Let’s be frank. Times are tight. I just listened to a radio news report detailing that American consumers have spent all they can spend on high end goods and are now sticking with the basics. But, nothing says I love you better than a well designed gift, right? You could make a gift yourself which is always a fabulous option, or you could go to check out a few of Design Public’s affordable gems. (Let’s not beat around the bush: they’re sponsors! But, you have to love their strong curatorial vision of high quality low cost design). Here we go!

Within this past year several people I know including my wife had a baby. And for some strange reason 2 of the babies that I saw born this year (including my boy Lawrence) were photographed at one point in a tote bag. So it was some sort of fate that I was sent an email to this product which is a tote bag made for carrying a baby. The product is called Do Baby and it’s designed by Gabriele Pezzini. The reason we put our kid in a tote bag is because we thought it was cute. Do Baby, on the other hand feels somewhat different. The baby feels a bit more like a commodity as if you were able to pick one up at any grocery store. Still, it’s nice to have a carrier such as this available to give another option for carrying a baby. As any parent knows, carrying a child is never easy, and a variety of positions with which to hold the baby makes life just a little simpler.
