Baby Stuff = A Big Racket

Someone is making a killing off baby merchandise. Think I’m kidding, check out this baby bedding set that’s almost $1,000.

At the moment I’m really frustrated because I can’t find a decent baby bedding set suitable for a boy. I like a couple sets (Babylicious Islands collection for example) but the prices for a bumper, quilt/coverlet, crib skirt and sheet run over $200. What! I only paid $50 for my queen bed set at TJMaxx! Adding to the problem is that I want a bright modern design… no baby blue, no bears driving cars, you get the picture. This really limits my selection. I’ve tried looking for crib separates (since you can’t really use the quilt/coverlet anyway) and have found absolutely nothing, with the exception of a few DwellBaby products (which are modern, just not quite what I had in mind). A few sites, such as modernseed.com had some great clearance prices on Denyse Schmidt bedding, but only on the little girl sets.. GRRRRRRR!!! I might be sewing my own baby bedding (which I’d really rather not do!!).

Of course this might all be a moot point if Baby Denbow doesn’t decide to reveal his/her gender this Wednesday!! Then I might be looking for a gender neutral set (gasp!).
