The holidays are here, and you know what that means—it's time to find the perfect gifts for all the special people (and pups!) in your life.

Let's make this holiday season a little easier and a lot more fun!
For Baby
Take Me Home Sets
There's nothing quite like a newborn's first outfit, and our Take Me Home Sets are designed to make that moment even more special. These coordinated sets are the perfect blend of comfort and cuteness—think soft, organic fabrics that are gentle on delicate skin and styles that look absolutely precious in all those "welcome home" photos. New parents will appreciate the thoughtfulness, and trust us, these sets will be treasured forever (hello, baby book material!).
Teethers
If you've ever been around a teething baby, you know the struggle is real. That's why a good teether is worth its weight in gold! Our teethers aren't just functional—they're adorable & unique too. From fun shapes to safe, baby-friendly materials, these little lifesavers will keep babies happy and give parents a much-needed break. And bonus: they can also be used as bath toys! Grab one (or a few!) - they make great stocking stuffers!
Baby's First Bibs + Onesies
Milestone moments deserve to be celebrated, and our Baby's First collection is perfect for capturing all those special "firsts." Whether it's baby's first gameday, first beignet, or other noteworthy firsts in NOLA, these bibs and onesies are keepsakes in the making. They're practical enough for everyday wear but special enough to save forever. It's the kind of gift that shows you really care about those precious early memories.
For New Mamas
Mommy & Me Sets
Is there anything sweeter than a mama and baby in matching outfits? We don't think so! Our Mommy & Me sets are perfect for creating those Instagram-worthy moments while also giving new moms something comfortable and stylish to wear. Made for those early cozy days at home, these coordinated looks celebrate the beautiful bond between mother and child.
DIY Handprint Towel
Now here's a gift that's truly one-of-a-kind! A DIY handprint towel gives new moms the chance to create a lasting keepsake of their baby's tiny hands (because seriously, how are they so small?!). It's an easy, fun activity that results in something incredibly sentimental. Every time mama uses that towel, she'll remember just how little those hands once were. Grab a tissue—this one's a tearjerker!
For Kids
Pajamas
Nothing says "holiday magic" quite like kids in festive pajamas on Christmas morning. Our cozy PJ sets are perfect for keeping little ones comfortable while they tear into presents and run around the house with excitement. From fun holiday prints to classic styles they can wear all season long, these pajamas check all the boxes: soft, organic, durable, and absolutely adorable in photos.
Dresses
Holiday parties, family gatherings, trips to see Santa—the season is full of special occasions, and every kid deserves a dress that makes them feel special too. Our collection has something for every style, from twirly party dresses that are perfect for showing off on the dance floor to more casual options for everyday celebrations. And the best part? They're comfortable enough that kids will actually want to wear them!
Shorts & Shortalls
Living in Louisiana means we never really stop wearing shorts—even in December! Our shorts and shortalls are versatile wardrobe staples that work year-round. They're perfect for active kids who need to move, play, and explore without any fuss. Plus, shorts are easy to mix and match with everything else in their closet. It's the practical gift that keeps on giving long after the holidays are over.
Bath Toys
Let's be real: bath time can be a battle. But throw in some fun bath toys, and suddenly kids can't wait to hop in the tub! These toys make bath time enjoyable while encouraging imaginative play and helping with developmental skills. Parents will love you for making their evening routine a little easier, and kids will love you for making bath time the highlight of their day.
For the Hostess
Kitchen Towels
You can never have too many kitchen towels—every hostess knows this truth! Our kitchen towels combine function with style, featuring fun patterns and seasonal designs that brighten up any kitchen. They're the kind of gift that's always appreciated and actually gets used. Plus, they're perfect for that friend who seems to have everything else already.
Ornaments
An ornament is more than just a decoration—it's a memory that gets unwrapped year after year. Whether you go with something personalized or choose a design that matches your hostess's style, ornaments become part of family traditions and holiday stories. It's a timeless gift that keeps on giving, bringing a smile every time it's hung on the tree.
Acrylic Cups & Plates
For the friend who's always throwing the best backyard barbecues, pool parties, or holiday gatherings, acrylic drinkware and plates are an absolute game-changer. They're stylish enough for entertaining but durable enough that nobody has to worry about broken glass. From holiday parties to summer get-togethers, these pieces work hard all year long. Plus, they come in such cute, NOLA styles!
Cutting Boards
A beautiful cutting board is the gift that keeps a hostess's kitchen both functional and fabulous. Whether it's used for actual prep work or as a gorgeous serving piece for charcuterie and appetizers, a quality cutting board is something every entertainer needs (and probably wants multiples of!). Always look for quality materials and eye-catching designs that can go straight from counter to table.
For the Guys: Catch & Release
Finally, a menswear collection that captures the spirit of Louisiana living! Our Catch & Release line is all about breathable, stylish pieces that work whether he's casting a line, heading to a festival, or just enjoying a laid-back weekend. The collection features bold, New Orleans-inspired prints—think blue crabs, crawfish boils, and classic cocktails—that celebrate everything we love about living down here. Whether you're shopping for your husband, brother, dad, or friend who's impossible to shop for, this collection brings that NOLA flair he'll actually be excited to wear.
For the Pet Lover: Dog Toys
Let's not forget about the four-legged family members! Pet parents love when someone acknowledges their fur babies, and a fun, durable dog toy is always a hit. Whether it's a squeaky toy, a rope for tug-of-war, or something they can chase around the yard, these toys show that you care about their whole family—paws and all. Plus, you'll definitely score some points with the pup!
