Pooky has quite a collection of hair clips, but nothing quite like these adorable felt hair clips from Chloe In Style. They’re small, soft, and are available in simple, cute designs. We find that some hair clips tend to go a bit overboard with design frilliness, but these are perfect! They stay put in her hair (except when she pulls them out), and I’d recommend a few for every little girl. Price: $9 each at Chloe In Style.

Pooky’s hair is growing and, as expected, my flat, straight hair and Josh’s tight, curly hair have created Pooky’s bouncy, soft curls. I’m really looking forward to a time when she’ll let me put hair clips in her hair again instead of pulling them out every time I put them in.

Hair clips from Ribbies Hair Clippies are simple and elegant. These Ribbies Clippies come in lots of fun designs and stay put with a grippy foam strip. A note of caution: the underside part of the clip isn’t covered with the ribbon all the way, exposing a blunt tip and making these more appropriate for older toddlers and up. Price: $8 per pair at Ribbies Hair Clippies.

I love Hawaiian print fabrics. There’s something about the combination of colors, florals, and busy designs that make you feel sunny, happy, and ready to hit the beach.

Bella Bubs creates high quality baby necessities, and their Aloha Collection of 10 fabulous Hawaiian prints lets you order matching sets or mix and match. We got to test out a bib, burpie, travel blanket, and floral headband in the Lilac Crush fabric. When I initially pulled out the bib, I thought it looked really big. However, it’s since become our favorite bib to carry around with us because it provides great coverage. Backed with chenille and stuffed with an organic cotton insert, it’s soft, absorbent, and covers her shoulders and entire torso so that food dribbles don’t end up sneaking through the sides onto her clothing.

We’re past the stage of needing to burp Pooky, but the Bella Bubs burpies would’ve been real handy back then. It’s ergonomically designed to fit perfectly over your shoulder, which means it stays put. We joked that it also happens to look like an extra large feminine hygiene product; check out the product photo, and you’ll see what we mean. It’s also a generous size and folds up compact for the diaper bag.

The travel blankets from Bella Bubs are what I’d refer to as a luxury blankies. Backed with minky swirls and lined with organic cotton, these small blankets are so soft and fluffy. They make wonderful loveys and are a good size for tossing over baby in the car seat.

We weren’t super thrilled about the floral headbands from Bella Bubs. It’s made really well, but it’s just not our style. The flower is very large and, with the wide headband, it was just too overpowering for Pooky’s small frame. It may work better for older children.

The Hawaiian print selection from Bella Bubs really makes it worthwhile to purchase a few sets of bibs, blankies, and other accessories to pamper your baby. If you’ve been searching for baby shower gifts that’s useful and is sure to wow, we definitely recommend picking up some aloha vibes from Bella Bubs.

I’ve never been good at “doing hair,” my own or anyone else’s. I figured having a baby girl meant that I’d have plenty of time and opportunities to practice. So far, I haven’t done anything fancier than tying Pooky’s hair into pigtails, and that’s been going pretty well. I’ve discovered, though, that I don’t really need to learn anything fancier than pigtails because there are wonderful accessories like those from Out To Tea that make “doing hair” effortless.

Out To Tea offers a variety of different hair goodies for babies to adults. Their non-slip clips are velvety soft and come in all the colors and designs you’ll need to match every outfit. Their french clips are made in France, and we find they’re ideal for when you want to hold thicker hair in place. We love the adjustable headbands from Out To Tea. They carry thin headbands made for babies, and thicker ones for older girls, teens, and adults.

Unfortunately, Pooky often feels compelled these days to pull out anything I put in her hair. If I’m sneaky enough, though, I can usually enjoy at least a few hours of her looking fabulous with her hair accessories. Price: $5.50 and up at Out To Tea.
