While wandering through Scottsdale Quarter recently, I came across an absolutely amazing baby store, giggle. I fell in love with their products and mission in-store (pssst, they hold storytimes twice a week, too!), but then I found their website. Aaahhhaaahhhaaa…it quickly became my new obsession. I spent countless hours deciding what products I just had.to.have, reading their blog, checking out their deals and then I came across The Cradle. It is an amazing resource filled with information, tools, chat rooms, and so much more. Now the real kicker, giggle recently released an app for the smart phone that allows you to register for your baby shower or party with your phone! Say so long to those ugly scanners we all lugged around and say hello to the future. Oh, how I wish I had known about this when I was pregnant. Leave us a comment and tell us about your giggle expereince.
