I like the simple but not overwhelming choices of clothes (esp. onzies). I have been looking for different types of slings -that work!- and like the selection. Perhaps too easy to spend too much money!
Dee Clarke on October 1st, 2008 6:40 am

Love Purlmama! Great products and a beautiful website.
Deanna Hurstfield on October 1st, 2008 7:02 am

I love the blabla dolls and rattles – especially the vegetable ones. Also the slings are gorgeous.
Ellaine Poon on October 1st, 2008 7:08 am

I love the Mr.B Spy bags! What a great idea, better than flimsy zip lock bags!
Michelle on October 1st, 2008 8:06 am

I love the little blabla mini doll-Lollie Monkey and the Oobi Baby Betsy Sweater Dress in marshmallow & canary (that’s coming soon).
Catherine on October 1st, 2008 8:07 am

Very professional site. Nice pictures. I love the flat rate Canadian shipping.
Jenny on October 1st, 2008 8:11 am

I like all the Anamalz and the Pastel Toys, they are very cute.
Carla on October 1st, 2008 9:03 am

Would love either the hotsling espresso stretch pouch , or the beep beep reversible – retro (as well as a child size one so my daughter can carry her bears while I carry her sibling).
Sareh on October 1st, 2008 9:38 am

What a calming and well organised website featuring beautiful, practical, and high-quality products. My faves include the following: Amoralia Embrace Magnetic Nursing Bra (a magnet!? why didn’t anyone else think of that!), Amoralia Nougatine Nursing Bra (so pretty!), Amoralia Nougatine French Knicker with Bow (so sexy!), Earth Mama Angel Baby Breastfeeding Support Kit (like a doola in a box), Boon Catch Bowl (if it works like it says it does, this is a great invention), Oobi Baby Little Bear Beanie – rocket red & baby blue (sooo cute!), Oobi Baby ‘Smittens’ – rocket red & baby blue (matchin so cute).
Sagit on October 1st, 2008 9:52 am

I love the blabla boogaloo – berry-lee. Sooo cute !
Melina on October 1st, 2008 10:08 am

What a lovely website, very fresh and clean – easy to navigate. I love the ergopouch sleep bag and the CC3 Design Walk With Me Baby Carrier Blanket & Hat Set. I’m always partial to the blabla toys especially the ladybug backpack, so cute!
Janice on October 1st, 2008 10:46 am

I ordered the Bella Materna nursing bra from Purl a couple of weeks ago after looking in the local maternity store (cheap quality & expensive), and department stores (ugly boxed bras) and finally finding this website with some great options. They mailed it super fast and it’s a great bra. If I had seen the Amoralia chocolate tankini a few months ago, I would have ordered that!
Mel on October 1st, 2008 11:23 am

I appreciated the fact they have an seperate link that takes you to all their eco-friendly products. I also loved the lingerie for moms (especially the tankini)and for baby, the anamalz toys.
Jacquie on October 1st, 2008 12:45 pm

The oobi baby knee high booties are so sweet and great for winter babies.
paula on October 1st, 2008 1:14 pm

I’m a fan of the anamalz line! The Mr B Spy Bags also look really useful.
Sydelle on October 1st, 2008 2:05 pm

i’m liking the choices of baby slings. it’s going to be hard making a decision. i also like the chalkboard apple and pear decals for the fall season!
Tanya on October 1st, 2008 2:31 pm

I love the Ramalama Ava Diaper Bag! All of the felt clips are super cute too. Basically it would take about 30 seconds to spend the gift voucher there!!!
Jenn on October 1st, 2008 2:34 pm

I like the blabla boogaloo dolls, my children would love them. I like the flat rate shipping too!
Jenie on October 1st, 2008 7:45 pm

What a great online store. I especially loved the blabla toys, my daughter would eat those up. I am a huge fan of the boon bath toys too.
Megan on October 2nd, 2008 4:47 am

I love the long red and pink striped socks by Oobi Baby (knee boots) with the matching tunic! I had just been wishing for some longer socks to cover the chilly legs now that the weather is cooler and these are adorable Also, as a swimmer who looked for 9 months for a maternity suit that was practical for daily swims as well as flattering, I wish I’d known about the Amoralia navy halted tank suit. It looks like it would also be equally good for post partum (now!) as well.
Angela on October 2nd, 2008 7:09 am

Love the babylegs, blabla dolls, vegetable rattles.. lots of really cute things… hard to narrow it down.
Shara on October 2nd, 2008 9:31 am

I would love to have the Amoralia Angelica Halterneck Tankini in steel blue to use while I swim during pregnancy.
Jen on October 2nd, 2008 9:53 am

I really liked the quilt baby onesies… especially the giraffe and I also spotted a great looking strapless bra for myself!
Robin Diehl on October 2nd, 2008 9:55 am

Those with children learning to read or storytellers needing new material may enjoy a trip to “Once Upon a Huckleberry bush” bookstore.

Near Main Street and 28th Avenue, Vancouver

(I have no affiliation with the store, just wanted to pass on a great find to you all!!)
Helene Cote on October 6th, 2008 7:22 am

Annalisa on October 6th, 2008 3:15 pm

I love the Mr. B trooper tote ( Plum & Grey) Having one big bag for both my daughter and I would be great, plus they look neat too.

The anamalz toys, especially the hippo, is adorable. Also like the green to grow bottles.
Dana Stefanson on October 8th, 2008 10:00 am

I love the toys! My little guy is into wheels, so the wooden cars and wheely animals would be ideal for him, and the blabla dolls would be such a nice treat for my daughter. Also the hotslings mini sling so she can be just like mama.
Mara Toombs on October 8th, 2008 10:31 am

Love the flatout bear baby, made out of sheepskin, my baby would love that
Kathy Wilkins on October 8th, 2008 3:19 pm

I think that Purl Mama has alot of beautiful baby gear, but it is most refreshing to see beautiful Mama gear too! I love the Amorilia Nougatine Nursing Bra…. and I think it might be the first bra I have bought since becoming pregnant that my husband will like too!
Samantha Stainer on October 9th, 2008 12:11 am

I love the hats that are on the website; very creative and not with the norm.
Maureen Prentice on October 9th, 2008 7:05 am

Olivia Sze on October 9th, 2008 8:12 am

I like the organic Amenity Nursery Collection as well as the Parade Organic Clothing :-)
Tracey Clayton on October 9th, 2008 8:54 am

I love the pastel toys, not only because they are so cute and durable, but because of who makes them (special needs people). Also, the animalz line looks wonderful – I like how they can go into different poses. They are great for room decor and then playing with later.
Jen on October 9th, 2008 9:09 am

I LOVE the wall stickers, particularly the wallcandy “dottilicious” and the forwalls “pink organic design”. And the chalkboard apple and pear!
Beth on October 9th, 2008 10:35 am

The purlmama website is a feast for the eyes. I have always coveted the blabla monkey – verdi.
Leah on October 9th, 2008 3:12 pm

The Amenity bedding makes me giddy! I just love it! I have her pillows all over my home but I didn’t know she did infant bedding until I checked out Purl Mama. Its organic too!!!
Kristine De Guzman on October 9th, 2008 3:40 pm

I loved the beep beep sling and the boon squirt spoon!!! There’s so many cool stuff for mealtime that I know I’ll be going back to the site again and again.

I like the knee high sock booties, and the little lark bike sweatshirt, if it came in a larger size.

Candace Low on October 16th, 2008 7:45 am

Would love the ergopouch and any of the cute organic onsies. Nice site!
Sherry on October 16th, 2008 8:40 am

As someone who is currently obsessed with sleep and her lack of it, I really like the ergopouch baby sleep bag. And for my organization the mr b spy bags look great!
Deanna on October 16th, 2008 8:41 am

Great website. Love the Amoralia Nougatine Nursing Bra and brief.
Sarah on October 16th, 2008 8:42 am

It’s Fall, the temperatures dropping, and we’re trying to convince our 6 month old to nap in his own bed. So, the alpaca fiber ergopouch baby sleep bag looks perfect.
De on October 16th, 2008 9:06 am

Love the organic kimonos – simple and sweet!
Sandra on October 16th, 2008 9:26 am

I love the variety of this site. The Oobi baby hoodies are awesome!
Stephanie Sirois on October 17th, 2008 8:29 pm

I love, love, love the flower hair clips and all the other felt clips. The ice cream cone and lady bug are particularly whimsical. But the Garden crib set… wow! And I’ve honestly never seen a diaper bag quite like the ramalama drew diaper bag.
Jessica T on October 17th, 2008 9:06 pm

I love the Blabla back packs! It is hard to find nice backpacks that are original and not liscenced characters.
Sheeba on October 20th, 2008 1:36 pm

Love the Oobi Baby Little Bear Beanie – rocket in baby blue – perfect way to keep my l’il guy warm!The organic kimono sets are sooo cute too! The ergopouch baby sleep bag looks like a great way to keep the blankets on!

Flat rate shipping – thank you! I’m awed by the Amoralia nursing bras. So beautiful! And what fun – animals by Animalz!
Lisa Abraham on October 20th, 2008 4:15 pm

Love the Purl Mama Website!
I would love the ramalama drew diaper bag in olive….beeeuuuutiful! Also, I think my little guy would love the blabla mini doll-bubbles cat. The boon squirt spoon looks like it would be handy and the admiri breastbootle nurser looks like a good idea for my little guy who just started getting breastmilk from a bottle rather than breast because he enjoys using his two new teeth…ouch!!
kristen on October 21st, 2008 9:08 pm

Where do you start??? It’s all beautiful. Especially the girly dresses and booties. I also love the baby bedding!! Nice stuff. I’ll be sure to shop there in the future!!!!!
Michelle C. on October 22nd, 2008 3:38 am

The little blabla frog backpack is very cool.
Alyce on October 22nd, 2008 11:02 am

The Boon Flo is such a great idea… not just for kids… like having a waterfall in your tub. Also I wouldn’t mind trying out the Boon Squirt, Mr. B Spy Bags and the Strollometer.
Veronique on October 23rd, 2008 9:19 am

Hello, the website of purl mama is really good ! I’m new in Vancouver and I enjoy that kind of thing who makes life easier and prety !
Thanks !
Dorry on October 23rd, 2008 9:31 am

OH!! I want the snow baby pants. They are so cute they make my stomach hurt!!
Cynthia on October 23rd, 2008 11:24 am

I love their blabla backpacks espcially the ladybug
Jackie Thomas on October 23rd, 2008 5:16 pm

I want it all! The adiri breastbottle nurser is a neat idea since my baby will not take a bottle..maybe this would work!
Joanne Bueno on October 27th, 2008 12:06 am

I love the ladybug blabla backpack. My daughter just had her 1st birthday and it was a ladybug themed party. I wished I had given that to her as a gift!
Michelle on October 27th, 2008 8:47 am

I love the monkies- so fun and playful!
Jocelyn Scaletta on October 27th, 2008 9:55 am

I LOVE the Oobi Baby dresses. They are so cute.
PJ on October 27th, 2008 11:53 am

oohhhh…wish lists….
having a baby girl is like dressing my baby dolls as a child…only better.
All the purlmama clothes are adorable, but with the cooler weather I can just see my daughter prancing around in the oobi baby betsy sweater dress paired with the snow bunny pants. Too cute!
Janis on October 27th, 2008 4:47 pm

What’s not to love on this site?? I adore the bedding and nursery accessories. My 1.5 yr. old loves animals, and I’m sick of putting up little cartoon style animal curtains. The four walls chalk board animals are great. I also love the lingerie – who would have thought that baby toys and lingerie could go together? The tankini looks comfy for anytime. :) The nursing bras look fab, and will be a must for the next pregnancy – that was my biggest complaint while pregnant the last time.
mars on October 27th, 2008 8:16 pm

i would love to try the little twig bath products for my little ones and the anamalz are so cute! of course, i can’t forget about myself….the chocolate ramalama ava would look very nice in my hands.
Heidi on October 27th, 2008 8:30 pm

Very very cute … my daughter would love the blabla ladybug backpack or the hotslings child size pouch for toting her babies around. I would love her to wear any of the taia hair clips :)
Jennifer on October 28th, 2008 9:26 am

I love the oobi baby little bear beanie!
Aimée on October 28th, 2008 9:54 pm

I love the site. Easy to navigate and very attractive.

Favourite item? Definitely the ErgoPouch Baby Sleep Bag. It’s made from natural fibres and looks super-comfy!
Erin on October 29th, 2008 6:47 am

A few years back my son received a brown shirt with a green-blue bike print on it, and I noticed a hoodie just like that one on the purl mamma website. I love it.
Melina Scholefield on October 29th, 2008 7:39 am

I love the hooded blue polkadot hooded jacket
Kim on October 29th, 2008 8:50 am

Everything at Purl is beautiful, but I especially love the organic cotton nursery pillows with the fawn and the rabbit. Lovely!
ruth on October 29th, 2008 9:22 am

The forwalls stickers are adorable and funky, especially the chalk owl.
Suzanne on October 29th, 2008 11:13 am

I love shopping at Purl. I would love the Ergo Pouch and anything by BlaBla (for a boy!).

mimi on October 29th, 2008 2:26 pm

I like the Boon Bath Goods. Boon’s got nice things and their customer service is great.
Michelle on October 30th, 2008 12:02 am

I am in LOVE with the oobi baby betsy sweater dress – red with pink hearts. It is so adorable. My daughter would look so cute in that sweater dress with the Oobi’s Snow Bunny pants. So cute!
Julie Tremblay on October 30th, 2008 9:23 am

There are so many wonderful things on this website! Plus I like that it is canadian and that the shipping rate is reasonable!
I would love to see my 15 months old baby girl in the Go Natural Baby – Organic Keiko Kimono Dress. It is so nice, and organic! I also love all the Anamalz, they seem to be so much fun. And the amoralia nursing bras are wonderful, I would love to replace my old Bravado bras… Last but not least, I really have to get one of those Hotslings child size pouch so my baby, who I carry a lot, can carry her dolls.
Mary on October 30th, 2008 5:08 pm

The dwell baby magnetic animals are really cute. My sister is having a baby soon, and I don’t know what to choose!
Sandra on October 31st, 2008 12:06 am

There’s so much… where do I begin? I especially love the oobie baby hats and bootie sets and the zippie jackets and hoodies. If I had I girl, I’d want the betsy sweater dress…. so cute!!!
Lucy Allen on October 31st, 2008 8:51 am

I love the clothes…..especially the long sleeve lark tees…..
Jenny on October 31st, 2008 9:14 am

Vickie
Jay Del Rosario on October 31st, 2008 12:55 pm

Can I just say I was sold on the flat rate shipping! Love, love the taia clips and elephant wall decor!

A really nice web site, clean and easy to use. Love the blabla range, fantastic for gifts too.
Jo on October 31st, 2008 10:03 pm

I am always looking for some nicer wash clothes and the aden + anais ones look wonderful. I could not believe the strollometer which would be such a great gift and I would love one myself. I have booked marked the site as there are lots of fun things here and the website layout was easy to use.

Let us know what you think or share your great finds with us so we can share them with other Vancouver mothers!
