new arrivals inc sponsors charitable organizations

Tori Swaim is a busy woman.

There are Austin, Sawyer, Macy, her husband Steve, and a high-energy Maltese named Daisy. And, as if there aren't one billion things to do as a wife and mother of 3 incredibly active kids, she does design for and manage her two multi-million dollar companies in her “spare time.”

New Arrivals, Inc. started almost a decade ago, literally in the garage of Tori's home. She had this “nagging” idea for a box that would cleverly disguise those pesky, but always necessary baby wipes. The bright blue plastic containers just weren't making the cut and looked so out of place in her thoughtfully designed nursery. However, she had a solution.

And thus New Arrivals, Inc. and Tori's Hide-a-Wipe Boxes™ were born. And since, have been followed by a high end line of various nursery décor items and accessories. You will find a vast product line…frames, hanging wall letters, wastebaskets, bookholders, growth charts, outfits and most recently Tori launched an amazing line of bedding and furniture products. New Arrivals, Inc. is truly your one-stop-shop to design and outfit the perfect baby nursery.

Then, in 2001 (as if she did not have on her plate), Tori launched a new company called My Baby Sam, named for her three children Sawyer, Austin and Macy. While the line is similar in look to her New Arrivals, Inc. products, My Baby Sam is geared toward a different market and sold in the larger retail stores. This gives Tori the opportunity to not only design for two companies, but to reach an even broader consumer base with her nursery décor, gifts and accessories.

SwaddleDesigns® – the gold standard in swaddling blankets. When you want the very best swaddling blanket for your baby, you can confidently select SwaddleDesigns because no brand offers a better made and higher quality swaddling blanket. Babies love the cozy comfort and ultra-soft texture of SwaddleDesigns premium cotton swaddling wraps and babies sleep better swaddled with a SwaddleDesigns blanket. SwaddleDesigns cotton flannel Ultimate Swaddling Blanket® is lightweight, preshrunk, breathable and features beautiful designer colors and prints. SwaddleDesigns Marquisette Swaddling Blanket™ is the finest quality open weave, lightweight swaddling blanket with finer threads and higher thread count than muslin blankets. SwaddleDesigns is truly the ultimate brand for the best baby swaddle blankets.

SwaddleDesigns was founded by Lynette Damir, a registered nurse and mother of two young children. While visiting families with new babies, Lynette found that parents struggled with swaddling because they didn’t have the right kind of blanket (most were too small or too thick) and they could not remember how to make a good secure swaddle. Lynette wanted to share her knowledge of proper swaddling because she understood that parents needed help when trying to learn how to swaddle. Lynette designed The Ultimate Receiving Blanket® with 123 Swaddle® instructional tag sewn to its edge. Lynette’s blanket has helped hundreds of thousands of new parents learn how to swaddle to calm and comfort their newborns.

The Ultimate Receiving Blanket is also known as the Ultimate Swaddling Blanket®. It is recommended by doctors, nurses, doulas and parent educators. SwaddleDesigns swaddling blankets are a favorite new baby gift and cherished by new parents. New moms fall in love with SwaddleDesigns swaddling blankets because of the quality, colors, and style – and because new parents feel wonderful when they can calm and comfort their newborn.

Babies love the soft texture of cotton flannel. Hospitals throughout the USA use cotton flannel blankets to wrap newborn babies. Cotton flannel is the best choice for newborns because cotton flannel is durable, breathable, natural, and safe for baby. However, babies quickly outgrow the size used at the hospital. Babies sleep better swaddled in SwaddleDesigns premium ultra-soft cotton flannel blanket. Moms quickly learn that a secure and cozy swaddling wrap will comfort and calm their newborns. Numerous medical studies have proven that Swaddled Babies Sleep Better®.

Lynette’s passion for helping new parents combined with her design background enabled her to develop the Ultimate Swaddling Blanket with its patent pending innovation. When she designed her award winning product in 2002, many people did not know what the word swaddling meant. Since that time, Lynette has received recognition for helping to build the awareness of the many benefits of swaddling. The SwaddleDesigns blanket is truly a great value and keepsake that will be used and treasured for years.

While there are many swaddlers and swaddling wraps on the market today, SwaddleDesigns is regarded as the gold standard in swaddling blankets. SwaddleDesigns blankets are made from premium preshrunk cotton flannel which are lightweight and breathable. Our flannel and marquisette meet Oeko Tex Standard 100 which mean no harmful chemicals next to baby’s delicate skin.

Every baby born in a US hospital is wrapped in a flannel receiving blanket. Babies are unable to regulate their temperature and it is important that baby is kept warm, but not too warm. Hospitals trust and use cotton flannel for swaddling newborns. Many hospitals use SwaddleDesigns blankets to teach swaddling to their new parents and give their new parents an Ultimate Receiving Blanket as a new parent gift.

The Ultimate Receiving Blanket has become a favorite swaddler, recommended by doctors, nurses, doulas and parent educators. It is a favorite new baby gift and cherished by new mothers and fathers because it helps new parents learn to swaddle. Thousands of moms and dads have written testimonials sharing their experience and how SwaddleDesigns has become the favorite blanket.

SwaddleDesigns offers over 90 swaddling blankets – offering an unmatched selection of fabrics, colors, and collections with wonderful coordinating everyday essentials. Moms love to select their favorite colors and styles from the SwaddleDesigns line. It is common for a mom to have 5, 6, 8, or more SwaddleDesigns swaddling blankets.

SwaddleDesigns certified organic cotton swaddling blankets are eco-chic. Soft buttery preshrunk flannel wraps baby with supreme softness. Modern prints and contemporary color palettes make it fun and easy being “Green” with SwaddleDesigns. Our print facility selects the highest quality pigments that are approved under European Union chemical standards for least impact upon the environment. The printing meets Oeko Tex standard 100.

Many medical experts recommend a sleep environment of 65-70 degrees F or 20 degrees C. The Ultimate Receiving Blanket is an appropriate weight for this temperature range. Because every baby is unique and because no blanket can naturally regulate a baby’s temperature, it is important for caregivers to dress their baby according to the ambient temperature of the room. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends dressing the baby in one more layer than you are wearing to be comfortable in the same environment. It’s important not to overdress or under dress a baby for sleep. Signs of overheating include sweaty back or neck, damp hair, rapid breathing or heat rash. If baby feels sweaty, remove a layer of clothing. Sometimes baby’s hands or feet feel cool due to their immature blood circulation which is considered okay as long as their chest, tummy and back are warm, not sweaty or cool. Parents are recommended to dress baby according to the temperature and remove a layer if the baby is sweaty. It is important for parents to understand that there are no evidence-based studies that prove a blanket can naturally regulate a baby’s temperature. For more information, please see Swaddle Tips.

SwaddleDesigns offers the Marquisette Swaddling Blanket™ for swaddling in warm climates and warmer environments. SwaddleDesigns Marquisette Swaddling Blanket is made from premium preshrunk cotton in a very lightweight open weave design. Marquisette is similar to muslin except it is much softer due to finer threads and higher thread count. SwaddleDesigns offers the finest, highest quality lightweight swaddling cloths on the market.

How to wean from swaddling: We recommend swaddling for the first 3-4 months. To help baby transition from swaddling, swaddle baby with one arm out of the swaddle for a few nights. When baby has adjusted to this change, try swaddling with both arms out. A baby who is able to roll over should not have their arms inside a swaddle.

When it’s time for baby to graduate from swaddling, SwaddleDesigns offers the zzZipMe Sack™ wearable blanket. SwaddleDesigns zzZipMe Sack has a clever 2-way zipper that zips from the bottom-up allowing for diaper changes while keeping baby warm and cozy, and it zips from the top-down making it easy to place baby or remove baby from the super-soft wearable blanket with satin trim. SwaddleDesigns has a pending patent on this innovative design.

SwaddleDesigns product line also include Baby Burpies® – decorative burp cloths, Baby Lovie® – small security blankets for baby, Stroller Blankets for cozy comfort on the go, Cashmere Blankets – pure luxury – because you’re never too young for cashmere, Hooded Towels, Bibs, and washcloths made from the softest and most absorbent Turkish terry velour. SwaddleDesigns proudly offers a wonderful eco-chic Organic line..

Lynette Damir founded SwaddleDesigns to help to parents calm and comfort their babies so new parents and their babies could get more sleep. Lynette designs the exclusive prints featured on SwaddleDesigns blankets. She chooses each component carefully for its texture, durability and color.

elegant baby...one of margos favorites!

Elegant Baby® understands that babies deserve style just as fresh as they are! This marvelous collection of luxurious baby products is full of bold new colors and spectacular new designs. Even their traditional heirlooms have a newly minted gleam. Baby’s first bank? There’s a polka-dotted piggy - or a silver-plated helicopter. Baby’s first cup? Here’s a striped sippy - or a sterling silver mug. Baby’s first outfit? Try a classic cable knit - or camouflage. Whether it’s contemporary or classic, Elegant Baby® creates high-style, high-quality design.
Elegant Baby® was born in Burlington, North Carolina in 1984, the brainchild of Fred V. Hooper. Its parent company, Baby Needs, Inc., created by Hooper in 1967 as a full service distributor of baby/nursery items for mass merchants, sold products labeled as “Grow Time.” When the baby market started to contract in the mid-80’s, Hooper realized it was time to focus on the higher end of his industry, and launched Elegant Baby® . His new venture grew to become the premier source for stylish baby gifts and accessories, supplying children’s shops, gift boutiques and department stores throughout the United States.

Fast forward to 2002: Elegant Baby® is ripe for reinvention, and son Yates Hooper takes command. His years of experience in the international fashion industry had honed his ability to forecast trends, endorsed his willingness to take risks, and polished his unique aesthetic. Determined to reenergize his family’s business and explore new markets, he directs his creative team to update the product mix, using lush new colors and graphics pulled from the worlds of fashion and interior design. He revamps the media campaign with a catalog full of gorgeous models using Elegant Baby® products in sumptuous surroundings. Finally, he debuts a dazzling website befitting a global brand, www.elegantbaby.com.

Hooper’s vision of a fashion-forward, fun, sophisticated baby product company shines through every facet of Elegant Baby®’s transformation. In the midst of an uncertain economy, this family-owned American business is thriving once again, creating whimsical, stylish products for elegant babies around the world.

“Being ready and willing to change is crucial during these challenging times. We’re constantly tweaking our line, introducing new product more often than ever before. The collection has taken off in a really exciting direction, but we’re still honoring tradition,” says Hooper, “We’re going to make sure Elegant Baby® offers the best of both worlds - the old and the new.”

margos baby...the jp lizzy story-designer diaper bags

The JP Lizzy Story

A baby will change your life forever. For me, those babies came ten weeks early and weighed in at a little over two pounds each. As you can imagine, having premature twins was an overwhelming and inspiring experience bundled into one.

Thrust into motherhood, I went from fashion forward to frantic. Everywhere I went I was accompanied by bottles, blankets and diapers…always x 2. Yet no matter how hard I looked, I found vinyl bunnies and boring black bags. Where was the fashionable yet functional accessory I wanted?

As women, we carry the weight of the world on our shoulders while still trying to look chic and feel organized. Sure our priorities shift in life, but that doesn't mean we have to give up style and color. A bag that helps us hang on to our fashion sense, while remaining functional for our baby-toting needs, can make all the difference.

Recognizing the need for a practical bag that allowed me to express my sense of style, I developed JP Lizzy. My twins John Patrick and Emma Elizabeth served as namesakes, as well as the inspiration, for my company. And with the birth of my third baby Cate, my children continue to be the inspiration behind JP Lizzy and the products we create.

margos baby finds monkey toes

Kids will be kids. And stylish moms want to keep them looking cute as a button. For Jenny Ford, understanding this age old truth brought forth more than peace of mind during her morning dressing routine with her two young daughters. It brought her into the world of entrepreneurship.

Meet all the collection of Monkey-Toes, 11 different styles to suit the pickiest of finicky feet.

Monkey-Toes, Ford's line of fun animal themed footwear, blossomed from a single mother's dream of being a stay-at-home mom and an all-American business owner. Inspired by her daughter's long toes, the name "Monkey-Toes" was a perfect fit for the collection of hand painted children's sneakers and matching socks.

Jenny understands today's parents and has a great eye for style - two traits that she finds indispensable to the success of her company. She effectively balances her roles of business owner and mom. While raising her two daughters, the Colorado native works away looking for next next big idea for her one-of-a-kind shoes.

Jenny Ford is a graduate of the University of Colorado where she earned a Bachelor's degree in business with an emphasis in Finance. Prior to launching Monkey-Toes she worked in the event planning field. She loves her girls, is passionate about her business and uses a carefully orchestrated combination of Red Bull, chocolate, and Starbucks Soy Chai Lattes to stay on top of it all!

margos baby favorites-introducing serena and lily baby bedding

A chance meeting on an October day in 2003 seemed rather serendipitous at the time: Serena Dugan, a textile designer and artist, met Lily Kanter, a baby boutique owner and savvy businesswoman. Perhaps it was our differences that brought us together – our skills and backgrounds were opposite one another in that advantageous, yin-yang kind of way. Or maybe it was our striking similarities despite these differences – the collision of two go-getter Type-A scatterbrains.

In retrospect, it wasn’t simply the advantageous fit of designer with businesswoman that made sparks fly that day – it was our shared aesthetic and shared vision of the baby’s room reinvented. Children’s spaces that are fresh and style-driven, with dynamic color and pattern combination, timeless and comfortable through sophistication and simplicity…this is what we both dreamed of.

Our first collections were released 8 months later: 14 bedding sets, 30 original fabric patterns, and a look for the nursery that turned the industry on its side. As we continue to add to the line and expand into children’s furnishings, we bring the same passion, gusto, and nonsensical drive that brought our first collection to market. As our products evolve, our design values stay the same: to maintain a sense of integrity and a visual standard that is authentic and original in a sea of copycats.

At the end of a long and hectic day, we ask ourselves what continues to drive us. The answer is simple – far beyond our love of great design, we care about making a difference in the world. We are doing that through ‘Serena & Lily.’ Through a portion of product sales, we give back to the world that our children will inherit. These are the fundamental values that guide us, and the conviction that fuels the growth of our business.

…and even at the end of that long and hectic day, simply put, we love what we do.
