Oh baby! Check out the 'Net
Sweet stuff for wee ones online
MARSIE HALL NEWBOLD | ENQUIRER CONTRIBUTOR
Wife and mother Katie Caccavari, 39, of Mount Washington, is too busy to leave the house these days. Her children, Grace, 3, and Jack, 22 months, are at "ages where they are a handful to pack up and take anywhere.
"So instead of dragging them to the store - which is insane - or getting my husband to stay with them or hire a baby sitter, I shop online," says Caccavari. "You just get on the Internet and boom, there's the Web site, and there's the item, and two clicks of the mouse and a credit card number later, it shows up at my house in a week. What could be better?"
The busy mother began shopping online when she was pregnant with Jack. It was so convenient, she never turned back.
If there's a baby or young children in your life - or you're looking for that perfect baby gift - have a look at these cool Web sites.

There are also personalized sterling silver baby spoons, handmade; the handle consists of the letters of your baby's name ($125 and up).
The site also has adorable bracelets for babies, toddlers and young girls ("Classic Silver," $35); add on Swarovski crystals and pearls and resize them as she grows. http://www.prettypersonalgifts.com/ ... |
