This week at Stork

The end of February is a hard time of year for shopping - it’s too early to buy spring clothing and shoes, yet there’s no point in buying any more winter gear.  So what’s a shopping lover to do???     It’s simple - buy for your babies, toddlers and kids - new stock is arriving at Stork weekly.

Now I’m thinking that I’m going to have to get some glass baby bottles for Stork too… in addition to our stainless steel and aluminum sippy cups.  I’ll keep you posted!

New this first week of Feb

We’re more than halfway done with winter - that’s good news for most of us - soon the snowsuits and the big stroller blankets will get put away for another year and we’ll be thinking about picnics and swimming pools (and sun protection).

While you’re still hibernating, take a few moments to see what’s new on the Stork website; have you checked out the Stork links page recently?  We’ve got listings from some of favourite on and offline resources and partners.

New from Wee Gallery:  TWINS BOARD BOOK

$6.99

 ‘What should we call the Twins?’ uses an amusing play on words to create an entertaining board book for all ages. The high-contrast faces and colorful flairs cavtipate babies while the rhythmic language appeals to older children. What would you call the twins? You will be tickled by the names toddlers, and even grandparents, come up with.

Amusing to all - not just twins!!

New shipment of Doudou et Compagnie has arrived

Orders for these hard to find bears and bunnies come to be me from far and wide.  These French-designed toys are by far the softest, best quality “doudous” I have come across…  they sure stand up to the washing machine too!

Now available at Stork - Multi-bottle packs of Sigg and Klean Kanteen… it’s now so much more economical to buy these great products.  Why not team up with a friend and save?
