Will Moms Pay More for Certain Children's Products?

By The Giggle Guide

The Giggle Guide® asked 26 moms “Are there certain types of children’s products you’re willing to pay a premium for?” When it comes to the welfare of their children, it is not surprising that most moms will invest more on products that ensure their kids’ health, safety, comfort and education.

Kids Adore Bubby, the Inflatable Buddy

By Jennifer Hill

Plush stuffed toys are perfect for cuddling, snuggling and providing a touch of security for children at home and away.

It's Good to Know … Angela Edgeworth

At our first meeting we began what has grown into a very nice business friendship, based on mutual respect, admiration and appreciation of our ability to help each other in our respective businesses.
