The Holiday Gift Guide is up now on the TenderCargo.com front page. We found so many fun gifts this year – naturally, most of them are in our growing toy section for babies and toddlers.

Many customers opened wishlists and registries at our store this year – and we’re seeing a lot of people who have started their shopping already. At least at the moment, our store is still well-stocked for the busy weeks to come!

As always, orders ship same-day or next-day with the shipping carrier of your choice. Happy Shopping!

Our warmest thanks to all of you who passed on the word about us! We appreciate every bit of it!

We are excited to have outgrown our stockroom and are presently moving to a larger shipping location.

A few Beco Butterflies in each color are still at our usual stockroom and available for immediate shipment. But, all the rest of our stock was delivered Saturday to the new space and needs some time to be organized on the shelves before it will be ready for shipping to customers. Please expect that any orders placed on this 3-day weekend will require an extra couple of days to ship out, and then we will be back to our next-day-or-faster shipping standards. Thank you!

Our entire stock of Zolowear baby slings is set to ship free.
There is no coupon code required- the deal is automatically applied.

Here is a selection of our 16 fabric colors. Most Zolowear slings are strong cotton with a little bit of stretch, but there are also 3 choices in silk brocade, 2 UV-protective summer slings, and 3 organic choices from their sustainable production line.

All are suitable for newborns up to 2 or 3. They are incredibly well-constructed and safety tested into the hundreds of pounds for weight, but realistically, once your child is 30 or 35 pounds, you’ll both rather have her walk!

Right here.

Here’s a shot of me and my girl. I don’t carry her on my back much because she is almost 3. When we go out she usually walks while I carry baby brother, but this photo shows us at home.

It was December, I needed to ship packages, she wanted to cuddle.

The carrier is a Beco 4th generation in Metropolis.

The official word from the US Postal Service is that Express mail sent by Dec 22nd will indeed arrive anywhere in the US by Christmas. As usual, we do our part by having all items in stock, ready for same-day shipment, and leave the rest to USPS, who we cannot control but you see for yourself that they are promising Christmas Eve delivery in the link above.

A rare interview with Christine from Tender Cargo was posted today  as a “spotlight” on TheBabyWearer.com. Questions and answers will continue all week.

There is a new page up on the site with photos and instructions on the steps to creating and sharing a wishlist.
