Cupcake: Gimme Gimme Gimme

Just say it. There ain't no baby like your baby, and the whole world needs to know it. Celeb divas (ahem, J-Lo) aren't the only ones willing to break bank for their new munchkin, and that's exactly what Jenny Romeyn-Ramhormozi and Ramin Ramhormozi were thinking when they created Cupcake , "a boutique for the trendy tot" in downtown Santa Rosa and your honorable mention pick for Best Baby Gift Store in Sonoma County. Cupcake has all the sought-after baby designers that, pre-preggo, you didn't even know you absolutely had to have. Baby Lulu, Beehive, Beetlejuice, Diaper Dude, Petunia Pickle Bottom, Robeez—the drool-laden list just doesn't stop. Ahh, the covetous happiness of snuggling your cheek up to organic cotton onesies ($18) in hip Tiffany blues and chocolate browns from swoonworthy brands like Under the Nile, and Pink Axle skull-and-crossbones beanies ($24).

Who said anyone can mess with Junior? He's only three months old, but in that hat, nuh-uh. After salivating over every last freaking clothing item in the store, those with a cupcake still baking can mosey on into the back room where up-to-the-minute maternity clothes are just singing your name. Forget the XL white T-shirts you stole—er, borrowed—from your husband. Brands like Bump Couture and Lauren Kiyomi will have you feeling hot—pre-preggo hot—faster than you can say, "Please remove your hands from my stomach."
