The Purple Hippopotamus — Local services in Lee's Summit

As a Nana to two wonderful grandsons—a 1 ½-year-old and a sweet 8-week-old—I am always searching for high-quality, super comfortable baby clothing. This boutique has exceeded all my expectations with its innovative, solution-oriented products and outstanding customer service. One of my favorite finds is their adjustable magnetic closure onesie. I have bought nearly every pattern in newborn to toddler sizes. These sweet jammies grow with your little one, extending the life of the outfit. The foldover cuffs on both hands and feet extend its usability and ensure comfort and it is nice to have the option to fold over at nighttime. The magnetic closures make diaper changes quick and silent—an absolute lifesaver during the middle of the night as my daughter has stated numerous times now! Plus, the fabric (modal) is silky soft, breathable, and perfect for sensitive skin. My daughter and son-in-law literally dress the boys in these for daytime and nighttime now because they love them so much. Another recent purchase that was a hit is the Widgeon Polartec fleece coat, which I believe is a must have outerwear piece for infants and toddlers. I wish we had these when my kids were little. The flap-over-flap design with a hook-and-loop closure makes dressing and undressing frustration-free, while the double-layered soft fleece fabric keeps them warm and cozy. It’s stylish, functional, easy to put on without a fuss from the boys, and has the hood attached with easy gathering to keep it around their face. The boys do not fuss at all when we put these on them and it is so easy and fast! What makes this boutique truly special is its dedication to exceptional customer service. They genuinely care about their customers’ needs, making every shopping experience enjoyable and stress-free. The owner and her staff are so helpful and fun to shop with! They are going above and beyond to include classes for parents and on-going support. As a Nana, it brings me so much joy to find clothing that my grandsons love and that makes life easier for their parents. If you’re looking for thoughtful, well-designed baby apparel that combines style, functionality, and sustainability, this boutique is the place to visit in Downtown Lee’s Summit. I love being the Nana who brings home the best—and most-loved—clothing for my grandsons!...

Walked downtown Lee’s Summit and didn’t realize most stores closed at 5! I had glanced in the window and was amazed at all the cute baby clothes when the owner saw me as she was locking up and asked if I wanted to come in and look around! Even cuter inside than just window shopping! I asked how long they’ve been open, and this was their third Saturday. Definitely check it out when in the area - and if that super adorable suitcase is still there the next time I come…I might just grab it! I also noticed that she had Tonies in the corner which are the perfect gift for the littles - and with that, they’re about to put out Christmas stuff so definitely...
