You may remember the books by Sandra Magsamen, My Little Monkey and Little Bear Hugs which I reviewed last fall. I just love her bright colors and whimsical style. Did you know that besides books she also creates gift items and apparel? I took my youngest home from the hospital in a precious outfit called Puppy Love by Sandra that I had purchased from JCPenney. Now Sandra has the Wishes and Kisses infant apparel line available at Wal-mart which includes these two cute options from her spring collection. They come in sizes ranging from 0 to 9 months.
Since my boys are unfortunately too old now (sigh…) for that adorable turtle set I enlisted the help of my 12 month old dainty niece to model the dress in size 6-9 months. As you can see it fit her beautifully, with the hidden diaper cover actually a bit big. While she is on the small size I would say these run a little big. I just love how those ruffles climb up her back! At only $8.50 this dress would make a fabulous, yet affordable baby gift!
According to Sandra,
Over the last twenty one years, I have created products and ideas that celebrate the people and moments that make life a gift!
As a mother and an artist, there is nothing that makes me happier than to see my work touching lives and helping people. The partnership with Walmart has been a blessing as it offers me the perfect setting to connect and share my art with so many people. Whether it’s a teddy bear for a friend far away or near or an angel ornament that tells your friend, sister, daughter, mom or grandma how much you care, I hope these pieces fill homes and lives with warmth and love.
Her gift line also available at Walmart includes plenty of great ideas that won’t break your budget.
In case you are wondering, yes that adorable “you’re a rare bear” teddy bear above is as soft as it looks! Here is snapshot of my niece loving it up and leaning in for a kiss which I captured on video.
With items such as a inspirational keychains for $3 and assorted plaques for $5 you can send a heartfelt message without worrying about cost. I love that the quality doesn’t suggest that you got it anywhere other than an expensive gift shop.
You can these items and more at your local Walmart and Sandra Magsamen books at Walmart.com Check out JCPenney and the Sandra Magsamen website for even more fun options!
