That’s right, the cape MAKES the hero in my book… Specifically, the comic book that I created when I was seven that stars me as Super! Spider! Tony! Man!
The bottom-line? A cape is needed by your little superhero and we have the perfect solution: Locally made Trusty Sidekick Capes! Perfect for the superhero in your life who insists on wearing crime fighting regalia EVERYWHERE.
Handmade using recycled t-shirt fabric and embellished with a selection of super emblems appliqued on the back. Each cape is as unique as the kid wearing it.
Secures at neck with velcro. Super soft, super durable, super washable, super fun!

It is a nasal aspirator that removes mucus from your child’s nose but unlike a bulb it doesn’t require you to place anything all up in your child’s nose. And unlike a bulb, you have full control over the amount of suction applied. The result is more effective mucus removal and more tolerable experience for your baby or toddler.
But how does one market a device that is for sucking snot? The folks at DadLabs have a few ideas:
The Nosefrida is BPA & Phthalate Free. Get the Nosefrida in our Portland boutique or on-line.
