Rose Bear Mommy & Baby Gift Set

We’re really excited about our new Rose Bear Mommy & Baby Gift Set. It’s a brand new original design only from Silly Phillie!

Rose Bear for Mommy

A Rose Bear is a teddy bear made from hundreds of little roses. The roses in this bear are made from synthetic foam, offering a great alternative to live flowers, which would only wilt in a few days. Instead, these roses stay fresh indefinitely, making this Rose Bear an exciting keepsake gift for the new mommy to treasure forever!

Rose Bear Layette for Baby

Silly Phillie’s Rose Bear Gift Set includes three soft, 100% cotton receiving blankets to wrap baby with love. The blankets are cleverly presented as a flower bouquet to complement the Rose Bear theme, Receiving blankets are made in the USA by Silly Phillie. In addition, an adorable soft bear character wrist rattle is included to help stimulate baby’s senses.

Rose Bear Mommy & Baby Keepsake Photo Album for the Entire Family

Every family needs a quality photo album to keep baby’s precious photos safely in place. Rose Bear Mommy & Baby Gift Set includes one that’s definitely top of the line. The photo album has these desirable features: able size (12″ x 9″) to hold lots of photos; plenty of photo corners to keep photos in place; clear plastic page protectors; plus a cutout on the front cover in which to personalize the album with a photo of baby.

All in all, Rose Bear Mommy & Baby Gift Set has something for everyone!

Personalized Globe best gifts for kids

Leave a reply

Silly Phillie® is always on the lookout for uncommon gifts for kids. Whether it’s one of our beautiful and unique baby gifts, or a gift for an older child, count on Silly Phillie® to offer the very best gift ideas for kids.

One such idea is our new personalized globe of kids. A globe is an essential learning tool for children. I personally feel that no child’s room should be without one. My kids had a globe in their room from a very young age-unfortunately not nearly as nice as this one-and now so due my grandchildren.

Illuminating Globe among the very best gifts for kids

Our personalized 10″ illuminating globe is one of the coolest globes for kids you’ll ever find anywhere. It features more than 125 drawings of people, landmarks and animals for kids to explore. Turn the light on to see physical map showing hidden aquatic animals such as lantern fish and ship wrecks such as Titanic.

Kids Globe Illuminated

The illuminated globe also shows areas of tectonic plates of the Earth. Find the “Pacific Ring of Fire” showing earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation. This globe will become a perfect companion to any child’s imagination.

Made in the USA gifts for kids!

It’s rare today to find high quality gifts for kids made in the USA. But just like Silly Phillie® baby gifts, this globe for kids is made in the USA to the highest quality standards. Whether giving one as a baby gift, birthday gift, or for some other special occasion, you can be sure you’re giving a gift of quality and thoughtfulness.

Unique Baby Gifts for Girl that Impress

Leave a reply

Unique baby gifts for girl surprisingly are not that easy to find. Not because there’s a lack of choices. Quite the contrary. The market is inundated with baby girl gifts making it difficult to sort through the clutter.

Another factor is that most baby gifts for girl look too much alike. Unfortunately, many product designers/manufacturers are content to offer “me to” products rather than coming up with original design ideas. This a pet peeve of mine as a designer, but that’s a subject for another day.

5 Unique Baby Gifts for Girl

Pretty in Pink Welcome Wagon

Pretty in Pink Deluxe Welcome Wagon. Every little girl should have her own special welcome wagon pull toy. This limited edition one from Silly Phillie® is pretty in pink, filled with gorgeous layette and can be personalized too!
Triple Layer Grand Baby Cake. Baby girl gifts don’t come tastier than this diaper cake from 1800flowers. Three layers tall and made with premium ingredients, this one will satisfy anyone’s craving for a unique baby girl gift.
Baby Girl Rocking Hose and Layette. A classic baby gift if there ever was one. However, you won’t find solid wood rocking horse gift sets everywhere these days. Check it out at storkbabygifts.com.
Owl Character Hooded Towel. There’s lots of hooded towels for baby girls but only one you’ll give a “hoot” about. Precious design and top quality too. Check it out at buybuybuy.com.

New from Silly Phillie®-Unique Baby Shower Diaper Cakes

Leave a reply

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.

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

Unique Baby Shoer Diaper Cakes-Caterpillar Gift Set

New Caterpillar Diaper cake Baby Gift from Silly Phillie

The second is the Caterpillar Baby Shower Centerpiece Gift Set. This one is made for a single baby and includes the customary diapers and layette items you’d expect in a diaper cake from Silly Phillie®. We’re excited about these unique new animal inspired baby shower diaper cakes. Look for others to follow in the near future.

Luxury Baby Gifts Made To Order By Silly Phillie

Leave a reply

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.

Uncommon Baby Gifts make a lasting Impression

Leave a reply

The search for Uncommon Baby Gifts typically begins when a baby shower invitation arrives or someone just had a baby. This could be a family member, friend, co-worker or business associate.

Let’s face it, a new baby is one of the most exciting and momentous occasions in life. As a result, it is only natural to want to celebrate the event with a very special gift for the new baby.

There’s also another reason. Everyone knows that parents are inundated with gifts for a new baby. Consequently, a gift must be unique in order to stand out and have a chance of being fondly remembered as time passes.

Where to find Uncommon Baby Gifts

The Internet is definitely the best place to begin looking for uncommon baby gifts. Some people have a “go-to-gift” they like to give. Most others need to search for one. But beware, there’s a bewildering number of manufacturers websites and e-commerce baby boutiques to shop on the internet.

I suggest you start your search on Etsy.com. Etsy has a wide selection of uncommon baby gifts that are crafted in the USA by small manufacturers. If you don’t find something you like on Etsy, try searching on Google using the search terms “uncommon baby gifts” and “unique baby gifts”.

What makes a great baby gift?

Just because something is uncommon doesn’t make it a fantastic baby gift. A gift for a baby must also be incredibly cute, purposeful and filled with lots of love. Personalized baby gifts of practically any kind are always a big hit with new parents.

How to profit from Wholesale Baby Gifts

Leave a reply

Wholesale baby gifts are purchased and sold by a variety of different brick & mortar retailers. And for good reason. Baby gifts as a category sell well, usually at full markup, and produce minuscule returns. The type of stores that profit from selling baby gifts are Baby Boutiques, Hospital Gift shops, General Gift Stores, Florists, Department and Specialty Stores.

What to look for in Wholesale Baby Gifts

Most retail stores today have a limited amount of shelf space and sales personnel. Given these obstacles, a baby gift must possess a great amount of presence in order to stand out and be noticed. Moreover, the following is a list of attributes to look for in wholesale baby gifts:

Eye-catching presentation
Uniqueness
Quality components
Gender specific theme
Clear description of contents
Price competitiveness

Best ways to find Wholesale Baby Gifts

There are several ways to shop for wholesale baby gifts. The first and fastest is to search the internet. It is quite common for manufacturers to showcase their products on a company website. Most also allow qualified retailers to place orders online.

Second, industry trade shows are a great way of actually seeing lots of products in one place. A trade show is also a good place to discover new vendors and find new products that are being introduced at the show,

Finally, shopping retail stores in your area is a must. It is vital to know what products are being sold by competition, and learn about their pricing & merchandising strategies in order to refine your selling efforts.

The Original Baby Hoagie™ is a Cool Gift for Kids

Leave a reply

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.
