Partyology App
We all know the struggles of turning a perfectly curated Pinterest board into a really amazing party. And apparently, so did the Dr. Barbara Edelstein and Mechele Flaum, the two founders of Partyology, a party planning concierge fitted to the palm of your hand. Get inspired by filtering through categorizes like gender, type of party, themes and more. Design that Frozen birthday bash by culling through the best ideas from around the web, and buy what you need, from decorations to party favors, all without closing the app! Setting up and entertaining will have to be all you, but it sure beats weeding through every craft store in town for pink polka dot balloons.

buttermilk babies swaddles
Having seen our fair share of swaddles, we figured one size fits all, right? buttermilk babies proved us wrong. Their new line of charming, super-soft swaddles will win you over with patterns that are anything but boring or kitschy. The Texas-based company was inspired by the joy buttermilk brings (think fried chicken and Sunday morning pancakes) and their silky soft swaddles aim to bring comfort and style no matter your taste. Their introductory collection features seven prints whose styles are fun, whimsical and unique. Bonus: these swaddles measure 47″x47″ and can easily double as a receiving blanket, burp cloth and more.

Available at buttermilkbabies.com for $75/four pack.
