Handmade Holiday: Hold On To Your Hats!

These hats are something special and so is the lady who runs this up and coming shop! I LOVE this idea and the spin instead of just a mask. Please enjoy this read and add these to your own collection of “pretend play” items for your children, these hats are a must-have!

Hi there! My name is Ashlee and I live in New York with my husband, one year old daughter and our Saint Bernard, Duke! I am the co-owner (along with my mother) of Hold On To Your Hats. We create felt play hats to encourage imaginative play and creativity! As a former teacher turned
stay-at-home mom, I understand the importance that imaginative play has on the development of children. We wanted to make “pretend play” as accessible for all children as possible. All you have to do is try on one of our hats and you’ll be hooked!

Hold On To Your Hats opened in September of 2013 so we are in our infant stages still but the response we have gotten thus far has been wonderful! Our shop on Etsy sells hats dedicated to professions as well as our ever popular animal hats! We love doing custom orders as well! We’ve gotten some pretty neat requests and each time they come out better than we ever imagined! We also do hat favors for birthday parties! As I write this, we are designing and making Belle from “Beauty and the Beast” hats for a princess themed birthday party!

For the holidays we have come out with some fun themed hats including, a reindeer, an elf hat, and a super cute penguin with ear muffs! We ask that all orders be completed by December 15th to ensure delivery!
