No Slippy Hair Clippy^® is well known for its luxurious non-slip hair accessories^®. All handcrafted, including a patent pending design, No Slippy Hair Clips are exquisite, fashionably hip hair accessories for girls of all ages.

The first non-slip hair accessory^®” was invented out of frustration in 2000. A new mom, unable to find anything that would stay in her daughter’s fine hair, decided to create one of her own. No Slippy Hair Clippy^® was born… proudly making the world prettier, one girl at a time!

Our design uses an exclusive plush Swiss Velvet that completely lines a metal alligator clip, providing a snug, secure grip. It’s so soft, your little one won’t know it’s there, yet it won’t hurt if she tugs on the clip, another benefit of our design!

Our line has grown to include hair accessories from babies to women. We offer three different clip types, all are non-slip clips^®, that won’t slide out of any hair type. Additionally, we offer no-slip headbands, including an organic cotton head wrap, the first of its kind!

Since 2005, No Slippy Hair Clippy^® has been nominated by retailers for the prestigious “Earnie” award for design excellence. No Slippy^® products continue to be a celebrity favorite, photographed in Hollywood and around the world.

Our latest introduction, a line of modern grosgrain ribbon prints and bows called Clipettes™, boasts an exclusive non-slip grip. This new entry is making its debut as a value-based division of No Slippy Hair Clippy^®.

While off-shore products come to pieces in days, Bows Arts has made the choice to continue high-quality US manufacturing to insure our products stand up to an active girl’s lifestyle.

Bows Arts uses the tightest clippie, not weighed down with heavy magnets on your child’s head. This year Bows Arts is launching new velvet lined clippies with blossoms, pompoms, tiaras, and sparkles all CPSIA and European certified lead and heavy metal free.

Shoe Money was “born” March of 2007. Lori Riley made gifts for her mommy friends and they loved them and asked for more. She realized that she could sew, design and create around her children’s schedules and have a little money on the side (“shoe money”) for her favorite hobby: shoe shopping!

With a love of all things nostalgic, sock monkeys kept making their way into designs. A following of Sock Monkey Lovers developed, so now most designs include sock monkeys. All designs are made in Austin, TX by Lori and two seamstresses that have been with her for three years. This year a fellow at-home mom and neighbor will do all of the printing on tees and bodysuits.

This season new sock monkeys made their way into photo shoots and on bodysuits and tees. Take advice from these sock monkeys: see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil, find your inner diva, sing a happy tune, wrangle up some fun, dance and enjoy a bright future.

POP! Put On Protection.

Ensuring the little ones from harmful UVA and UVB rays is our priority. That’s why Seasons UV is the industry leader in testing: in fact, we test our entire product line twice to ensure it provides maximum UPF protection.

Did you know that most children rack up between 50% and 80% of their lifetime sun exposure before age 18? A cotton T-Shirt has only about 5 UPF, that is like putting a 5 SPF sunscreen on your child…not enough. Seasons UV apparel is 50++UPF, it is like sunscreen that does not wear off.

Fun and function sun protection means, wonderful design that have families in mind. Our baby one pieces swim and play all day wear features diaper zippers which make that task of changes easy and effortless. Dries quickly to become all day sun protection active wear. Our UV activated designs that change colour as the sun rays intensify, have kids thinking its magic and give parents visual reminders to re-apply sunscreen to those exposed areas.

Mom & Dad now can also be covered with our 50++UPF solar guards and hoodies.

We hope that baby got what they wanted this Christmas. Sure that little bib and those baby shoes are cute, but what about the gift of good health? Instead, think about the benefits of giving the gift of Spiffies^® tooth and gum-wipes. Oral care is not just about the mouth and teeth – doctors now know that good dental health can result in improved overall health.

These little wipes are packed with a natural, delicious and safe ingredient that can stop cavity causing bacteria in their tracks. By getting baby started early, you are helping to promote a lifetime of good oral health habits. Spiffies^® are convenient to use; they are individually wrapped and have been proven in clinical studies to be effective in reducing dental plaque and tooth decay. As an added benefit, if put into the fridge to chill, Spiffies^® can be used as a cool compress on inflamed gums. A perfectly natural way to relieve teething pain.

Our Spiffies oral care gift box is a lovely gift for any new parent and contains 60 Spiffies Wipes and Baby Tooth Guide©, which was written to give new parents solid, safe and up to date information on the care of baby teeth. Spiffies were developed by a pediatrician, in the hopes of lowering the tooth decay rate in the US which shows that 40% of children by the age of 6 have a dental cavity. Cavities are preventable with good oral hygiene in infancy. Spiffies can help!
