The Game:
Find a product from the participating Etsy Baby Shower shops that might be what I am looking for.

1. Takes a lot to keep clips in baby’s hair, I dare you to try.  Find me a hairclip that might want to fly.
2. Takes nine months to choose a name, find something personalized for baby’s room to claim.
3. It’s common knowledge, you should know...babies have the sweetest toes. Find me something green for babies feet.
4. Find me a hat for a baby boy. Knit or fabric, either is a joy.
5. Every baby needs something to cuddle. Find me a blanket with an animal you might snuggle.
6. Lots of things for baby girl to play with, but I’m looking for a toy for a baby boy.
7. I need something for baby’s wall. For boys or girls, could be for all.
8. When baby spits up, you need something to catch it. Find a burp cloth and a bib to match it.
9. I need a dress, something with yellow. Pretty dresses make baby mellow.
10. Monsters aren’t just for Halloween. Find me something with a monster theme.

Please submit your answers in the following format:
EXAMPLE.
1. I want to see a hat with pink. Pink is so cute, don't you think?
