Apple Blossom Bows Add a Finished Touch to Tot Tresses
Mamas of little girls eagerly await the day that their darling has enough hair to swoop into a bow. For the tot learning her letters, the personalized bows from Apple Blossom Bows ($9) may help aid letter recognition. The silver capital letters are sewn on one of more than three dozen grosgrain ribbons available in several shades and polka dot varieties.
When ordering, you can specify which side of her head your daughter wears her barrettes on and a fitting one will be made to order. The designer will even add no-slip grip at no extra charge. Perfect for the every day use, or special birthdays, these clips are sure to become a favorite.
Lil Find: Days of the Week Hairclips
In the rush of a school morning, the less you have to think about, the more likely you are to get out the door on time. That's why I was so excited to find these adorable days-of-the-week barrettes ($60). The set comes with a variety of colors that are sure to match your daughter's Fall wardrobe.
The handmade clips are made of individually stitched pieces of felt with the clip sewn inside, so there is no glue to get stuck in your lil one's hair. With clips preassigned for each day of the week, that's one less argument you and your princess have as you try to make it to the schoolhouse on time.
Trendtotting: Ribbies Hair Clips
Though my daughter was dressed in pink duds and floral prints for the first 18 months of her life, people would stop and say, "Oh, HE is so cute!" I thanked them for the compliment and wondered how they didn't notice her frilly get-ups. Desperate to put bows in her hair, none were capable of pulling back the few wisps she had on her nearly bald head.
But, now a couple more strands of hair were all we needed for Ribbies. These lightweight clippies have a foam grip to help keep the hair in place without slipping or causing a tot the pain that often accompanies metal barrettes. Good luck trying to pick just one pair of the ribbon adorned clips — they are available in 78 cheery grosgrain varieties.
Lil Find: Cupcake Hairclips
Hair clips for little girls are darn cute these days. I remember having long ribbon ones that my mom made for me when I was little. I loved them and wish I knew how to make them myself. Perhaps, I'll find out over the holidays and share that with you on my next Kidoodles.

Until then, I stumbled upon these precious cupcake barrettes for only $4 a pop. They measure about two inches across and can be customized with a "no slip grip" to help with fine hair. Your own lil cupcake will love them so much she'll be begging, "Mommy, please? With a cherry on top?"
