New York International Gift Fair: February 2010 - Part V
WRY BABY Homebase: Mooresville, NC DESIGNER: Kelly and David Sopp Wholesale prices for Pirate Towel: approximately $17 Wry Baby products are channeled through the off-centered minds of the Sopps whom I am convinced are toddlers dressed in adult costumes.
Outstanding piece: The Pirate Towel offers plenty of soft Terry cloth to wrap - and a pirates hat too. Coordinating washcloths are available.

Homebase: Denver, CO DESIGNER: Alessandra Mayer Wholesale price for hooded towel: $18 Mayer's gifts are soft, comfortable and as bright as the candy in a gumball machine.
Outstanding piece: After a bath or on the beach, this generously sized, soft, Terry cloth hooded towel keeps a little one covered from crown to toes. You have to smile at the vivid color, that octopus motif and the bright bubble trim. Fun!
