Kits for Kids

Hip Baby re-opened this past spring under new management (the same folks who created Fig Organic Kids Clothing), and it is an entirely new store—even the logo is funkier. Not only can you now purchase your Fig clothing at Hip Baby, but you will be sure to find some great toys, gifts, and a wide-selection of baby and toddler essentials as well. What caught our savvy attention was the extensive selection of cloth diapers. Michael Ziff, one of the owners, conducts cloth diapering workshops at the store on a regular basis (next workshop is August 4). They are currently in the process of developing an online store, so soon you will be able to get your Hip Baby gear without leaving your house.

Finally, don’t leave without picking up some essentials for dinner at Jackson’s Meats & Deli. They are coming back to Kits (after a brief reprieve) and opening up in about a week. Jackson’s Meats, the oldest butcher shop in the city, is now being managed by the next generation of the Jackson family, and they are set on making their name as the best deli in Kitsilano too. They plan to offer an excellent selection of meats and poultry and claim to have the best price for organic chicken in the neighbourhood. New to the shop will be a wide selection of imported and local cheeses, and wonderful fresh sandwiches and soups. It sounds like a great lunch destination while ‘doing the strip’ with the kids.

It’s true that Rainbow Road has definitely found a new kinda groove, one that hip Vancouver mamas, dare we say savvy moms, are eating up.
