Pokkadots: Amazon's Stylish Cousin for All-Things-Baby


I hate one-stop shopping. Places like Walmart and Costco, while great from an efficiency perspective, really give me a gigantic headache.


But one-stop-shopping on the internet, I totally do. My Amazon bill can back me up here. (What did we do before free overnight shipping? Go to an actual store?) For my kids, I find that I look on several sites for clothes, another few for gear, even more for all the crap that goes with feeding, do you see where you can spend an inordinate amount of time looking for what you need?


Pokkadots sells everything for the wee ones. It is the first site I've seen quite like it. Clothes, gear, gifts, feeding stuff, toys, (even the huge ones no one sells online) furniture, accessories, strollers, decor, everything. Here is the crazy part: none of it is hideous! This sounds quite logical, but somehow online baby stores tend to stock 30% of the site with terribleness so incredible I wonder how it is possible.


Pokkadots must have a warehouse that takes up the entire state of Virginia and eats all of their revenues, but that is their problem, not mine!
