BabyBuzz BlogThe Buzz on All Baby Things Irresistibly Cute
First there was Black Friday, then Cyber Monday. Now, there’s Small Business Saturday THIS Saturday, the day people support small businesses like us. Pledge to Shop Small (any day this weekend would actually be fine). If millions of Americans shop small, it will be huge. If getting a one month head start on the holiday shopping, avoiding long lines and jammed parking lots aren’t enough incentive, here’s a little more for you… our 10-20-30 SALE. 
Kicky Pants baby basics, made from eco-friendly bamboo, are so super soft, we wish they made them in grown up sizes so we could just lounge around in it all day. Fortunately our babies can. Bamboo is an eco-friendly, sustainable crop that grows wild without the aid of fertilizers or pesticides. It is one of the fastest growing plants in the world. Bamboo fabric is naturally antibacterial, antifungal and antistatic. Bamboo absorbs water 3-4 times better than cotton, keeping skin comfortable, rather than sticky in summer weather. And bamboo stays 2-3 degrees cooler in hot weather and warmer in cold. We’ll have it online soon, but for now, we’ve got it in store!
One of my favorite things about having a store is the whole interior design factor. Some might say the store is really my excuse to design a space. I love picking crazy colors and furniture that you might think would never work together, but somehow magically do (and hopefully inspire people to buy stuff). One (not-so-)big secret to the interior design of the new BabyBuzz is Blik. The muralist that had painted the old BabyBuzz was overbooked at the time that I needed him, so I decided to look for something different for the new store, and preferably something less expensive. After a very late night of web-surfing, I found just that: a modern, whimsical, different sort of wall graphic. There aren’t many sophisticated interior design elements that you can get for under $40. There are currently three on the walls at BabyBuzz: the Bird Banner over our door (that says “come back soon!”), the Anise flowers behind the register, and a very Dr. Suess-y Blowfish blowing bubbles in the play area. Everyone always thinks they’re painted on and they never fail to make people smile. Well we are very excited to announce that just yesterday, our first Blik order arrived and now you too can have some fun and update your own abode! Some of our other favorites are the Race Track Decals and the Animal Alphabel Decals. Shop Blik here.

You heard right: BabyBuzz is moving to Los Gatos! We love you, Willow Glen & San Jose – over the last three years, we’ve met many wonderful, sweet, awesome friends, but we simply found a bigger & better space in downtown Los Gatos, which we feel will allow our business to grow.

We are aware of other Los Gatos children’s stores and plan on bringing in something amazing & unique just for you. Planned opening date: July-ish. Until then, we’re having a REALLY BIG MOVING SALE in Willow Glen starting this weekend (6/18), up to 50% off, you won’t want to miss. More details on the move and it’s progress will be available on our Facebook page: facebook.com/babybuzzcafe – so ‘like’ us there to stay tuned. New address-to-be: 35 W. Main St, Los Gatos, CA 95030.

We don’t want a single person not knowing where to get their baby gear, maternity wear, and other irresistibly cute stuff.
Here’s some royal wedding inspired gear for your little prince and/or princess.
Foodies and children of foodies, Happy Earth Day! Here are three recommendations for plastic-bag free lunch toting. Not only do we want to keep plastic bags out of the landfill, but we also want you carrying your lunch in style. Built NY and Dabbawalla lunch bags, both made of Neoprene (the wet suit material) and therefore insulating, both expand to fit a variety of containers, and both machine washable, are our absolute favorite lunch bags. Adults often walk out of BabyBuzz with slick and stylish Built NY totes for themselves and fun, funky, modern Dabbawalla lunch bags for their children. LunchBots are a healthy alternative to plastic containers for packing lunch to go. Made from the highest quality 18/8 stainless steel, LunchBots do not leach chemicals like plastic does. Eco-friendly and reusable means saving money and the environment.
