Coronavirus survival guide with grandkids

Coronavirus Grandparents Survival Guide

Coronavirus as everyone knows by now is impacting older people the most, especially those with underlying health issues.  If that was not hard enough, many are being forced to isolate themselves from loves ones out of fear that infected family members might pass along the virus to them. Here’s a helpful link to the CDC website to better understand the Coronavirus.

Coronavirus Hurting Grandparents in More Ways Than One

Coronavirus photo

If these health concerns aren’t enough, grandparents are also hurting from not seeing their beloved grandchildren. Personally, I am a grandmother to three beautiful granddaughters, two of whom live right around the corner from me. It’s been two weeks now since I’ve seen them up close and personal. My husband Richard and I saw our youngest one last weekend (wearing masks of course)  but that’s it for awhile until this thing passes. 

Coronavirus Survival Guide for Grandparents

Fortunately, there are other ways to stay in touch. Here are some ideas on how you can stay connected with your grandchildren if you’re locked down in isolation.

  1. Use the telephone. The kids will want to talk to you because in all probability they’re really  bored without school, play groups, sports, etc.
  2. Face time them (if you have it). This is a great way to interact with the kids. You can read them books at bedtime or play brain teasers during the day to stimulate their brain.
  3. Write them notes and letters. Writing is a lost art, except for short texts and emails. Sit down and write them an old fashion letter. Encourage them to answer in kind.
  4. Cook their favorite things. The way to a person’s heart is still very much through their stomach! Delivery may be an issue, especially if they don’t live close.
  5. Tell them how much you love them and reassure them that everything is going to be okay. Remember, kids especially have a hard dealing with scary events such as this. Your reassurances will go a long way to calming their fears.

Finally,  the Coronavirus is something we’ll all have the deal with for better or worse. No one knows how bad things will get or how long this will last . But I for one have confidence that our Government, Healthcare System and Private Enterprise will get us through this in tact.

Stay safe everyone and remember to stay connected to the ones you love, especially the little ones.

Silly Phillie Introduces New Baby Boy Gift Basket

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Baby Gift Baskets.  It began with the article I posted last week in Silly Phillie News titled “New Parents Love Unique Baby Gift Baskets“. It got my creative juices flowing and inspired me to design a new baby boy gift basket.

“Thank Goodness” Baby Boy Gift Basket

Anyone in the market for a baby boy gift should love this new gift basket.  For starters, it features an attractive & functional linen storage basket.  The basket itself can be monogrammed with baby’s first or last initial to create a personalized baby gift.

Next, the basket is filled with cool things for baby. The signature piece is a premium quality 100% cotton interlock sleep gown & hat set.  The gown is embroidered with a charming “Thank Goodness for Little Boys” design .

Finally, this handsome baby boy gift basket is beautifully presented and elegantly wrapped in tulle to impress the new parents.

Baby Gift Baskets make choosing a baby gift simple

Many people surprisingly have a hard time choosing a baby gift. Partly because purchasing one is not an everyday occurrence and partly because some find it difficult deciding on items for a newborn baby.

A gift basket therefore takes the hassle out of making a decision. One caveat. Don’t be fooled by looks alone. Make sure the basket is filled with premium contents the new parents will appreciate using for their baby. One such example is the Snuggle Bunny Gift Baskets made by Silly Phillie® for BuyBuyBaby.

unique baby shower diaper cakes for twins

New from Silly Phillie®-Unique Baby Shower Diaper Cakes

Unique Baby Shower Diaper Cakes are always a big hit at a baby shower.  In fact,  you’ll often see one used as a baby shower centerpiece to decorate the table of the mother-to-be.  Sometimes, mini diaper cakes will be placed on each table at the shower to create a festive baby mood.

Traditional Baby Shower Diaper Cakes

Tasty Baby Shower Diaper Cakes made by Silly Phillie

Traditional diaper cakes are designed to look just like a cake.  Most often they come in two, three, and four layer configurations. Really good ones look fabulous and are made with diapers plus quality layette items for baby. The above photo, for example,  shows multi layer diaper cakes in pink and blue made by Silly Phillie® for 1800flowers.

Unique Baby Shower Diaper Cakes don’t have to look like a Cake

Who says all diaper cakes must look like a cake? Today, you’ll find many less traditional “diaper cakes” designed to look like something other than a cake. Some examples Include baby carriages, bassinets, strollers, sailboats, and lots of different animals.

In fact, Silly Phillie® just introduced two new animal inspired variations of a diaper cake. The first is an Elephant Diaper Cake for Twins.  It includes diapers and layette items for both babies! In addition, the gift can be customized to match the gender of the new arrivals. Gifts for twins are hard to find. Check out

Friendly Frog Ultimate Terry Bath Time gift set

Luxury Baby Gifts Made To Order By Silly Phillie

 

Silly Phillie® is known for making luxury baby gifts. Those gifts usually share common traits such as a distinctive style, upscale components for baby, plus a knockout gift presentation that never fails to impress even the most discerning of new parents.

Luxury Baby Gifts from Silly Phillie®

Many of the company’s luxury baby gifts are indeed large creations featuring a signature component. Examples include our beautiful wood rocking horses, rocking chairs, and  Deluxe Welcome Wagon™ toys.  These items usually come embellished with an abundance of quality layette items.

The latest luxury baby gifts from Silly Phillie® take a different path. Rather than basing the gift around a premium wood toy, these new gifts are luxurious based on the quality of the fabric and distinctiveness of the design.

That fabric is a super premium quality terry velour. It is meticulously woven from 14 oz 100% combed cotton yarn.  The result is a fabric so soft,  so absorbent  and so luxurious we had to call it “Ultimate Terry Velour”.  As a result, all of our hooded towels, bathrobes, bibs and burp pads are simply a cut above other quality terry items for baby.

Ultimate Terry Velour + Unique Designs = Luxury Baby Gifts

Friendly Frog Baby Bath time Ensemble is the latest luxury baby gift from Silly Phillie® featuring Ultimate Terry Velour fabric. The set includes a luxurious hooded bathrobe (18 mos.) and over-sized hooded towel (28″ x 44″). Both items feature an adorable frog design on the hood and are made to order in the USA by Silly Phillie®. The gift can also be ordered personalized as an option.

About Silly Phillie®

Silly Phillie® designs and manufactures unique baby gifts, layette accessories and kids bathrobes. They are lovingly made to order in the USA at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. Silly Phillie® branded merchandise is sold in retail stores, drop shipped for online e-retailers, and sold directly on sillyphillie.com.  Silly Phillie® Creations, Inc. is a woman owned family business since 1985.

Original Baby Hoagie ™ Layette Gift Set

The Original Baby Hoagie™ is a Cool Gift for Kids

Silly Phillie’s Original Baby Hoagie™ made the list of Cool Gifts for Kids published by Real Simple Magazine. In fact, it is number twenty two out of seventy seven selected products.  I am thrilled to have one of our most unique baby gifts recognized in such a way.

The origins of the Original Baby Hoagie™

The Original Baby Hoagie™ was conceived as a one time baby shower centerpiece for my niece Lainie Wilker’s baby shower. The shower was to be hosted by my sister Ricki Block at her home in San Diego, California.  I naturally wanted to contribute something special to the occasion as Lainie’s aunt and professional baby gift designer.  I also wanted it to have a definite East Coast flavor being that I am from New York.

My thought process led me to doing a spoof of a food related item. Specifically, I settled upon creating a Hoagie sandwich made exclusively from layette items for baby. My sister was a little apprehensive about the idea.  She was concerned that a whimsical rendition of a Hoagie might not be “sophisticated” enough for her fashionable West Coast lady friends.

Reaction to the Original Baby Hoagie™

The Original Baby Hoagie™ was the hit of my nieces’s baby shower I am happy to report. Everyone absolutely loved it. In fact, I left the baby shower inundated with orders from my sister’s friends! Needless to say Ricki  was very proud of her baby sister and I think more than a little bit relieved.

The Original Baby Hoagie™ went into production as soon as I returned to New York.  Fortunately, It became an immediate hit everywhere it was sold. That was quite some time ago. Today, the Original Baby Hoagie™ remains one of  Silly Phillie’s best selling gifts and most talked about products.

I’d like to give a special note of thanks to Victoria Sanchez-Lincoln, Fashion Director at Real Simple. She discovered the product at a public relations event earlier this year and was influential in getting it on the list of Cool Kids for Kids published by Real Simple.
