"Baby’s Basics was born out of necessity. As a new mom, I wanted to provide my baby with the best educational toys to support his development, but I was overwhelmed by too many options. As a clinical psychologist, I knew how important it was to make sure he had the right items for each stage of development to help foster important sensory and motor skills." -- Alison C.

Biography:
Our Vision. Gibout Toys started with a vision to create unique toys that fuel the imagination. A passion to provide high-quality toys that will grow with your child, rather than become yesterday’s passing fad. We care a great deal about the environment, and are a strong advocate for protecting it. That's why we specialize in toys that are made of renewable wood, plant-based rubber, water-based paints and have a low production impact on the environment. We go to great lengths to provide toys without toxic paints, plastics, or other harmful chemicals, regardless of where they are manufactured.

About the founder: With a new baby in tow, Cheri Citrowske was struggling to find unique products to fill her nursery. She was looking for something fun to stack in the corner. Specifically, a larger, softer version of classic wooden, building blocks. When her search proved fruitless, she decided to make the blocks herself. “What started as nursery décor turned into my daughter’s favorite toy – eight years later, they are still the most popular toys at our house.” They are fun for any age. Whether you have a child that’s just learning to walk and looking for something soft to pull up on, or an active four-year-old who is constantly tearing apart the couch cushions to build forts. They are a one-size-fits-all toy that grows with your child. The hardest part is deciding which pattern to get. We are proud to say that all of our plush blocks are assembled locally, in the United States. Mix, match and make!“We’re excited to introduce a toy that inspires creativity, is safe for any age and, perhaps best of all, adds room aesthetic instead of clutter,” said Cheri Citrowske, president of Gibout Toys. “Gibout Toys is truly a long-time dream realized.”

Biography:
The mission of TravelKiddy is Amusing Kids Here, There and Everywhere! In keeping with that spirit, we offer a full array of travel toys, challenging games, and, of course, activity kits. It all began with an activity kit. TravelKiddy activity kits were born out of necessity. Living in Hong Kong, we were faced with a long flight every time we wanted to leave the island - including a 27 hour journey to visit friends and family in the United States. Determined to make it tolerable, I began making activity kits for our kids. After numerous requests from friends, fellow travelers, and even flight attendants, I decided to create them for others.

What's a TravelKiddy? In short, A TravelKiddy is an adventure in a bag. A bundle of toys, activities and crafts that are carefully selected to challenge and engage kids for extended periods of quiet play. Our kits are designed to:

  • Encourage creativity
  • Develop fine motor skills
  • Spark the imagination and
  • Foster learning
And, we have discovered the need to keep kids busy and happy expands beyond travel - restaurants, churches and doctors waiting rooms are just a few of the places where we find ourselves trying to keep kids quiet and entertained. We have created a variety of activity kits and stock a plethora of products to meet these needs!

All our products are kid tested, parent approved, travel ready and most are TSA friendly.
