Many thanks to Natalie Klein of Hot Moms Club for this review of Hand Picked Pumpkin.

How often do you get to design your children’s clothing? Here’s a company that lets you do just that! Well, sort of. Hand Picked Pumpkin lets you choose the colors and designs from a variety of different outfits, hats, blankets, shorts, skirts, hoodies...You’ll feel as if you’re designing the clothing yourself. They’ve got a great online tool at Hand Picked Pumpkin that lets you point and click your choices and see what your clothes will look like. The knit fabrics are comfy and with my son now crawling, he needs the roomy fit and comfort of these clothes to get around.

Many thanks to LilSugar for this review posted last week:

Undoubtedly a staple in every person's wardrobe, hoodies say a lot about those who wear them. Now you can customize one to fit your child's fashion needs at Handpicked Pumpkin. The reversible sweatshirts ($64), available for tots sized 3-24 months, allow mamas to choose the inside and outside knits as well as interlock woven accent fabrics. From retro designs like Farm Kids and Rodeo Music Blue to mod swatches of Jim Dandy Orange and Floral Fusion, the finished garments have the "wow" factor and are machine-washable.

August Pumpkin of the Month!

Here's Brynn our August Pumpkin of the Month!

Her mom Nancy added this note:
Brynn is excited that she can wear hpp like her little sister now that the shirt dress is offered in bigger sizes. I love that this dress can be dressy or casual while still being comfy. I plan to design coordinating dresses for both my daughters for the holidays."

Congratulations Brynn and Nancy on receiving a $50 hpp gift certificate!
