Hat's Off to Cute Hats

I'm pretty big on finding unique items for my baby. There's not a whole lot of fun in having him look just like everyone else. Even when it came time to purchase a winter hat, I wasn't satisfied with what I found in department stores. They were boring or ugly or featured Disney or other cartoon characters. He's 1 - he doesn't know who Dora or Diego are so why should he wear them on his hat? After several brick and mortar and online searches proved worthless, I went to the one place I can always find something unique. Etsy. com, once again, pulled through for me. After some carefully selected search terms I came across the vendor Once Upon a Hook. Working out of her pet- and smoke-free home in Brooklyn, this gal comes up with some truly adorable lids for your little one. Animals, flowers, berries, monsters, stripes and more, you can be sure no other kids at daycare will have a hat like these! I went with a simple color scheme and the hilarious curly cues for my son's hat. I get so many compliments on it wherever I go, and I tell everyone where I got it. Many inquirers are grown women wanting one for themselves. It can be thrown in the washing machine for easy cleaning, and it seems stretchy enough that it will last us several seasons at least. Definitely a great buy with a look and quality that's really unbeatable.
