Chic Shops BABY is a free guide to great baby shops on the internet where stores don’t pay to be listed, but are chosen simply because they have great products or are remarkable in some way. So it’s not just another one of those guides where every twentieth shop is of great quality, but a guide where all shops are worth checking out.
It all started with the original site Chic Shops, which is a guide to chic and unique shopping sites for woman, and then Chic Shops BABY was created to give the same service to moms and families with babies.
Chic Shops BABY is a nicely designed site, which is easy to navigate making it a very practical tool when you’re on the lookout for cool things for babies or moms to be. The site also has a forum, and allows you to save your favourite stores and make reviews of the shops. Creating a free account gives you access to these features.
I love the way some creative minds uses worthless waste to create beautiful things. It’s like they take what you throw out one day, and sell it back to you the next day, only it looks fantastic when you buy it back! It’s ingenious!

This fantastic aquarium comes in two different versions and three different wood colors. It looks quite interesting and futuristic. It definately must be fun for the little fishies to swim around in. It kind of reminds me of an underwater station from a movie but I digress.
The aquarium consists of six fishbowls connected to each other by tubes which allows for fish to swim freely between the fishbowls.
It’s on the pricier side but if you have $5,500.00 USD lying around the aquarium can be purchased at Opulent Items.
Here’s something different! Emma Megitt, a designer from Sweden, created the cute Pee&Poo characters as her graduation project. She tried to create something that could adress the subject of the bodily functions we all use when going to the toilet, in an amusing and aesthetic manner. She ended up with the Pee and Poo characters.
Pee&Poo not only works well as cuddly plush toys and toilet training buddies, they have also been well received by the adult designer plush fans.
Pee&Poo are sold as plush toys, key rings, stickers and clothing. All products can be bought at Pee&Poo, or through a reseller. Resellers can be found here, under “Återförsäljare” in the top menu.
The plush toys duo package, with Pee and Poo, cost USD 32, and the key rings cost USD 7.5 each.
