Bebe + Me dribble bib themes








Whilst decorating my son's bedroom and then playroom for some unknown reason I was drawn towards everything and anything to do with pirates.

Now that he is a little older and is beginning to form words and favour certain toys over others, we are again being drawn towards a theme (at the moment its dinosaurs)... These chosen themes often find themselves appearing in other items we buy for them such as; book, clothes and bedding.

With this understanding Bebe + Me has created a collection of dribble bibs; where we can guarantee almost every possible theme is covered.

For the Boys:
Dinosaur dribble bibs
Skull & Cross Bone dribble bibs
Farm Animal dribble bibs
Cars, Planes & Train dribble bibs

For the Girls:
Butterfly dribble bibs
Floral dribble bibs
Princess dribble bibs
Strawberry dribble bibs

To be continued....

Dribbling has never been funkier!!

Dribbling is a tell tell sign that your baby is teething, along with rosy red cheeks and general grumpiness.

Depending on your baby they may dribble heaps or none at all; my son Eton starting dribbling at about 4 months and goes through stages where he dribbles a lot or none at all... at the moment (16 months) he's dribbling a lot again as well as being incredibly grumpy (but its his bigger back teeth coming through so its all understandable)....

This is when I found our Bebe + Me Bandana Dribble Bibs a life (and clothes)saver... the funky bandana style allows these dribble bibs to become a functional fashion accessory.

All of our bandana dribble bibs are made from 100% cotton fronts, polyester super soft fleece backs, 2 nickel free snap fastenings and our bandana dribble bibs have a distinctive white top stitch detail.

Our use of soft fleece backs enables our bandana dribble bibs to soak up all of yours babies dribble, milk and sick-up. The fleece also prevents the dribble from soaking through on to their clothes and also draws the moisture away from their delicate skin and helps to prevent your baby from developing a sore neck.

Our bandana dribble bibs are ideal for babies from birth as there V-shape design does not swamp their small delicate frames and also do not hide the beautiful clothes us mums spend hundreds of pound on. As we use of 2 nickel free snap fastenings our adjustable sized bandana dribble bibs can be worn by children up to the age of 5 years+.

All of our bandana dribble bibs can be washed at 30 degrees, preferably air dried but if necessary tumble dried on a low heat and can be ironed normally.

Bebe + Me Adwords

Bebe + Me's New Year's resolution was to increase our google ranking by any means... The endless Blogging, Tweeting and FB have made some headway but not improved our ranking so much that we hit the golden 1st page....

So we've decided to take out some Google Adwords!!! To be honest we have no idea what we're doing BUT our advert is there and ready to be clicked (but please don't all rush out and click on it!!)

So fingers crossed this might generate a few sells; for our collection of beautiful handmade baby and toddlers gifts: bandana bibs, tag blankets, baby leather shoes, toddler clothes, busha leggings, dribble bibs, knitted hats, soft toys, rag dolls.

We have also uploading products to google shopping (again however we know very little about how to increase our ranking on this, but it all helps in one way or another).

New Shoes at Bebe + Me

The saying goes "A girl can never have too many shoes" - well here at Bebe + Me we believe a "Baby can never have too many either"... especially in these colder months the added protection of a gorgeous pair of Leather Shoes is a great bonus and fantastic way to finish an outfit.

Not only does the soft leather provide that extra layer over those little toes but they are perfect for little crawler/ standers or first time walkers.... I have also found that they make great slippers for little walkers especially if you have wooden or tiled flooring.

We have a gorgeous collection for both boys and girls x







Dont forget we also have a beautiful collection of Bandana Dribble Bibs, Rag Dolls, Tag Blanket + much more

Bebe + Me SALE!!!

The Bebe + Me SALE is increasing; more products are being added everyday.

Baby Leather Shoes, Soft Toys and soon to be added Bandana Dribble Bibs




























Product research??

Designing your own website is a challenge, trying to increase your google ranking is something else. I also have the added difficulty of knowing which search terms people and potential customers are using; is it "bandana bib" "dribble bib" "kerchief"..???

After intense blogging, networking and more blogging I have seen a slight increase in one search term but the others stay frozen... GRrrr!!!

I suppose the only way around this is to use all keywords in ever blog I write (not great to people reading them though), bt how else can I make the precious time spent networking and blogging work for me?

Key words I use at the moment consist of:
bandana bib
dribble bib
tag blanket
baby gift
baby leather shoes
soft toys
rag dolls

As a complete novice at all of this I find myself even questioning the use of adding "links" to Blog etc, do the little crawler bots read the links or would it make more sense to actually write the web page address in full???

Its so confusing but I it is my mission for 2011 to get my website to the golden page No.1

SALE now on!!

Bebe + Me has SALE items looking for new homes. We are still in the process of adding our SALE items but we already have some baby leather shoes added and will soon have some bandana dribble bibs available, clothes, toys and accessories:

Bandana Bib Gift Sets

Bebe + Me are now offering great ideas for our customers. These Gift Sets are a great way to "save money" whilst still buying our quality products. We only have a few Bandana Bib Gift Sets at this moment but we intend to increase our range to include our Traditional Style Bibs and Burp Cloths.





New Bandana Bib Images - its all in the detail

Over the holiday break Bebe + Me have been busy working away on new images of our bandana bib collection. It sounds very simple but its meant every design has been made (great for the influx of orders we've had since opening again in the New Year), photographed, edited and uploaded. We think the look good and display our bandana bibs and the selection of super cute designs we current have.
