CUTE.

    how perfectly cute! best baby bikini EVAH. i love that it covers everything – seriously how GROSS are skimpy baby/toddler bikinis?! nice that it stays in place too – i hate when i buy clothes for poppy only to realize i constantly have to adjust them alllll day long!

    personally, i'd LOVE to get my hands on an ergo carrier – poppy is outgrowing her bjorn but i still love wearing her whenever she lets me. (: and of course the ruffle butt bikinis are completely adorable.
