Despite it being September, there’s pretty much a month left to find baby halloween costumes if you plan on ordering online and ensuring that your little guy or girl is wearing something unique for this halloween. 

This one on the left cracks me up, it’s got a great set of fonts and the color of the onesie itself is perfect for converting that cute baby fat into a pumpkin-like appearance. 

There are actually a few funny/ironic halloween costumes for babies that I’ve come across – Personally, I’d want my little pumpkin to be the focus at halloween parties but I also realize that halloween gifts are an increasing trend too so I suppose it’s good that there are a few funny ones available. 

Now if I can just find a green hat that looks like a stem I’m set.

Perhaps it’s because I’m going to be a dad soon, but much of my focus lately has been on finding funny or nerdy baby clothes for the upcoming little one.  Sure, there are lots of other items we need to research and purchase like strollers, cribs, playpens and such, but they’re not quite as fun as the perfect onesie.  The first few months are no doubt going to be filled with “awww, let’s see the baby” type moments, but let’s face it – Newborn babies are a bit boring.  They don’t really interact, so that’s why it’s the perfect opportunity to put some hilarious phrases on personalized baby clothes and allow your friends and family to have a laugh while they check out the newborn.

Many of the shops I checked out will do personalized text, but not images and sometimes you really need a picture to get your point across or make the impact you want.  I found a site that will do whatever you want on a onesie or toddler tee, you just checkout with the personalized baby onesies or personalized toddler t-shirts you want and then email the text/design.  They do a great job of designing things if you have something in mind as well, for us “creative, but not so great at photoshop” types.

I still need to figure out what the best car seat is, what gadgets are necessary and which are a waste and a bunch of other things, but the baby should be very well dressed now and I’ll have no problem finding a personalized baby gift for friends in the future…That’s gotta count for something.
