Hipster Baby Essentials

Hipster Baby Gifts

Our good friend Amy, and Cindy Lou Who’s ((the psydonym for our daughter)) hipster life coach, from over at “i attack with love” created a one of a kind gift for our daughter the other day. You can read about the Hipster Baby care package here.


In the Hipster 101 kit was a 2 CD set of music Amy feels essential for any hipster baby to be accustomed to:
