#10: Concertina
Cute, cute CUTE! Concertina is OH SO CUTE! If you are a fan of Amigurumi plush, then Concertina is the place to go!
She has the cutest plush from turtles, mushrooms, whales, elephants, and our favorites, the little jellyfish. "Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll."
All of her little jellies are custom made... and can be made in any array of colors. And the best part, is she uses safety eyes, so they are baby safe :) If you are like me, and have a love for the Japanese/Kawaii style, you should definitely check her out... her shop is running on low right now, but keep checking back as she plans to add lots of new items very soon :)
Maria has made the CUTEST set of Jellies... a yellow one for you and a blue one for Ashley... with the cute little applique hearts stitched to the sides.

Giveaway #9: Stella Grace Boutique
If you remember, last week we talked about creative play for kids... and sort of detaching from all the flashing lights and sounds of the high tech toys and gadgets on the market. Today I want to ramble on about Stella Grace Boutique... A shop focusing on toys inspired by a Waldorf Education. "The educational philosophy's overarching goals are to provide young people the basis on which to develop into free, morally responsible and integrated individuals, and to help every child fulfill his or her unique destiny, the existence of which anthroposophy posits." (thanks Wikipedia) Long story short... a Waldorf Education focuses on imagination and a creative approach to play time... And Stella Grace Boutique has all the goodies you need to support that type of environment.
Kara, the mama behind Stella Grace boutique has some of the cutest toys on the market. I should know... I have quite the collection ;) Over the last few months we have bought one of the 18 inch dolls...a mini blanket baby... a sensory owl rattle... and Zavery has a custom dinosaur... all skully themed of course :) One of the things on our list to buy are her play silks... 
You get 6 hand dyed - rainbow colored play silks... they are "17 inch by 17 inch playsilks. They are wonderful for imaginative play, dress up, peek a boo, music and movement, circle time, and SO much more!" But the next MUST HAVE on our list will require a bit of penny saving. Waldorf dolls are pretty expensive, as they are made with very high quality, natural materials... "The face is made from bamboo cotton interlock and you can select a sleeper made from either knit or velour fabrics. The head is formed with 100% clean carded wool, in the traditional waldorf method. With a interlock body stuffed with carded wool too!!" to make it a little easier on the pocket book, she has an 11 inch "baby doll" listed. And we definitely want one :) With some sort of adorable skull nighty of course!
Last but definitely not least, we love her Teething Ring Blanket Loveys... They are "12x12 knit fabric, backed with soft hand dyed cotton velour fabric." Each one has a wooden ring attached with a snap for teething, and can be taken off when the lovey needs to be washed. Kara made one special for Ashely out of the cutest "I Love You This Much" fabric... with a beautiful blue velour on the back... and of course, one lucky winner will get one too! The winner of this giveaway will get their choice of any custom Teething Lovey...

Giveaway #8: Small Threads
One of my favorite mama's - Mandy... is the human behind the cutest clothes on the web, Small Threads.
Two of my favorite pieces of clothing were made by Mandy's hands... They get worn ALL THE TIME... And if you stop by her shop, you will even see me modeling my FAVORITE FAVORITE hoodie... The "Bony Mama". The teeny little details are awe flawless. How Mandy has the patience to hand cute all those little pieces... and hand stitch them all on is beyond me. The heart is my favorite, and has perfectly placed little stitches all the way around... The details are what makes Small Threads so special and unique. Even if you ordered 100 Bony Mama hoodies, each one would be just a little different. Another of my favorite Small Threads items are her Small Skivvies. They are easily the CUTEST thing you could ever put on little boy bums. Ive made a tradition the last few years of getting them Small Skivvies for their stockings every Christmas, and they're always a hit. This year they got the Rock Hand & The Skull and crossbones. Its a strange feeling when you are actually sad when your kids grow out of their underwear... I mean, their just underwear... but I can assure you, I was sad when I had to pull out the first "too small" pair from their drawers. Then again, it was just an excuse to get some more ;)
You can even get them for big boys too. One year I had a custom pair made for hubby... The heart and banner style with TG (my nickname) sewn in. He loved them :) Since then I have a nice little stash set aside for Rozzlyn, have given Small Threads gifts, and added to our own collection. No matter what your style is, there is a Small Threads design for you :) Don't have kids? No worries, she does adult sizes and pet clothes too!! Mermaids, Skulls, Cake, and of course... what kind of shop would it be without a Octopus with a Mustache!?!? Don't worry... she has those too :) But of all the cute designs... our favorite has to be the Love mom/dad Heart t-shirts and they're perfect for the upcoming Valentines Day holiday :) But it doesn'st stop there. Not only can you customize that design (like I did with the underwear) Mandy has come up with a new one that says ROCK inside... for all of those baby rock stars that love to rock :)
This brand new onesie design is headed to Mrs. Ashley for her shower gift. Isn't it the cutest thing ever!? Im totally jealous. But you don't have to be... why? Because Mandy says, "i will make a custom short sleeve tee or onesie for the winner. Any size 3 months thru 6". This way, no one is left out, and everyone can find something they love that fits their little one...
ALSO - Mandy has so generously offered a 15% discount to all of our readers. Code: RBBSHOWER when checking out. And be sure to look at her "sale" section for ready to ship goodies at a killer price already!
GOOD LUCK!

GIveaway #7: Sweet Monkey Tots
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKK!! This is me squealing :) One of my new favorite shops is Sweet Monkey Tots and I am SO SO SO excited she decided to join in on this baby shower giveaway week with us!
A little while back I was on the hunt for a super cool travel wipes case to match my awesome Stellar Cheri diaper bag. I wasn't having any luck finding anything that matched, or even came close to coordinating... right up until I came across Sweet Monkey Tots... and its pretty easy to say I fell in love. She was so sweet and quick to respond... offered to use any custom fabric out there (like the one that MATCHED my diaper bag... ) and we designed it exactly how I wanted it to be. Down to the font on the monogramming... and the trim.
In the end I was so beyond thrilled with the final result. When it came time to put her nursery together, we designed another custom wipes case, but this time the nursery tub style to match her room. We picked a super cute Pink, Black & white damask print that I actually have mixed into her bedding... and the fun little pompom trim you see above. It turned out adorable and I couldn't possibly be happier with the quality & customer service that Stephanie provides. Also, the packing is over the top professional. But you will just have to order and see for yourself :) She has some ready to ship items for the wipes cases... but LOADS of custom listings and options... so I know she will help you find exactly what you need :) If you aren't in the market for a wipes case, you should still check out her shop. She has some great gift options like hooded towels, pacifier clips, burp rags, and the cutest bibs ever!
All of her adorable monogramming makes me want my own machine! Ahhh, I can dream :) "Sweet Monkey Tots is your one stop shop for handmade essentials for special tots! I strive to make my items boutique chic with a touch of monkey sweetness! Come on in and browse for a while. I am sure you will find something for the special tot in your life!"
Now that you see my obvious love for Sweet Monkey Tots... I suppose I should show you the SUPER CUTE case she made for Ashley's nursery :) Its an awesome fabric from the Joel Dewberry collection. In black, granite, and yellows. Using a pewter colored GIMP (trim). It turned out beautiful.
And lucky you... one winner will receive the custom wipes case of their choice. Valued at $25.95...

Giveaway #6: StellarCheri
There isn't very much to say about StellarCheri that I haven't already said. Its no secret that I love and adore her stuff. I stand behind her quality 100%... so much so, that you will find the RockerByeBaby name on our special line of diaper bags with her. I have so many of her products, myself. Snack Bags, a couple clutches, a diaper bag, dresses... and more I'm sure.
If you havn't had the pleasure of checking out StellarCheri, you must. I promise, everything you find will be of amazing construction, and super super cute. :) One of her new goodies on my wish list is this adorable wallet. Simple, functional, and would look so so cute with my diaper bag!! I love the patchwork detail and the big chunky button. Another one of our favorite items are her snack bags. They are not only cute, but functional too for SO MANY THINGS! The obvious use is for snacks... they are water resistant so you can pretty much put anything in there without having to worry too much about leaks. But another great use is as a small wet bag for potty training accidents when you are out and about... its the perfect size to just toss soiled undies in there after an accident. Though, I would recommend alternating between snack and soiled undies, lol maybe you should just buy two of them ;) While you are searching around her shop, you will also find the cutest dresses, hair bows, laptop sleeves and more... and among those other items are her brand spankin' new diaper clutches! Scratch that... you won't see those because the two she listed yesterday are already sold! "The StellarCheri diaper clutch is the perfect size for a a few diapers and a travel pack of wipes. Its great for quick trips with your little one, and especially awesome for your toddlers who really don't need all the necessities that a baby needs. :)
It measures 9.5"x6" when folded and closed. It has two elastic pockets on the inside, closes with an elastic band and also has a wristlet strap for carrying. All diaper clutches are made with cotton fabrics and a layer of interfacing to give it a bit of sturdiness." StellarCheri made a special one just for Ashley... And guess what... you will get to be among the first to try it out! One lucky winner will receive this super cute argyle diaper clutch, just like Ashley's. They are so great, and you can be sure there will be one coming to the RockerByeBaby household! Also, what do you guys think about adding these to our line? Maybe a special combo of diaper bag and diaper clutch for a deal? Hmmmmm *wheels turning*
