Tired of running to Baby Gap to buy that last-minute shower gift? Plan ahead and give the mother-to-be or toddler an original embroidered baby blanket or bathrobe. Ideal for the lover of all things artistic, A Little Bit of This embroidery shop opened in spring 2004 under the eye of former software developer and current embroidery expert Krista Tennyson. "It’s something I've always wanted to do," said Tennyson of her one-time hobby turned small business.

Tennyson stocks many gifts for babies and toddlers, and does brisk business in the wedding gift industry. Clients can bring in their own pieces of clothing and gift bags to be specially stitched. Brides-to-be will also find a unique selection of bejeweled wedding headpieces and glittering necklaces for bridesmaids to wear down the aisle.
