Send Us Your Picks!

Do you make cool stuff that moms must have? Do you own something that makes all your friends scream, “where did you get that? I MUST own six of them now!” Are you involved with an organization that hip moms across the country could get into? Don’t just sit there, tell us about it.

Send us a url and a few sentences explaining why it’s cool.

What are you looking for exactly?

We fancy non-mainstream products and services, boutique brands, outstanding design, toys with no batteries, handmade goods, cool kids albums and books, and an irreverent sensibility. We are particularly interested in items created by mothers or indie/emerging designers. But hey, we’re open to anything.

Except diaper cakes. Please, please no diaper cakes.

Also, we want moms to be able to simply click and buy. We're busy people, ya know! So if you make a product that you only sell at church craft fairs in the Netherlands we're not the right site for you. If you represent a product that's already sold at that place that rhymes with schmall mart, we're not the right site for you either.

When will you let me know if my submission has been picked?

Due to the volume of submissions we receive, we can no longer respond to every email although when we're all really rich and have 16 assistants we totally will again.

If we're interested an item for review, we will get back to you with an address where you can send samples. We make every effort to review products in a timely manner, but as moms, sometimes things like runny noses and day jobs get in the way.

We will inform you if and when your item is scheduled to be featured. Your submission is not guaranteed a review, but we promise it will get a good look.

My website is not ready yet. Mind if I submit it to you anyway and make you weed through all my broken links and fuzzy photos?

Sure! That's not annoying at all!

If I advertise with you will that guarantee a review?

Nope.

If I send you a sample will that guarantee a review?

Nope, sorry. But we won't ask for a sample unless we already think we're interested.

We do not return samples, however the vast majority of them will be given away to readers to help promote the designer or boutique that sent them to us. We reserve the right to hold onto samples for future promotional opportunities, media appearances or contests. Or once in a while, one of our kids licks it and it just wouldn't be right to give it away after that.

Will anything guarantee a review?

Just us thinking something is cool. You can also tell us how awesome our site is which may or may not help.

If your pick is not selected, you are always welcome to send us other ideas--as in, not the same idea that you're just hoping we forgot that we didn't like in the first place.
