$10 for $20 to Spend at Cherry Hill Designs
Kid stuff — sippy cups, pacifiers and the like — is entirely too easy to misplace. If you’ve seen one pink polka-dotted binky, you’ve seen them all, especially if it’s lost in a sea of them at day care, preschool, or a church nursery. Cherry Hill Designs has the solution with tiny, dishwasher-safe pacifier labels! This online-only retailer of cute, brightly colored, personalized stickers makes waterproof labels for bottles, cups, pool toys, and more, as well as iron-on clothing labels that can also be used for cloth diapers and quilts. Cherry Hill uses its funky prints and fonts for a variety of other personalized merch, including melamine plates and bowls, bag and gift tags, and cellphone covers.
