Ugly Dolls are Great Gifts!



It all started when every letter that David Horvath sent to Sun-Min Kim (they were friends that lived in different countries.) had a little cartoon of Wage at the bottom of the letter saying "I miss You" next to it. As a surprise gift Sun-Min sewed a doll of Wage, and sent it to David in the mail. They made some more, and the ugly dolls quickly became popular.

As they are handmade, each doll features slight variations, enhancing the dolls' uniqueness. Each doll also includes a small tag describing the character's distinctive personality. Ugly Dolls have their own little world where both children and adults can enter the beautiful world of ugly, collect all the dolls and collect the quirky minis. Kid and adults looking for a little whimsy can attach them to backpacks, gym bags, luggage, diaper bags and lap top bags. I promise they will make you smile.

So don't forget about the Ugly Dolls when there's a birthday coming up and more importantly, don't forget the holidays are just around the corner!

Buy Ugly Dolls at Kustum Kribs either online at www.kustumkribs.com or stop by the store. We would love to see you!

Wet Bag Myths




There is a popular myth going around that wet bags are only for cloth diapering. This couldn't be further from the true. Let me tell you a little about the make up of a wet bag before I dispel any wet bag myths.

A wet bag is a reusable, washable, and eco-friendly bag designed priarily to hold and separate wet items. The outside of the bag is usually made from cotton or a water reisistan fabric. The inside is lined with a soft and durable lining, usually a pvc-free poly-urethane laminate.

There are many closure styles available in the wet bag - zipper, drawstring, Velcro or a fold-over top. Zipper closures are really the only ones that will seal in odors. Wet bags also vary in size. It depends what you are going to use it for - again, wait for me to dispel the myths.

There are many, many other things you may use a wet bag for in the course of the day. For baby - cloth or disposable diapers, bibs, bottles, wet clothes and baby food. For your toddler - potty training, drippy, sippy cups, snacks, wet clothes, and swimwear. Teens, yes teens -an eco-friendly lunch bag, after school sports bag, swim team bag, and beaach wear bag. For adults, see where I'm going with this - gym clothes, cosmetics, toiletries when traveling, swimwear, and hiking and camping gear.

So you see, wet bags can be used by any member of the family. Your little one can use that wet bag for the rest of their life. A really sound investment. To check out the wet bags at Kustum Kribs - stop by our store, call 847-825-5742 or shop online at www.kustumkribs.com.
