Hot Picks for Gifts this summer!

by Katja Presnal on June 21, 2007

The baby boom is on this summer, but isn’t it on every summer? So there must be more birthdays during the summer time?

Children’s Fashion Guru Tina Barry at James Girone’s Online Guide to Children’s Fashion knows it. She just posted yesterday an article on Hot Picks for gifts this summer.

When Tina Barry contacted me for the hot gift picks from skimbaco.com, I was truly honored.

So here it is, Tina Barry’s article and my picks for best summer gifts:

“”Our mission is to spread sunshine to children’s lives,” says Katja Presnal who owns SKIMBACO. Part of the proceeds from each sale on the website is donated to children’s charities. “We believe every child deserves the best,” she says. Trendy moms who log onto Skimbaco, find luxurious gifts that, she says, are met with the “Where did you get this?” factor.

This charming little dress by Riiminka Design is a “Hot Pick” due to its “timeless cut, yet hip design that makes it stand out,” says Presnal. Moms have already placed orders for the heirloom quality, soft cotton Purple Princess Dress (4T-10, $49.99) for fall birthdays. “It’s our most popular dress!” says Presnal. The rich fuchsia and cherry colorway, as well as the happy cartoon image on the bodice, has a timeless appeal that make this dress a winner for a little girl, and the little sister who inherits the item.

There’s no “too early” when it comes to safeguarding children against sun damage, so I’m a huge fan of fashionable kids’ gear that’s treated to offer UV protection. So are the buyers who have made this outfit from Cabana Life a “Hot Pick.” The Lifeguard Tee in this season’s fashion forward slate blue is hip and the Beach Pants edged in contrasting blue stitching roll up to two different lengths and feature a large cargo pocket for shells and other treasures (4-7; Tee $28, pants $41).

Having walked children’s trade shows in the U.S. and overseas, I can tell you that anything with a Sixties, modern, graphic look has a strong appeal right now. So it’s no surprise that the silk-screened designs from Avalisa (12″ square up to 28″ square, $59-$177) are “Hot Picks” with Skimbaco’s clientele. “The Fish wall art offers bold designs and colors that appeal to both adults and children,” says Presnal. “
