Pritty Imports Cozy Microwavable Plush Animals have just been restocked!


Aren't these the cutest little stuffies you've ever seen?? They are filled with natural wheat and gently scented with lavender -- designed to soothe, warm, comfort and relax. Just pop your child's favorite one in the microwave for 2 minutes and they have a warm and cozy plush to soothe them to sleep!

These have worked wonders in our household--each of my children chose a different animal and when they need a little extra comforting or just want something to warm them up then we heat up their animal and off they go into dreamland!

Available in the Wooly the Sheep, Pinky the Pig and Cuddles the Cow as shown above as well as these three cuties:

Huggy the Puppy

Beaky the Duck

Hopper the Bunny


Here's an idea: Hopper and Beaky would make fabulous additions to an Easter basket!!

As always, they are available in our store or on our website--we have all 6 animals instock rigt now.

Have a great weekend!!

Time Out Pads now available at JamTots Baby & More Store!

If you have a child that is starting to test his boundaries.... seeing if you really mean it when you say the word 'no' and doesn't like to stay in their room or on a chair or a certain spot that is the 'naughty spot' as per the famous tv SuperNanny... then this is exactly what you need!!

The Time Out Pad (now available at JamTots Baby & More Store) is a fabulous invention (obviously made by parents of children that wouldn't stay still during a time out!!) that the child sits on after you set a timer for a pre-determined # of minutes.

The timer will go off to alert the child when their time out is finished so you don't look like the 'bad guy' -- it is simply the Time Out Pad telling them when the time out is over--and it does a countdown so they can visually see with a traffic light system when their time out is coming to an end. (Ending the endless "is my time out over yet??" questions!)

However the BEST PART is that the timer countdown will pause if the child leaves the time out pad--so they have an incentive to stay seated on the pad--as the time out will be over faster if they stay seated!!

Now really, I don't think that they could have thought of anything else--they really have thought of everything! My only complaint was when I went to add it to our website.... it really didn't "fit" into any of our categories on our website... not into bedtime or bathroom or safety time nor on the go, kitchen or toys.... I settled on putting in in Mommy's Gear since it would most likely be Mom (and/or Dad!) using it -- and heck I had no idea where else to put it and didn't want a whole new main category just for the one product!! :)

I just wish they had invented the Time Out Pad many years ago - I really could have used this with my first son!!

The Complete Laptop Lunch Systems are now instock at JamTots!

I am excited to announce that we have just received our shipment from Obentec. They make fabulous Laptop Lunch Systems -- kind of an Americanized Bento Box for kids!

These fabulous Laptop Lunches are THE solution for sending your child's lunch to school--I am convinced--we received our first shipment about a month ago -- we only ordered the Bento Boxes alone (without the insulated carrying cases) and I bought one for each of my children (ages 8, 6 and almost 4) and I have fallen in LOVE!!

Here is what they look like:
My youngest son picked the "Primary" Bento Box.
My daughter picked the "Pink" Bento Box (what a surprise--not really--she LOVES pink!)


My oldest son picked the "Black" Bento Box - you know because it was the 'coolest' and all!

They are also available in "Whimsical" and "Periwinkle" which are also very nice.

We have them for sale on JamTots right here if you want to take a closer look: Laptop Lunch Bento Sets

They really are fabulous though--the containers are all dishwasher safe (top rack only) and you can take one or more out if you need to fit in larger items, or if you have younger kids that don't finish everything then you can always take out the container(s) with uneaten food and just put them back in the next day (or give it to them after school for a snack or whatever). One container has a lid so you can have one liquid food and then there is a little 'dip' sized container with a lid and that is SUPER handy--great to use for dip for vegetables!!



I personally pop the Laptop Lunch Bento Box as well as my kids Sigg Water Bottles
along with a fruit like a banana or an apple in their JamTots Zippered Lunch Bags (pictured on the right--available in a multitude of colors - and we can also custom embroider them with your child's name &/or a picture for a fee upon request) and they are good to go! That right there is a great system!



However on our latest shipment we also brought in The Complete Laptop Lunch System due to popular customer request (as seen on the left there--also available in 4 other color combos). Customers were asking for the complete set as they wanted the insulated carrying case and water bottle that went along with the Bento Box -- ask and you shall receive we always say! :) So we now have those instock at JamTots - both instore and online.



We also have some non-toxic ice-packs as well as extra inner containers & utensils available to purchase so you can have some to use while your dishwasher is taking care of cleaning the other ones! (Yes--they are all dishwasher safe--yah!)


So there you go--the Obentec Laptop Lunch products--all made from safe plastic that can be recycled once you are done with them (but that won't be for a LONG time I'm sure!) so you can't go wrong!! I'd love to hear what you think!

We're back!!!




Hello!!

Well we've finally decided to start posting to our blog again after a VERY long hiatus!! We also plan to not only post about new products that come in and sales that are on but shows that we will be in, products that we are working on, cool new products that we have found that we would like feedback on--we may also use this blog when we need new testers etc. etc.! Who knows where else it will go but we'll definitely try to use it more than we have in the past to let you into our world a little bit--to give you a little idea of who is behind JamTots-where we have come in the past 5+ years since we first opened our online store called JamTots Online Baby Store until now--where we now have a brick & mortar store in Victoria, British Columbia, and the online store-both of which we now call JamTots Baby & More Store and we also have several lines of cloth diapers (and a few other accessories such as Baby Spats Legwarmers)that we manufacture and wholesale around the world to other retailers through TOT Wearhouse Wholesale & Distributing and the range of products that we sell has grown from 1 (yes ONE!) product to heck I don't even know how many!! You'll just have to either come in and check out all of the fabulous new products that we have instore at 748 Goldstream Avenue in Langford or check out our website at www.jamtots.com - although our website does not have *everything* that we have in our store quite yet!


We have just added the fabulous BOB strollers to our website though and we are SUPER excited about that--they are definitely our FAVORITE stroller by far and EVERYONE that comes in to our store swears by them and is so happy that we are carrying them--oh and ALL BOB STROLLERS AND BOB STROLLER ACCESSORIES ARE 10% off for the month of JANUARY!!! So now if a super time to come in our shop online (free shipping on all BOB strollers if you live in North America!) for BOB Strollers as they rarely go on sale and you will NOT be disappointed in these AWESOME strollers--we have never had any complaints about them at all and their customer service is fantastic to boot!


I have just hired Lisa who is going to be helping me with getting more of the products from the store up on our website as we just haven't been able to keep up - so hopefully we are going to get caught up with that shortly. We have brand new Stride Rite shoes that should be up shortly so watch out for those--some *very* cute new ones to choose from!




We also just got word that we'll be able to sell Robeez on our website now -- we're just waiting to get access to the new photos so as soon as we get that we'll be busy adding all of the brand new
Robeez shoes that we just received instore. Of course if you are in Victoria, you can come in to our store and see our new stock in person--there are some REALLY cute
shoes let me tell you!!







Be sure to always check out our seconds/clearance section too for some great deals--right now we are clearing out all of our Ellaroo carriers (there are more in store including some slings that never made it on to our website), all Isabooties soft soled shoes, some kids dinnerware, SOZO minkee sleepsacks (SOOO sweet and soft!!), some bibs and bowling shirts, some Stride Rite winter boots and much more--definitely check out our seconds/clearance section now - and often!!

Well I better get the kids off to school (I have 3 - my oldest son is 8, my daughter is 6 and my youngest son will be 4 next month!) so I will post again another time!

Have a wonderful day!!
