So so stoked to be awarded the Parents World Best of the Best in Babies & Kids Products/Services for our ChooMee Sip’ns! ??
If you are planning on use food pouches, the Sip’ns are definitely a must have in your bag!
2015 has been a crazy year for us. It was the year we really got out there and spoke to so many of you, our customers, face-to-face, via text messages or via Facebook.
We did things we never thought we would ever get a chance to do. We tried out baby fairs, thankful for other fellow vendors who gave us an opportunity to join them. We finally had our first booth in October 2015. THAT was mindblowing. That sense of pride to be able to share with you guys what we believed in, all under our brand.
We got our first distribution rights to the Sip’ns. We believe in the brand, and want to share with you how awesome this little product is! We will aim to have it in more stores, and make it easily accessible to you.
We are so so thankful for supportive suppliers. Suppliers who support us by providing us with our stock quickly, by doing shout-outs for our website. Suppliers who are MORE than just suppliers, who are friends. Suppliers who believe in us, share the same values as us and have a common goal.
Most of all, thankful for all of you. Most of you have become more than just our customers. Where possible, we have tried to ensure that you receive your orders as soon as possible. Where possible, we would recommend you the appropriate product so that you don’t waste money unnecessarily. Where possible, we would rather send you a sample to try it first; not because we don’t believe in our products, but because we want you to see that it works before you even purchase it.
Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you for willing to give us a shot.
Thank you for your continuous support.
You have not only given a small company like us a glimmer of hope that we are doing things right. You have given us a huge glow of light to show us how bright our future may be. It means a lot to us when you tell us you appreciate our services. And we will make sure it stays that way, the way it is right from the start. We will strive to bring you more essential products at affordable prices
From Big Little Me to our customers, our suppliers and our supporters, I hope you have a rawkin’ new year in 2016. It is going to be a BLAST!
Lots of love,
Justine, Donald, Oliver & Quentin
When you reach a certain age, you will realize that friends around you are starting to have babies and then there are baby showers to attend. One question that comes up frequently is ‘what should I get?’. At the back of your mind, you might be thinking about something practical and useful, but not cash or gift vouchers as it kind of lose the meaning of the gift. We have done the searching for you and compiled a list of practical and meaningful gifts in Singapore for baby shower.
Helping the Nursing Mum
Breastfeeding is a tiring but rewarding journey. Many will try and some will eventually choose to give-up because the circumstances just isn’t right. Support your friend with some help on her breast feeding journey. A nursing pillow can help to ease some load off the mother during feeds. Milk Storage bags are also something that mothers will find handy. Even when they are no longer feeding, the bags can be used to store puree for freezing. Would avoid milk bottles unless you pretty much know which ones to get.
Baby Care Products
What I am referring to here are not the usual baby moisturizing cream or body wash. I am referring to products that new parents may overlook because they never knew that they needed those. A baby is sure to have some form of nasal congestion, itchy spots, or bloated tummy at some point in time. Get these stuff for the new parents and they will appreciate your thought when the situation calls for it. For example, there is an organic vapor balm to ease nasal blockage (same as Vicks, only organic and does not contain petroleum), an organic tummy rub cream to relieve tummy wind (similar to Ru Yi oil, only organic and does not contain paraffin), or an organic cream that soothes itch and rashes. If you want, you can also consider an ear thermometer, because the baby is sure to have a fever and a reliable ear thermometer would come in handy.
Diaper Cake
We live in the age where disposable diapers are a norm in many household with babies. Diapers are also one of the biggest need for a new parent. A suggestion is to get ‘S’ size rather than ‘newborn’ as the baby can grow quite fast. But to just give diapers in the raw form may not look presentable. Get a diaper cake instead. A diaper cake is, firstly not edible and, made up of diapers to resemble a cake. The cakes are usually personalized and bundled with other baby products like baby bibs, blanket, and booties. However, only at The Diaper Cake Company, will you find that the diaper cakes are bundled with premium and organic baby care products that solves problems for the parents. You can actually check out their products at http://tdcc.sg/
Relaxing package for the mother
Reward the mother with a well-deserved spa or post-natal message. Some believe that it can help with getting back to shape and get rid of ‘wind’. Maybe a pedicure or foot spa for mothers who are not due because it can really be a treat after not being able to cut your own nails with the growing tummy. However, some shops may refuse to serve pregnant customers due to liability concerns.
Health Supplements
The norm has always been chicken essence, bird nest or even Yomeishu. If you know that your friend is someone who is not fond of these stuff, an alternative could be the InnerShine® Berry Essence by Brands. It contains the goodness of seven types of premium berries, and is an excellent source of antioxidants. It contains Zinc and is fortified with Vitamin A, C & E.
Have you ever wondered how you are going to clean your play mats, electronic toys, bouncers, walkers..oh the list goes on. Buds Organics’ Anti-Bac Toy & Surface Cleaner and our Bio+Green Crystals Multi-Surface & Toy Cleaner will do just that!
One is handy to take out with you to give those teethers a quick spritz and wipes; the other is economical enough to wipe down the entire play yard! Organic & perfectly safe for those little hands and mouths, and gentle on the cleaner’s hands too!
It’s coming to the end of the year and I am sure there are loads of parents gearing up for their year-end holidays..and some even winter holidays! (I introduced snow to the boys, and sadly they are not very interested in it! Gaah)
Now, if you are heading up north with the kiddies, then Buds’ Frost Defense Balm is the thing for you! As an adult, you would have experienced the biting wind, and the after effects of it: dry skin, chafed cheeks, even cold sores. Yikes! The little ones definitely need something more moisturising than your standard moisturisers for skin that will be exposed to the winds.
The balm is suffused with jojoba oil, sunflower oil and shea butter, creating a rich and moisturising barrier on exposed skin during the winter months. The inca inchi further augments the emollient actions of this protective balm. Inca inchi is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which is beneficial for the skin.
Another bonus is that it works well as a lip balm, and perfectly safe for babies!
Grab your Frost Defense Balm today and keep the little one’s skin protected!
We are totally sold on the quality of BeBeSup wipes and are now retailers of it!
One of our customers wanted to share with his pregnant friends about the BeBeSup wipes so we came up with these gift packs. They include a travel sized pack of the Zero, Sensitive & Sheer Gold wipes. We love our wipes and am sure you will too!
Feeding on the go, or the kids just needed a quick snack along the way?
Food pouches can come in handy for this purpose. However, parents may shun away from food pouches primarily for two reasons, they wonder about the nutrition intake, and the mess that can potentially come with it. We are not nutritionists, so we will not discuss about what’s in the pouch. What we do want to share are the options out there to help parents reduce the mess when introducing pouches to their kids. So lets talk about mess.
What caused the mess?
We know that at that young age, the kid’s fine motor control is not yet fully developed and sometimes, they may squeeze too hard on the pouch, and EVERYTHING comes out. So, as parents, we take over the role of feeding them by carefully squirting the content on a spoon and feed them with the spoon. Well, that’s fine, but not if you are feeding on the go or if you are driving. Also, it can be a challenge to squeeze the food on the pouch without accidentally squeezing too much!
To deal with this partially, companies have designed pouch spoons! Spoons that fit on top of the pouch and all you have to do is to squeeze the pouch and the content goes straight onto the spoon. In the market, there are a few options: Squooshi, Sinchies, Munchkin, and Vitalbaby have produced their own pouch spoons. You may have seen some of them in departmental stores or parents specialty shops in Singapore.
While pouch spoons overcome the the problem of having to squeeze the food onto a separate feeding spoon, it does not promote independent feeding or help to reduce the mess with accidental squeeze. To promote independent feeding and to deal with the accidental squeeze, ChooMee has developed the Sip’n soft top.
It has a flow control feature to prevent spills so the parents would no longer have to feed, which helps to promote independent feeding. Furthermore, it is made of soft silicon and fully covers the hard plastic spout of the food pouch. No more worry about the kid chewing on the plastic and cutting their gums or lips!
Find out more about how the ChooMee Sip’n works.
Our Super Baby bodysuit is not only a hit during the baby fair, it has also made its way to The Diaper Cake Company. Our Super Baby bodysuit matched with the superhero themed diaper cake by The Diaper Cake Company! These bodysuits are going everywhere!
Also a shout out for The Diaper Cake Company, who does personalized diaper cakes for baby showers and full month celebrations. You can find them at http://tdcc.sg/
