The Biz

Sibling rivalry is not necessarily a bad thing, especially when it’s celebrated with affirming, terrific tees from BB’s Tees. The Texas-based brand was established by two friends and mothers, Patti Muller and Marty Harper, who were inspired to celebrate both families and fashion with their clothing creations. Renowned on the Big Brother/Sister fashion block for funky graphics and hip designs, BB’s Tees include specialty glittery inks and 3D puffy prints that add dimension and texture. Plus, each shirt comes with a sweet keepsake, The Sibling Pledge!

Children are naturally open to art and love to express themselves by painting, drawing, and sculpting with clay. They are also fascinated and inspired by the creations of others. Displaying artwork with appealing colors and content can help develop children’s early appreciation of art, and make a house feel like home. The Giggle Guide^® looks to the heart of art from several brands that specialize in creations designed to delight and capture children’s imaginations. Our gallery includes engaging works from J. Austin Ryan, Queen of the Trailer Park, Renditions by Reesa, and Green Frog Art.
