If you love Diapers.com (and who doesn't?), you're going to flip over this: the founders of Diapers.com are about to launch a sister site called Soap.com—stocking over 25,000 daily essentials, from cleaning supplies to deodorant. Prices will be in the Target and Walmart range; shipping will be overnight (and free if you spend more than $50); and the site will share a shopping cart with Diapers.com—so you can restock wipes and mascara all at once. soap.com

Brelli's Chinese-inspired umbrellas for kids ($38) are the coolest things we've seen in rain gear in a long time. Besides looking really chic, they're made with bamboo and a biodegradable PVC-free canopy—plus they withstand downpours and wind gusts shockingly well. Check out the ponchos, too ($22), and don't miss the non-toxic, waterproof Brelli markers ($24), for kids who want to custom-doodle their own Brelli. thebrellishop.com

If you're not already obsessed with Butter So Soft zip-ups and sweats, you will be. Designed by Long Island trendsetter Max & Gino's, Butter is kinda like Free City, only with much softer fabric (yes, like butter), way cooler heat transfers, and a lower price. Retail stores can't keep 'em in stock, and the website is currently sold out of kids' sizes—BUT we know first-hand they'll be getting a new shipment in the next day or two . . . get 'em while you can. Hoodies from $79.50 at butterli.com.

New York City. What real New Yorkers love most about the city are its conveniences—like being able to have your stroller professionally cleaned. Meurice Garment Care's eco-friendly "Petit Meurice" service includes car seat and stroller detailing: they'll get rid of the sweat and ice cream stains, power-vac the crumbs, buff and shine the hardware, and treat the fabric with stain repellant. Of course, it's gonna cost you $133 and a week without your stroller. www.garmentcare.com
