Which would you choose?

I am very passionate about my company, my clients and the quality of my product. I do what I can to reach my niche market but, I also realize that it may not fit into every one's budget... or so I thought? Well, a very conservative business man recently approached me to tell me what he thought about B.Y.O.G. Here's what he said.

"My wife really wanted one of these when she had our daughter but, I didn't get her one. (buy a round of golf instead?) I like your product but, I didn't want to spend $95.00 on a hospital gown. (Fair enough.) My wife went into labor last October and she wore the gown that the hospital provided (you mean the used, overly bleached, open in the back one?) It wasn't the greatest but, she didn't have much choice. (YEAH, cuz you were being cheap!) About a month later I received my hospital bill and noticed a pretty hefty charge for medical supplies. so, I requested an itemized bill. I was pretty shocked to see that we were charged $150.00 for the hospital gown that we left behind at the hospital! I should of made my wife happy and bought her a B.Y.O.G." (I heart you!)

This frugal (brilliant and wonderful) man decided it might be a better option to buy instead of rent next time. He said, "you should really look into this." And I will! I'll post my findings soon!

One last thing... do you have an "ugly" gown story? Do tell!

B.Y.O.G. at the Boom Boom Room Wonderland

B.Y.O.G. was a chosen product at the Golden Globes Luxury Gifting Suite. The event preceded the 2009 Golden Globe awards and we were very honored to participate. We were also fortunate to meet many of (click to see photos) Hollywood's celebrity moms & dads to be. We were also thrilled that the proceeds from the event benefited Los Angeles Area Foster Children in conjunction with the Jayneoni Moore Fund.

Here are the top three celebrity picks:

1. Bellini
2. Blue Lagoon
3. Love birds

We also had fun meeting the other vendors and scoping out new products. Here are some of the wonderful companies that were also at the event:

A Child to Cherish - Beautiful keepsake banks etc...
Chuck the Yuck! - designer barf bags... I'm serious!
Giggles N Hugs - Children's Restaurant (Los Angeles area)
