“You have a gifted imagination,” is a praise-worthy complement that young children used to hear a lot from teachers and parents. Before the current home computer, video gaming, and iPod revolution, generations of kids were inspired by dawn-to-dusk outdoor neighborhood adventures and creative play with blocks, models, “army” men, tea parties, crafts and board games. Enthusiastic about these “good ole’ days” of playtime powered by active imaginations, Lisa Pearce and Wendy Scarbrough, both kids at heart, opened their Gifted Imaginations store last year. The store is a kid’s dream playroom filled with traditional wooden toys, puzzles, games and more.

In marketing, perception is reality. Ironically, the perception of marketing is nothing like the reality. Marketing is one of the most underestimated and misrepresented activities in the business world. It’s often seen as superfluous and expensive. It’s often confused with sales and/or assumed it’s synonymous with advertising. Finally, it’s assumed that initiatives need to be tracked in order to justify each individual investment. In reality, marketing is one of the most important activities a business can conduct.

The Giggle Guide® asked 26 moms “What is one thing you think manufacturers of children’s products should know or consider changing? Our moms stood united on their soap boxes to broadcast their chief concerns for quality, durability and safety in children’s products. Even though The Giggle Guide® knows that most manufacturers in the children’s business share the same concerns, hearing the moms’ insightful and potent message is paramount.

Bubbly children sporting bright, brilliant colors and dazzling fabrics are like rays of sunshine, generating energy and contagious, electrifying smiles.

Her spirited Overall Baby crackles with snappy style and overall originality!

Hear this famous show tune playing in your head and karaoke with me:

There’s no business like KidShow business, like no business I know … Everything about KidShow is appealing! Everything that traffic will allow! Nowhere can buyers get that special feeling as they are “stealing” that extra bow (or dress, romper, shoes, swimwear et al)” Hear the big cresendo coming louder!?

Let’s get… on… with… the… KidShow!” — Coming to Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. August 16 -18, 2010.

The religious ceremonies of an infant christening, baptism, blessing, bris, or naming ceremony are traditional rites of spiritual initiation for baby, and shared celebrations for families. Baby’s white gown symbolizes purity, joy and new life, and is often treasured and saved as a family heirloom. In 1984, Little Thing Mean a Lot founder, Cindy Pack, recognized the importance of providing a touch of grace and beauty in the apparel that is an important part of a baby’s special religious occasions.
