Baby Showers Gone Wild! hosted by Los Gatos Baby


Los Gatos Baby Boutique hosted a fun & info-filled evening with event-planners extraordinaire & authors

of The Everything Baby Shower Book, Sabrina Hill & Joni Russell, both from Los Gatos, California.

Sabrina and Joni really wrote the book on baby showers! The Everything Baby Shower Book shows you that baby showers aren't just for mommies anymore! Learn how to plan a baby shower for dads-to-be, grandparents-to-be, or siblings-to-be. It has everything you need to turn any party idea into a baby shower !

At the event, the authors talked about new ideas for baby showers, some "state of the art" baby showers they have organized, and how to plan and run a baby shower to have the most fun for everyone! Like the authors say, "A party should be as much fun to plan as it is to attend".

Interested parents can register for events like these online at the Los Gatos Baby website.

Los Gatos Baby toasts NBC News hosts!




NBC Bay Area News on Weekday mornings co-anchors Laura Garcia-Cannon and her husband
Brent Cannon are expecting triplets soon!


You probably already know that the Bay Area wakes up weekday mornings with the husband and wife team of Brent and Laura Garcia-Cannon . Well, now there will be some new co-anchors in town!



The couple recently came to Los Gatos Baby Boutique to film a short spot about parenting with twins and triplets and to highlight some of the creative baby stores in the Bay Area. The store owner, Belis Etem, showed Brent and Laura Garcia-Cannon around the store and they talked "baby talk" on everything from coming home from the hospital to nursery rhymes to triplet strollers!


If you want to catch some of the "child chat" live, here is a video of some of the couple's tour.


Many thanks go to our local Bay Area companies Bebe Au Lait, Trumpette , and Angel Dear that donated some gifts as congratulations to the triplet parents-to-be!

NBC News and Laura Garcia-Cannon and Brent Cannon are sponsoring charity donations for Bay Area Baby Shower which is part of their Bay Area Proud initiative for needy children in the Bay Area. Anyone who would like to give a gift can do so at one of the regional drop-off centers, and Los Gatos Baby Boutique has volunteered to be a drop-off center for our area. The couple wanted to extended their gratitude and say "Thank You" for all of the generous contributions that have come in so far.
