Good Golly

Top three activities to avoid doing with your children in tow:

1. Shopping
2. Shopping
3. Shopping

Ok, so we know that it’s unavoidable at times. But, if shopping brings images of children playing hide-and-seek under clothes racks to mind, there is a better alternative for your zero to four year old darlings. Knock your shopping stress down a couple of notches and go online.

Golly Geez Baby was born in Calgary this summer by resourceful entrepreneur Melanie Hampson. An aspiring mother-to-be, Hampson recognizes the need for fun and functional products for families. Through online and ‘mom-to-mom’ market research, she has brought together an ever expanding product line focusing on funky, practical solutions to baby and toddler everyday challenges such as teething, diapering, sleeping and eating.

Check out the DadGear Diaper Vest suitable for those fathers who have not embraced the man purse (and we kind of hope they never do anyway). The kid-safe Totspot LED light is another cool new product on Golly Geez’ shelves.

Big promoters of local products, Golly Geez Baby carries items from Calgary companies Bugalug no-slip hairclips, Little Soles shoes, Goo-Goo Baby bibs (the Perfect Pocket Bibs are especially handy) and Hipmelon Baby Wear carriers. There’s also a special focus on nontoxic and baby safe products such as the super cute Sophie the Giraffe.

If they don’t already carry it, Golly Geez Baby will do their best to custom order products for you from Canada, the U.S. or around the world. Other services include a gift registry and gift certificates.

Shipping is free in Calgary with a $50 purchase and free to the rest of Canada if you spend $100. All products are returnable and a quick local call can arrange a drop-off/pick-up within the city limits.

Golly Geez Baby gets a savvy thumbs up for supporting The Center of Education for Children’s Health and the Environment, which spreads awareness about the risks of environmental toxins in children’s immediate environments.

Eventually your kids will want to climb out from under the racks and pick out their own stuff. But while they still view shopping malls as obstacle courses, put them to bed and head for the web.
