baby’s got bot
Filed Under Stuff | March 3, 2010
It’s been awhile since we’ve alerted you to a new online store so let’s change that today – starting with sharing the roundabout way we came across Calgary online boutique Babybot. Last August we got an email from Plush, a company in Belgium that makes durable, just-cute-enough kid’s tees. We loved their product but was it available in Canada – our key criteria – we asked? No, but once the new online store, Babybot launched they would be.
Ever since we’ve been following both the progress of Plush and Babybot. Plush, recently rebranded as We Were Small, produces pint-sized tees and hoodies embellished with felt “monsters” of the non scary variety. The tactile, touch- me feel of the monsters appeals to tots while the hard-wearing tees appeal to their mamas. The felt appliqués don’t pill or distort, even after multiple wearings and washings.
We Were Small is just one of the brands you’ll find exclusively at Babybot. They also carry Chapter One Organics, Blirt Clothing and Puj Tubs. They carry everything from furniture, gear and toys to stock lines we already love, such as Kukunest, Boon and Trunki. Perfect for stocking up on old favourites while discovering something new.
Focused on the “modern minimalist” you can also shop Babybot by colour which, for design challenged mamas like ourselves, is awfully handy. And within categories you can sort products by price, age, and eco friendly, fair trade, green or organic. If only modern minimalism came at a minimalist price. But since they’ve only recently launched they’re currently offering free shipping within Canada and they’re not charging PST during March.
And why are we such fans of online shopping? How about no trekking across town with tots in tow, no parking and traffic issues and you can do it in your PJs, while sipping wine or nibbling chocolate. What’s not to love?
