Guest Curator: Back to School with Babyccino

Babyccino is a website for urban moms: a daily dose of city life mixed with products and parenting tips. It’s like eavesdropping on a group of girlfriends in a café — only they’re inviting you to take part in the conversation! Four women in four cities (London, Paris, Amsterdam and Milan) discuss life, kids, style and all their favorite must-haves. From art projects and toys to fashion and food, the conversation is genuine, helpful and sometimes funny.

We just love Etsy! Isn’t it fantastic to spend some time (and it can easily result in QUITE some time) browsing Etsy, surfing from shop to shop, occasionally pulling out the PayPal wallet to purchase yet another wonderful birthday present?

At Babyccino, we are HUGE fans of everything handmade. We can feel the love, the attention, the hope that somebody will treasure the product with as much care as it was initially made.

Now that we all have school-going kids (time flies when you’re having fun!), we want to equip them with cute goodies so they won’t miss us too much in that strange, scary environment called school. Because surely they will miss us, their beloved parents, their role models, their REAL teachers! Or will we just miss them? To ease the pain on both parties, we have selected some very, VERY sweet back to school items for you — er, your kids!
