Cute Baby Hats and Great Campaigns

Baby Herald has been relying upon her cousin's hand-me-down sunhat, which is all fine except that it's blue and then everyone thinks she's a boy and I get tired of saying, "Actually, she's a girl." So it was time to get something a little more...pink. Or just not blue. We hit a standby baby source, Old Navy on 34th Street.

The purple madras was a little too big, but I liked the versatile brim and Baby Herald liked the tag and the fascinating pattern.














This is one of the cutest baby hats I've seen yet, well done, Old Navy.

Hats run from $2.99+ on sale and up to around $9 for full-price. We also love the Old Navy baby pajamas, hand-me-downs again, but look for new ones in the baby department on the third floor.

And while you're at Old Navy on 34th Street this weekend, shopping for baby hats or taking advantage of 4th of July sales, be sure to contribute to this excellent campaign to support our troops:

Updated to add - I just received more information on the military donation campaign: items accepted for donation are adult basic T's (men's and women's), adult underwear, boxer shorts, socks, flip-flops, sunglasses, lip balm, and foot powder. Items must be new and unopened. Also, if a customer buys a flag T-shirt, Old Navy will automatically donate one to the troops. And it doesn't stop there: the store will have a letter-writing station where they encourage everyone to stop by and write a letter to the troops. Happy Fourth of July, indeed!

Get on 34th Street's Old Navy Cruise

Go cruising at Old Navy on 34th Street this weekend and pick up some new gear for the high seas. Or, for you land lovers, buy some regular old resort wear. Either way, if you're a cardholder (Old Navy, Gap, or Banana Republic) you get 25% off your entire purchase all four days you shop Old Navy from Thursday, 1/28 through Friday, 1/21. And if you don't have a card, sign up for one and you'll get 25% off all four days too.

Baby socks aren't exactly cruise wear, but socks fall off Arm Baby like she's a greased pig. I find little socks lying round everywhere. These Old Navy baby socks are the only ones that stay on her feet, and they are striped, so they are all she wears.

Old Navy 34th Street will also have some cruise-inspired fun during the event this weekend, including music, dancing, karaoke, games, prizes, fashion shows, and some travel representatives hanging out ready to sign you up for the QMII world cruise. Well, I don't know if the QMII people will be there, but if the stars were aligned, she'd be my cruise of choice, thanks.
