Do your shoppers lust after the look of pierced ears for the little divas they love but aren’t ready to do the deed? For those who fall into this category, but have found stick-on earrings annoying as they don’t stay on, check out Poppy Drops. These long-lasting tattoo earrings are no fuss, completely pain-free and can be easily changed or removed. Besides making little girls feel grown-up and ready to take on the town, these earrings make great stocking stuffers and party favors for young ladies who want to emulate the ear-candy worn by big sister or mom.

The tween market can be a little hard to nail down: tweens are moving beyond the childlike toys and behaviors they are used to, but still not quite ready for the almost-grown-up style of older teens. Retailers need to be wary of coming off as too cutesy or way too sophisticated. Kids in this group tend to be very creative. Edgy, fun, yet practical accessories and designs all make for happy families. The best in tween products combine individualism with creativity, and the lines from Nail Candy, Shwings, and Tractor bring customers back for more.

It’s time to dive into swimwear for all-day splash-tastic fun! Both little girl and boy waterbugs go gung-ho for colorful duds that are easy to jump into and out of, while your shoppers appreciate styles that can hold up through next year’s long, wet summer. A swim suit should fit snugly, but not so tight that it binds and chafes; but neither should it be so loose that it slips down or shows off a saggy-baggy vibe. Swimwear manufacturers like 405 South by Anita G., Haiden Surf, SnapMe Swimwear, and PilyQ offer good-looking, long-wearing styles that put young pool and beach-goers front and center with on-trend appeal.

Lately I’ve been allowing my sweet tooth to make more and more of my eating decisions. Cupcakes in particular are a personal favorite. And clearly I’m not alone. The cupcake business continues to boom with new bakeshops popping up on every street corner. We certainly don’t need them to survive, so why are we consuming them at such a high rate? Obviously we’re addicted to the sugar rush, but there’s more to it. It seems the bakery industry has developed the perfect recipe for cooking up demand. And it’s time for other industries — ours included — to take note. Because let’s face it, no one needs anything brands are selling.
