Don't leave the hospital without your Brella
I may not be a fan of matchy-matchy outfits, but coordinated stationery ensembles are the sort of matching that I can appreciate, as long as they're done well.  No pastel teddy bears or scary clowns, please.

Brella Baby has hit the mark with their new Brella Bundles.  Their signature collection gift set includes a baby memory book, coordinating journal/photo album, and two sets of boxed note cards--everything a new mama needs to start documenting in style.

What I love most about Brella is their use of modern colors and elegant designs. After all, these books really are for mothers to enjoy. Particularly when we pull them out 18 years from now and humiliate the kid in front of his prom date.-Julie

15% off photo holiday cards at Brella Baby with code coolmompicks through 12/25/08, plus all matte stationery currently 40% off

Congratulations to Linsey P, winner of the signature collection gift set!
