It's always nice to stumble across a little surprise that tells you you're doing something right...

Pin It

And that's how we felt when we were reading Babble.com's list of the Best Baby Shower Gifts for 2012 and were pleasantly surprised to see our monthly stickers for babies featured as one of the best! This is the second year in the row that we've been chosen for this honor and we truly are humbled. Of course, we do agree that our stickers make a pretty awesome baby shower gift, but we're glad someone else thinks so, too!

Think about it - how many baby blankets and onesies did you get at your shower? How many gifts did you get that seemed fabulous but were only used by baby for a few months or so? (Clothing, swing, swaddles, etc.) It's pretty great that our $15 pack of stickers will last the new parents an entire year AND provide them with adorable baby photos that will last a lifetime! Giving the gift of memories is really the greatest gift of all, don't ya think?

We're also quite excited that a few of our own favorite baby products also made the Babble's list AND we loved that we discovered some new products to consider for our Sticky Bellies' baby-to-be! Here are a few that caught our eye, or ones that are good friends & old favorites!

Blabla Dolls - our very favorite stuffed animals for kids of all ages! Our daughter received her first one when she was born and we buy one on every birthday now as a little tradition.

Skip Hop Complete-Sheet Bumper Free Bedding - Love that this still maintains the fun look of a bumper while keeping baby safe!

Earth Angel Mama Baby skin care products - Haven't tried these yet but I've heard nothing but good things and can't wait to give them a test run with Baby #2.

Chewbeads teething jewelry - I love that these teething necklaces look just like a necklace I would wear even if I didn't have baby! Stylish, functional, safe. LOVE IT!
